Was having a look around the Discovery Home and Leisure site and found a link to Chimpy-Chompy's site, www.wheelerdealer.com. There is feature that calculates what your newish car is roughly worth, probably nabbed from somewhere else but interesting still... www.wheelerdealer.com/capvalue.aspHe reckons about £1200 for my Audi, 'sbout right for a scruffy one.

Oh! chimpy chompy is such a knowledgeable man. According to his "guide", my Bimmer is worth £241. WTF? Any one else getting spurious results from the horse-manure-spouting-one? EDIT: Put in the details for our Astra.... according to FAT FACE KNOW IT ALL MIKE that's worth £2850..... If I slapped that on the 'Bay today, all MOT'd up, gleaming and with fsh I'd be lucky get £1500 in me pocket. Brewer=curse word. FACT.

The thing with the Wheeler Dealers is he buys a car and gets his Mechanic to do loads of work on it.
The cheapest Mechanics are over £30 per hour so there cant be much profit if the mechanic spends 2 days doing the car up!

Who else thinks NickB should have a show on C4 about buying everything with wheels on eBay, getting it past the wife and making a few pennies from it?

Twosser doesn't even list my car, so I went for the next nearest model and discovered I paid £120 over the odds! I'm devastated and have torn down all the Mike Brewer posters from my bedroom wall. The tattoo on my will be harder to shift though......

what a chimpy chompy -face my cars (current and ex) cars are as follows... Polo G40, 1991, 130k Monkeyface says £360 - bet the guy that snapped my hand off for £1350 is gutted! What a muppet. should have watched more TV. Audi 90 Quattro,1991, 120k Arsehead doesn't even list it but an 80 Quattro of the same year is £200. WRONG! I got £550 for one with a knackered clutch and big dents in it. Scirocco Storm, 1984 Too old to list but plank-features says that a 1987 Scala is worth about £40. IDIOT. 1996 Mondeo Verona, very tidy nick but 160k You can buy 'em in trader for £750-£900 depending on mileage. Chimpboy says it's worth £0- that's right folks, Zero Pounds. I can't see where this guy makes money flogging cars for this price!

The Mrs is selling her '97 VW Polo with 95k on it, and we're not even getting any phone calls with the price at £1,950. Imagine my delight at Mr Brewer telling me it's worth £3,551!
Apparently my Sierra 2.0GLX is worth £19. That makes two huge exaggerations then Mikeyboy!

thought i'd test him... Your car SKODA ESTELLE COUPE 136 Rapid 2dr Year 1990 - G Condition Retail £250 (Mileage : 2000) oh ok then...if you say so mate...coz a Rapid with 1,900miles on the clock didn't just sell for £4,000 that was after he valued my car at £0! he has always been against old skodas tho...anyone remember that episode of 'deals on wheels' that they had the rapid on? he made it sound like the worst car ever made, forgot the fact that it handles perfectly and is quick considering it's power...

... the only injury I sustained was a bumped head when I let the seatbelt of without realizing the car was upside down and that's not really the car's fault.
