My car is due for it’s Insurance renewal, however rather than going with my current provider I have decided to visit a few price comparison websites first, to see if I can get a cheaper quote. First up I went on confused.com and started filling out all the usual details but then came across the section where they want me to provide a value for my car which has really stumped me.
I know how much I bought the car for and I know that obviously it’s value will have greatly depreciated since, but not being affiliated with the motor trade, how can I possibly ascertain it’s value?
Are there any reliable and trust-worthy websites I can use to make an evaluation?
It would have been good if confused.com provided a means of calculating my car’s value.
I don’t really want make an estimate (although) tempted in case I am well off the mark and end up invalidating my insurance.
What a quandary to be in just to meet the obligation of a law-abiding motorist.
If anyone can help me with this matter,
I look forward to hearing from you

How Do I Find Out The Value Of My Car?
Posted on January 21, 2012.
I usually find that Parker’s Guide or Glass’s Guide are the best. I’m reluctant to post a link to it as last time I did that, someone reported me for spam, but you can generally find them on a search engine. To be honest, the market value of a car changes so frequently that you can only really give a rough estimate, and if you do need to claim, they will pay the market value at the time of the claim and not the value you proposed when you took the insurance out, so they wont invalidate the insurance if the value is a few pounds out.
ebay is correct.. it will tell you what the real world value of the car is. KBB tells you what they think it would sell for. Ebay tells you what it would actually sell for
Kelly Blue Book is pretty much the standard for auto value estimates.http://www.kbb.com/whats-my-car-worth/
Be honest about they ratings you give when you look at the categories.
This site will do it for you http://www.parkers.co.uk
Getting it a bit wrong will not invalidate the insurance – they ask for an estimate.
if in uk, buy a parkers guide or similar from the newsagent and it will tell you, ebay will not give you a realistic price, things are always cheaper on there
you can use parkers guide ..but if you have it written off ..your fault or not ..they will be using glasses guide ..its a trade only guide
Parkers
