How to Get an Accurate Evaluation of Your Car

The Red Book or Glasses Guide may be popular and a very easy way to arrive at an evaluation of the car you want to sell – but it won’t be an accurate estimate of its true value.

This is an important point, because many car owners use these automated valuation systems and end up settling for a lower fee than they could otherwise get with a professional evaluation.

The way to get an accurate car evaluation is to take it to a dealer with experience and a good knowledge of cars AND the car market. This usually requires a team of seasoned professionals who have been in the industry a while and have a good network of contacts, ensuring they can sell your car on easily and therefore offer a good price.

Next ensure that the sales process includes a detailed, physical inspection of your car buy a qualified mechanic. Anything less and it’s a guessing game. Only by checking your vehicle thoroughly can the true condition be assessed and a fair and informed evaluation made.

Many car buying companies simply don’t do this and rely on figures essentially plucked out the air when they provide a car valuation.
