We'd need the car details

fatbatman · 19 Feb 2021 at 20:15

Yeah I can trust them over if you are able to help

Dis86 · 20 Feb 2021 at 00:01

Omg. It's a mega super secret car? Please don't leave us all hanging!

watercooledman · 20 Feb 2021 at 04:34

Well it's goto be the batmobile

fatbatman · 20 Feb 2021 at 08:15

Not at all. But there are reasons people blank them out in pictures etc.

What's your car's reg?

Malt_Vinegar · 20 Feb 2021 at 08:19

Here, have my reg.
YD06 WPW.
I have no idea why people get so hung up on hiding the plate. It's one of those great internet myths that gets bandied about and as far as I can tell has no basis in reality.

I mean, I have asked if someone can run a glass's valuation and I'll trust the reg / details over - I don't see the problem myself.

Anyhow, if some one would actually like to help me, please give me a shout!

Thanks

I guess it's just that if the reg was posted they could do it in 10 seconds, post a single reply and be done with it.
But now they have to post to say they can help, wait for a trust message, then check, then post/ trust you the results?

Might mean you are less likely to get a response, that's all

I know you probably like to think of yourself as the class clown. I just wanted some answers to my OP and your two posts have been off-topic. Bet you went to the extent of inputting my reg also lol. Some people have nothing better to do I suppose.

God I'd hate to be as boring and miserable as you. At least watercooledman has a sense of humour.

Another bit of advice please. So my car has been written off and I read they go for Glass's valuation as a baseline which seems off by a couple grand if I look nationally on auto trader.

There is only one car which is similar to mine in spec and age which is £7000 private sale.

Am I going to get shafted or is there something I can do to get a better price?

You can sometimes use the dreamer prices on autotrader/etc to help bump up the offer after they make the first one.

I requested a higher value on my minivan years ago when they offered a book value, and I sent them adverts, expert evaluation and pre incident pictures and proof of the condition being exceptional.

Iirc, their value was about £200 initially, but went up to north of 2k afterwards.
Figures may be slightly out, but it was over 20 years ago now!

I mean they appear to be more accurate than an algorithm which doesn't include market rate. The older 2010 (pre facelift) models are going for about £4000-5000, there are quite a few of those. Sadly, only one of mine in the whole of the UK to use as an example.
