Hi, We have a Toyota Hilux 171 - commercial vehicle, two door, low mileage. We are looking for a valuation with the view to sell. Can you please advise how we can go about to get a professional assessor opinion? Thank you for your help. Christina
Hi Christina,
I don't know of any such thing as a professional valuation service that you pay for, as car prices can vary so much. As assessor usually just looks for issues and faults with a vehicle. We can certainly help with an estimate from afar.
A disclaimer first: estimating used car values is an inexact science at the best of times, and the market is abnormal right now with prices generally inflated. We can try to give you an estimated value the car would sell for, but that may have little relation to a trade-in price a dealer will offer, as they will offer considerably less - and the amount offered will vary considerably from dealer to dealer, too.
Most examples of the Hilux of that year are crew cab, but even so, we'd expect your car to fetch between €20,000 and €25,000.

Ask us anything motoring related and please provide as much information as possible so we can give you the most accurate advice.
