buying a second hand car

Hi, I would be grateful if anyone could advise me about which is the best independent website where I can find what a car of a certain year and mileage should cost. I have seen a lot of advertisements of cars and there are different prices but I would like to pay what is fair and not more than I should. Also, it is the first time I am buying a second hand car and I would be grateful if you could advise me about the steps I should take when I buy the car, the things I need to check and things like that. Thanks a lot

    parkers.co.uk has a section for used car prices as well.

    I know there's the Glass' guide as well and there was a trick to get a free valuation, but forgotten what it is

    You can get a free Glass' trade-in price from the Vauxhall UK website - then Owners->Value Your Car

    Not a second hand valuation but gives an idea what the garage would offer/buy at.
