The right price for your car is a balance between its 'book' and market value, and what will ensure it gets the attention of potential buyers amongst similar cars for sale.

Get this balance wrong and either you'll be deluged in buyers and end up out of pocket. Or there'll be a stoney silence and the cost of advertising will have been wasted.

So take care to price your car both accurately and in line with the current local market. Request our free appraisal (see below), or read our What My Car's Worth guide for more info on how to find the right price for yourself.

FREE APPRAISAL of what your car's worth:

Just drop us a line to and we'll mail you back with what we think your car is worth. All you need to tell us is:

- your car make, model & variant
(eg. Ford, Focus, 1.6LX 5-door automatic)

- its registration letter or number, and year of registration (eg. X / 2001)

- its mileage

- your postcode

We'll price your car as if we were valuing our own for sale. Our view will be based on values given in a range of car price guide publications, PLUS an assessment of the market for the car in your area.

Please ensure that you send us all the info about your car listed above. If any is missing we cannot give you an accurate valuation and will not be able to reply.

We will not store your e-mail address, pass it to anyone else, or use it to contact you again for any other purpose.
