Trying to decide whether to get myself a newer smaller car as my wife now has a family car. Cant work out what my car is worth. It is a 51 plate E class Estate 320cdi with leather and auto/tip. It has just broken 100K. FSH with the last one or two at a specialist. I am 2nd owner, previously my fathers car from new. I need to get a v small dent sorted on the boot. After that and a polish I think it is in pretty good order. I cant for the life of me work out what it is worth. Parkers seems to be out of step with autotrader. But autotrader is such a load of rubbish it makes it difficult. Anyone any ideas? Cheers

As a rough TRADE IN guide you can use Glass's trade guide on Vauxhall's web site.
http://www.vauxhall.co.uk/vx/sitemap.do
In bottom right hand corner click on "Value your car"
It gives a price of £6800 for excellent condition, this is for trade in & doesn't take into account options, so for a private sale you should be looking at £7k+ assuming Glass's is about right. Remember that Auto trader prices are what people are asking , not necessarily what they are selling for if they are selling at all.

Useful link thanks. I got a slightly higher value as I put in the Elegance model.
