How do you determine the selling price for my car?

Updated 7 July 2026

We base the selling price on several key factors:

  • Current market conditions - what similar vehicles are actually selling for (not just advertised at)
  • Your vehicle's condition - honest assessment, including any cosmetic or mechanical issues
  • Mileage and service history - full service history commands premium prices
  • Specification and desirability - popular colours, trim levels, and features
  • Age and MOT status - time remaining affects value
  • Market demand - seasonal trends and local Essex/London demand
 

We'll provide a realistic valuation that balances achieving the best price while ensuring the car sells within a reasonable timeframe. You'll have the final say on the asking price, and we'll advise on pricing strategy based on our decades of market knowledge.
