You can be quoted sky high prices for used vehicles and it’s important to have a good idea on the valuation of a used car before you go withdrawing thousands of pounds out of the bank. There are many used car valuation tools online but not all of them will be correct. You should use an estimated valuation as a guide only, and knock the owner down as much as you can.
We’re not saying you should bully the individual into dropping their price, but you should always have an idea of the price your willing t pay, so make sure you do not entertain silly valuations. Doing your homework on the used car model you desire is always important, while checking the prices of similar cars on second hand sales websites is a good way to see the sort of price you may have to pay.
Mileage is always important and you may find two quotes for the same type of car, and the main difference is likely to be mileage. Always try to lower the asking price when the mileage is high, because you could end up paying over the odds to find there are many repairs needed.
