    Nobody above recommended Parkers. Why ask for advice if you're going to go and do your own thing instead?
    True it's just that I thought Parker's guide prices might be more reliable than any others although having checked their prices with those of actual dealers it seems like they undervalue quite often. For example A car for sale at £10600 at a franchised dealer came up as being valued £9870. I checked other cars and they came up with similar differences.
    Someone mentioned autotrader so I'll give them a go to see if they can value more accurately.

    Parkers would be about the least reliable source, Autotrader is ok, also Glass' Guide if you know someone in the trade.
    You can have results or excuses, but not both.
