Honest Car Value Estimator — Private, Trade-in & Part-Exchange Ranges

Free honest car valuation tool. Enter your car's details and a comparable advertised price to see transparent private-sale, dealer trade-in, part-exchange and instant-buy value ranges — with the factors and limitations explained.

Auto Trader and We Buy Any Car always give different numbers because they measure different things. This estimator shows all of them side by side: private sale, dealer trade-in, part-exchange and instant-buy ranges.

Enter your car's make, model, registration year, mileage, fuel type and condition, plus a comparable advertised price you have found for a similar car. The tool turns that comparable into transparent value ranges using an explained methodology — it does not invent a market price or scrape any valuation service.

It is an honest estimate, not a guaranteed offer. The closer your comparable matches your car, the more useful it is.

The car value estimator is interactive and needs JavaScript. Open the tool in a browser to enter your car's details and see the estimated ranges.
