Finding what a car is worth?

Options
Does anyone know of a site that will tell me how much my car is worth. I've got a 2000(w) PT Cruiser 2.0 5d limited edition but can't find a valuation on line.

I seem to remember looking at the parkers guide years ago but it doesn't look like it's free anymore.

Thanks

    go to something like webuyanycar and get valuation usuing fake details but add around 10% maybe to their price

    also remember to declare all scratches etc to get more accurate price

    or you can go on autotrader and look for similar car to yours

    not a lot!
    a 53 plate is worth nothing according to parkers, so less that that!

    Thanks for that. Just trying to decide whether to call it a day with it and get another car.

    In addition to the various things wrong with it (ie tyres need pumping up every few days, exhaust knocks against tow bar, heated rear window not heating up, no radio, screen wash blockage as not coming out, a bit rattly and squeaky.) at the moment, it's now got a power steering leakage which will cost about £300 to put right.

    Had a cruiser last year 2l petrol 22mpg.

    Was a 51 plate, could not give it away. Went for scrap money in the end and there was nothing wrong with it.

    have you looked on wisebuyers?

    After reading about the faults IMO it is worth....scrap value

    A nice bold attempt by Chrysler to introduce something a bit different, but crazy parts prices initially and dubious build quality meant they never took off. If you have the space, worth more to break and sell the parts than you'll get for scrap/sale.

    Changing the subject very slightly, sorry, I had never heard of Wisebuyers before.

    Just had a quick look, gives Mk4 Golf top marks for quality and reliability;

    Shall not be ever looking for their opinion again, utter madness and utter sh*te.
    And that my son, is how to waft a towel!

    I like cars that look like they were designed in the 50s. I'm really leaning towards getting a nissan figaro - the only thing is tat the engine is too weak - needs to be mx-5 powered at the very least.

    When the PT cruiser came out it reminded me of the mob films goodfellas, road to perdition etc. Really wanted it - but the pt cruiser has grown out of me now.

    Sorry but that's an awful looking car.
