How do You Value my Car?
Here at Free Car Valuations we use various resources available to us to value your car. As well as our years of experience in buying and selling cars and knowing what they are worth within the motor trade at the current time. We also use the standard industry guides that asses car values each and every month. These guides known as CAP & Glass’ are used by pretty much every reputable dealer and car buyer in the country, whether they are deciding how much they can retail a car for to deciding what the value of your car is to part exchange, to what a cars value may be to sell at a car auction. We consider all these factors when you ask us to value your car.
What else can affect the Value of my Car?
As well as what is happening in the car industry with regards to the value of your car, other factors that heavily effect what your car is worth include:-
Service History – If this is full, up to date and by a main franchise dealer than it is fair to assume the value of your car will be higher than a car with only partial service history.
Wheels/Tyres – If the wheels are in good condition (not kerbed) and there is at least 3mm tread on your tyres than these will allow us to value your car for more.
Number of previous owners - If your car is only 5 years old and has had 10 owners then you can say with certainty the value of your car would be higher had it only had 2 or 3 owners.
Mileage – One of the biggest determining factors in we consider when you say “value my car” is how many miles it has done. Whilst lower mileage makes your car easier to sell it doesn’t necessarily mean your car is worth substantially more, however a car with higher then the 12,000 miles a year average would see its value reduced, sometimes substantially.
Body Work Condition – It really should go without saying, if your cars bodywork is in excellent condition the value of your car will be much higher than one with dents and scratches. It is worth bearing in mind one door panel on a car could cost at least £200 to paint.
