Our Information Providers

Glass's Information Services

Vehicle specifications and prices are provided by Glass's.

 

Having developed the idea for Glass's Guide to used vehicle values in 1933, Glass's has built up unrivalled expertise in this field. Its data is the starting point from which almost all used vehicles are bought and sold in the motor industry today.

 

Glass's takes knowledge from within the trade, researches published prices of used cars and speaks to dealers and other professionals. This information is then used to find the consumer value for most cars between six months and eight years old.

Prices

Vehicle specifications and prices are provided by Glass's and cover most makes/models sold in the UK over the past eight years.

 

For new cars the price is the manufacturer's recommended list price. However, whilst Glass's Information Services Ltd has taken every care to ensure accuracy in compiling this data, no responsibility can be accepted for any errors, omissions or consequential changes. The used car price shown is the 'dealer asking' or 'windscreen' price. It is not necessarily the price you would actually pay, as it may be the subject of negotiation, discount or an extra allowance on the value of your own car in a part exchange transaction. It will also vary depending on any special offers applicable at the time, condition, length of warranty and any options and extras that may be fitted. The condition of the vehicle is assumed to be excellent. Glass's average car will cover 12,000 miles each year for the first three years of its life, 8,000 miles for the next three years and then 6,000 miles each year thereafter. The amount quoted should be used as a guide only.

 

Cars outside Glass's age and mileage ranges, some specialist or limited edition vehicles in short supply or rare vehicles will not appear on this site.

 

Used-car Valuations

Detailed valuations that take the condition, age/registration and recorded mileage into account are based on data supplied by CAP.

 

Projected Future Values

Estimates of future residual values are provided by Glass's Information Services. Future residual values data might be up to two weeks out of date – Glass's updates the data in the middle of each month while this site is updated at the end of the month

.

The residual value represents the anticipated future price paid for a car by a trade buyer who is intending to offer the car for retail sale.

Not all vehicles will have a future residual value. For example, cars outside the age and mileage ranges, some specialist or limited edition vehicles, vehicles in short supply or rare vehicles will not have a value. Values are also excluded for cars under six months old and those over 60 months.

In forecasting future values information Glass's will use all reasonable skill and care but does not warrant the accuracy of any particular figure which should be treated as a guide only.

 

Assumptions

1. Condition is defined as what is 'reasonable' having regard to age and mileage.
2. A full service history and one or two registered owners from new is assumed.
3. Any abnormal repairs will have been carried out to the manufacturer's standards. Where more extensive damage repairs have been completed and potential buyers are made aware of the fact, prices will be adversely affected.
4. Values are usually standard production models. There are cases where values will include commonly specified optional extras if they significantly influence the resale price.


 

Econometrics

The Econometrics are provided by LMC Automotive Services (part of JD Power), and the data provides assumptions on Annual Interest Rates (Gross Interest Rate, net of inflation) and changes in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). GDP is the measure of the British economy, and is the value of goods and services produced during a period of time.
