Selling your car can be a time consuming minefield, especially if you have no idea on the true value of your car! This is where free car valuations come in useful.
A free car valuation is simple to obtain and will only take a few minutes of your time. They are an approximate valuation of your car which is as accurate as it can be when completed over the internet without viewing your car.

If the car has been an import, used as a police car, a driving tuition car, a taxi or has been in an accident you may find your value is decreased.
You will need to assess the body, mechanics and interior condition of the car for your valuation and be as accurate as possible noting any chips, scratches or dents to the body work and any problems with the mechanics you are aware of.

It is therefore essential you fill in the valuation form as accurately as possible to avoid future deductions and disappointment.
After completing the free car valuation form you will be given the value of your car and if you would like to go ahead with selling you can choose from many appointments at your nearest dealer. You will need to take your car and they will inspect it to ensure the details match your description.
