Anyone here work in a car yard?

The missus and I want to get a new (second hand) car but need to know approximately how much of a trade in we'd get on her current one.

What kind of car you looking @ getting, and what is your current one? I might be able to give you a rough estimate depending on the car.
I will be selling 1 car soon and be looking to buy a couple.

If you're a member of the RAA they can help.
There's also a publication around called glasses guide I think.

DISSY you can pretend you want to buy a car at a yard
and ask for a trade in quote, the salesman is likely to do
an appraisal on your vehicle and ring you back.

MT79 my days as a used car wheeler deeler are numbered.

Yeah, just bring your car up to the school oval across the road from Elizabeth Oval-preferrably at about sunset-and we should be able to give you an accurate representation of the worth of your fine chariot. By the way, does it have mags with locknuts, or just hubcaps? Just for appraisal purposes, of course!
