Solid, no fuss pricing for cars. I bought a sub for £5/mo. and that's cheap. The car valuation site part might benefit from a redesign to require fewer clicks. You should be able to save your setti... See more

VEHICLE VALUATIONS ARE WAY UNDER THE PRICE THAT YOU CAN EXPECT TO PAY FOR VEHICLES ON THE OPEN MARKET OR FRANCHISED DEALERS, EVEN IF YOU ACCEPT THAT ASKING PRICES ARE NOT SOLD PRICES. - I WON'T USE THIS SERVICE AGAIN!

Hi - thanks for the feedback.
Our information is based around professional valuations data from CAP/HPi which are one of leading data suppliers in the UK. Valuations are unlikely to be a long way off the mark.

We have a dedicated helpdesk to assist users with any queries regarding valuations and can normally assist with any valuation enquiry.

Our helpdesk team say they've not been contacted by you.
If you email feedback@parkers.co.uk with a full rundown on the problem, we'll report back to you any findings.

Scratching the surface.

Most motoring correspondents only scratch the surface, quite literally. I come to Parkers when I need objective, reliable and informed guidance. Thank you so much for being able to depend on you>

Few optional extras listed in paid version.

I purchased the “Custom Valuation” service as it stated it covered many more aspects than the free version. Given the car I was interested in, a Mini Clubman, had several “Optional Extras” that were non standard, and I wanted to compare it against some others, I paid for a month’s access.
Pretty useless, the app only lists a tiny proportion of the available optional extras, nothing for LED headlights for example, so scarcely better than the free version. Very disappointing. Ho hum.

Always check cars I’m going to buy and probably saved me thousands over the years.

Hi thanks for the review.
Glad that we could assist you and it's a common issue with low-balling prices from these types of companies. Expect trade minus up to 15-20% which does no favours for the consumer. Tell them to [politely] 'take a hike'!!

Honest appraisals.

Honest, fair, appraisals and pricing. Didn't take any time either, quick responses. I beleive this service to be more people orientated than companies seeking to buy your car for resale on a business basis. Parkers give you a far more personalised service.

Fantastic source of information

Fantastic source of information. Not having bought a car for thirteen years so not really taking notice of changes to VED I had no idea of the extra cost involved in buying a new car

Useful and helpful

I’ve always used Parker guide and think it’s really helpful for a novice who’s buying a car and wants to know all the basic bits and bobs. Still wish they done a magazine as long winded on the internet but still very helpful thanks
