Car "book value"

[tonysoprano]

http://www.book-value.co.za seems to work ok.

some of the prices seem a bit off, but the first one i tried was within R1000 of the exact book value. one of the cars i tried returned R0

Why is this starting to look like spam.

Is "book" trade or retail?

Book value is supposed to be the value for the car for trade in and insurance.
Insurance companies usually offer just below book value, while dealers usually offer about 10% - 20% below book value (bastards!)

If you sell a car privately,you should try add on about 20% to the book value

If this still works:

Make: VW Golf 5
Model: 2.0 FSI Highline
KM's done: 240000

Looks more accurate than that other book value site

That's a really nice site

Nice site but value my car higher than my insurance value by about R15k, quite a difference.

I played around a little...the Zoopa values in my mind looks to be closer to Retail values than book values?

Yeah it works well if your car is listed there.

Yes it is.

Either way at the end of the day it tells you what it's worth and helps you make an educated decision.
