How reliable are the Parkers price guides when it comes to selling a car?The reason I ask is that according to Parkers my car is currently valued as follows:Franchised Dealer £ 6660 Independent Dealer £ 6195 Private Good £ 5040 Private Poor £ 4160 Part Exchange £ 4715 Now I have just been offered £3000 absolute max for part ex, interesting I bought the car from an independant dealer last August for £5500 which also blows those prices out of the water.Now there is one factor that may be a fault here, and that is the fact that the car has 70k on it, and those prices are based around 30k - that being said I cant see the additional miles knocking nearly 2 grand off the part ex - might be wrong though. Anybody got a full Parkers account that can do valuations on mileage??Also while I am here I need to buy a new car, something that will ferry a family of 4 and associated shit around. 2 kids under 3, so it needs to have a ferry sized boot.The car I have now (Renault Laguna) is forcing me to considered invading an oil producing country, so I also need a car with decent MPG (maybe a diesel?).
