How to value your car before you sell

Pricing your car correctly is the single biggest factor in how quickly it sells. Pitch it too high and buyers scroll past; too low and you leave money on the table.

Start with the basics: age, mileage, fuel type and condition. A full service history is worth real money — buyers pay for peace of mind, and main-dealer stamps carry the most weight.

Finally, time your sale. Convertibles move fastest in spring, 4x4s in autumn, and family cars just before the new school year.
