Here are five great reasons to get your car valued today.

Find out how much a car is worth with a Glass's valuation

1. Get the right price for your car

A Glass’s car valuation gives a good indication of how much your car is worth in a private sale, and includes up-to-date prices for different models.

A quick look at Glass’s values will also highlight any fluctuations in the used car market which could affect asking price. This can help you set your vehicle's price correctly, increasing your chances of a first-time sale with minimum fuss.

2. Don’t spend more than you need

A car valuation isn’t just for sellers – you’ll want to know if you’re paying the right price when buying a car too.

Glass’s values are trusted, so if a car is priced too high you may want to look elsewhere. Alternatively vehicles up for sale at thousands of pounds less than the going rate could indicate a bargain – or a problem. Make sure you check the car thoroughly before buying.

3. Find out a car’s trade-in value

Glass’s values also tell you how much you’ll get from a part exchange deal. Dealers will generally offer you less than a private buyer, but they have extra expenses to consider, such as:

• Refurbishment and valeting
• Servicing and storage
• Warranty, administration and title checks
• Advertising and VAT

Because of this it can be difficult to estimate a car’s trade-in value, but Glass’s values will give you an accurate trade-in value for a car in:

1. Excellent condition
2. Average condition
3. Below average condition

4. Save money

A Glass’s valuation will probably save you much more than it costs. If you’re buying used from a dealership, a Glass’s values will tell you:

• The car’s retail price – how much a dealer will sell the car for
• The latest list price new
• A personalised valuation adjusted for mileage, extras and condition for just £3.50

You can use this data to help negotiate with a dealer, giving you the best possible price. Research prices before arriving at the dealership to improve your chances of getting a great deal.

5. A name you can trust

Glass's has been valuing cars for over 75 years and are the trusted source of used car values for more than 90 per cent of UK car dealers.

When it comes to car prices, no other data provider can match Glass’s experience or expertise. The motor trade uses Glass’s Guide to buy its cars, so it makes sense for the private motorist to follow suit with Glass’s values.
