(2nd hand) Car prices?

Bit confused who to believe with prices as looking around different dealers have slightly different prices and then parkers, whatcar and *cant rmemeber* have totally different ones? So who should you believe and/or which price do you aim for?

Also are whatcar any good as they've confused me as unless i;ve missed something big out then how can (the pic below) price be out by 20%

What Car is rubbish with valuations. It reckons my car for example is worth 9k, lol.

Use Parkers if you have to.

How do you get a depreciation graph? Is that on Whatcar?

What other options are there then ?

Common sense and comparing the car you are interested in with the prices of others.

It's pointless Parkers saying a car is worth £5k if there are only 10 examples within 200 miles of you and every single one is priced at £7k.

With the graph it's the top black line that shows the price for that year. Which is why it looks out, because they added the green line and the bottom black one.
