Are Auto Trader car valuations accurate?

By Graham Sharpe. I recently purchased a used car and had to pay 9000 for it. I'm not complaining - it was a very good car, which is why I paid so much for it. But the valuation that I was given was only 6000.

I asked the dealer what he thought was wrong, and he told me that they don't know. It's an old model, so they can't give an accurate valuation.

This is obviously frustrating, because I could have done a lot better if I'd had a more accurate valuation. I've heard from other people that they've also been given inaccurate valuations. Is this a common problem? How can I get a better valuation?

Thanks,GrahamSharpe. We're sorry to hear that you've had such a bad experience with an auto trader. We've all been there. We all want the best deal possible, and that includes valuing a vehicle.

Unfortunately, auto traders are often not that well versed in auto valuations, and it's not uncommon for them to make mistakes. What can you do? You're right to be upset about the experience you've had. As a consumer, you should always be able to trust the valuations that you're given.

So what can you do about it? The best thing to do would be to complain to the trader. The trader should listen to your concerns and try to resolve the problem. If the dealer refuses to help, you could always take the vehicle to another dealer to get a more accurate valuation. Alternatively, you could choose to move on from the auto trader altogether. Don't lose faith in auto traders just because you've had a bad experience. What can auto traders do? You might be surprised to know that auto traders are actually pretty good at valuing cars. Many of them are now part of specialist companies and have had years of experience, and they work hard to be as accurate as possible. Auto traders are trained to understand what makes a car tick. They understand all the different components that make up a vehicle, and they know how to value each one.

Unfortunately, they're also trained to do their job fast and efficiently.

Why get a car valuation?

There are many factors to consider when purchasing a new car. The main factors to consider are value for money, fuel efficiency, power and reliability. The most important factor though is you and your family's needs.

Choosing the best car for you is a tough decision. So we have developed this easy to follow guide to help you decide which model to choose.

This guide is designed to help you make the best choice. So, we need to know what are the main questions you want answered? Here are some questions that may help you decide which car is best for you. Do you plan on having kids? If so, then you should consider getting a car with a good safety rating. A good safety rating means you will have the most protection from a head on collision and, as well as giving your kids a safe ride, it also saves you money on insurance. Do you have to be in work at times during the day? If so, then you should consider getting a car that has enough power to get you where you need to go. You could save some money by not buying a car that is too big, but you could also risk getting stuck or running out of fuel when you need to get somewhere quickly. You can also get a car that has more range if you travel long distances often. Are you a woman? If so, then you should consider getting a car that is cheaper to run, but still gives you all the features you need. You can check the fuel economy by looking online and seeing which cars get the best MPG, this is the most accurate way of measuring how efficient a car is. Do you need to be able to carry lots of luggage? If so, then you should consider getting a car that is more comfortable. If you have to carry a lot of luggage with you at times, you might find the back seat uncomfortable and so you might better off getting a car that is easier to load up. Where do you live? If you live in a city then you should get a car that has a good range, but is also more economical to run. If you live in the countryside then you should consider getting a more powerful car that will get you where you need to go.
