So why is it that this 'Glasses' guide is only for the trade?? I thought we lived in an open society.

Very good - thanks for pointing that one out

[Tonyrec]

Thanks for the advice guys......mucho appreciated

Glass's have their own website. For £2.50 you can have a valuation and it allows you to include all the options.

A word of warning is that you will find that the guides in the showroom show a different amount. If possible get someone to give you a valuation from CAP. They are not quite as kind as Glass's and will give you a better idea of what you are likely to get as a trade in value at a dealer.

Thanks.

Ive agreed to buy a new car which is for delivery on 1st March and i know what my car is worth to them now but they will re appraise it in 6 weeks time and i dont want to get fleeced if you know what i mean.

If my customers knew how much we paid for a product they'd want to buy it for that price, not one that included a profit. Supermarkets and shops don't let you see what they paid, so why should car dealers?

Seems fair enough. Most things have a trade or wholesale price and a retail price.

Not another new car and another car sale mate...
Are you trying to catch up with silverback Mike?

[Tonyrec]

Hello Oggsie,

No mate, i will never catch up with Mike, hes in a league of his own.

...and a trade in price and a Glass' valuation

I always thought that Glass' guide was there to enable the garage to say, 'it is only worth £50, but I'll give you £75 trade in'.

Certainly, Glass' guide valuations have always made me chuckle at least, garages have always shown me the relevant page to back up their claims so it doesn't seem so secretive.
