Testimonials - How Glass's valuations help in negotiations

Helping Negotiation

"I found your valuation to be spot on. Bought my new Seat Leon and went in wielding your valuation!! Salesman didn't argue. Did a good deal thanks to you"
(Stuart Lowery)

"I was very pleased with the valuation which gave a realistic range for me to work with bargaining a trade in price. I took the print out with me and was able to work through the value of my car relative to the condition. I would recommend this service and would also use it again in the future."
(Owen Marsh)

"My recent contact with the website was an excellent way of confirming that the price I had been quoted for my new car was reasonable. I trusted your guidance and used it to my advantage in negotiating a realistic price. Overall, I would recommend the service to any private car purchaser."
(Keith Potter)

"This was the second time I used the site and found it a pleasant experience. When part-exchanging I got the exact price quoted, (although I did quote your figures though). I use your site because dealers usually dismiss those other valuation magazines available from newsagents. Overall very happy with the service and recommend it to others."
(Steve Rees)

"I found the valuation a good starting point for discussions with garages, as they tend to use your guide as their basis. Your valuation was lower than I had received from other sites, however I believe it was a lot more realistic than the other sites quoted. I would absolutely recommend your site to others."
(Simon Hall)

"One of my colleagues suggested your site and to ensure that I had all the specification of the SLK when I went through a full spec valuation. This I did and printed of the valuation. I took this with me which I produced during the negotiations and pointed out the fact that it was a Glass’s valuation as well which is the recognised industry standard when it comes to second hand car valuations. The end result was in my favour as I managed to negotiate a good price by having the valuation to hand. Many thanks, it was a worthy purchase"
(David Jewkes)

"I found that you valuation was very good it was most useful when I was actually looking to purchase a new car, I had your valuation safely tucked in my handbag and when certain car dealers were being less than helpful with their trade in price I just referred to mine. I thought the various trade in values were very good. I would use your valuation again and have recommended members of my family to use it. Many thanks for a great service."
(M. Bell)

"I thought the information provided was useful in deciding the trade in value for the Nissan against my new car purchase. It was a good negotiating tool and as such helped me to get a fair deal. I think the fee you charged was reasonable in view of my prospective expenditure on the new car purchase. As it is a service I will need only once or twice every 3-5 years I think it well worth it. I liked the ease of use of the website too."
(Mr J Eddington)

"I have found the service to be really good and have used it on numerous occasions and will continue to do so. When trading cars into main dealers, I have used your trade-in value as the basis for my vehicle’s value and then negotiated a discount on their asking price."
(Nick Bargewell)

"I have used the site a few times now. It is useful for both buying and selling cars, and I have used the information for both. I print out the report when prospective purchasers come to look at my cars for sale, and produce as backup when the offers come in too low."
(Gary Wilde)

"I thought the site and valuation were fine. The Nissan sold for only £10 under the valuation price so was pleased with that. To be honest I could have guessed the figure but it’s nice to have a Glass’s valuation as a bargaining chip."
(David Jennings)

"I found your service very good, it helped me negotiate a sensible price for my new car. Regards, John"

"Your valuations are always extremely valuable principally because they are considered to be the most reliable and authentic, as such they provide an extremely useful negotiating tool."
(Mark Stanger)

"I found the site easy to use & the figures were useful in my negotiations with the garage where I traded in my car for a new one."
(Marion Wells)

"Yes, the valuation helped. The vehicle original price was £18,500. They only offered to drop that to £17,800. I checked your site, got the price of £17,500, offered that and it was accepted. I think having an independent valuation helped in my negotiation."
(Andy Hannah)

"The valuation was useful in assessing the value of our car which we were trading in. Glass’s is the market leader in reputation for valuations so it gave us a lot of confidence when talking with the dealer. Particularly helpful was the range of values for various conditions of the same vehicle. Payment methods were nice and easy to follow. Can't find much to improve on as did exactly what we needed it to do. Thanks, Todd"

"Glass’s helped me negotiate the best price as I understood the market values. I would definitely recommend that no one should buy a car without having an accurate valuation."
(Duncan Watson)

"Your valuation helped us greatly in setting a price for the sale of our used car and we appreciated it very much. We used it as a guide price as it was a quick sale. We considered it well worth it to pay for a valuation to show to a prospective buyer. Thank you for this service."
(Mr & Mrs MacIver)
