Trade ins and valuations:
IFS VALUATIONS The valuation figure using Glass's Guide Evaluator is designed to give you a basic idea of your used vehicle value. It does not confirm that you will get that figure for your vehicle and the amount quoted should be used as a guide only. The final decision on the valuation will be made by IFS, once they have inspected the vehicle and to avoid errors or misunderstandings you are advised to be brutally honest with your appraisal and description. The vehicles covered by the IFS valuation service, shall be vehicles introduced into the UK market during the last 9 years, and will exclude vehicles under six months old or outside the age and mileage ranges, some specialist or limited edition vehicles, rare vehicles or those in short supply will also not have a value. All valuations given are based on a single transaction in regard to the acquisition of a different vehicle from IFS, values are not cash values, replacement prices, private sales values or insurance settlements and therefore must not be used for any other valuation purposes. IFS may wish to adjust the figure depending on the vehicle's actual mileage and condition when examined. Also different factors such as regional variations, sales promotions, mileage, desirability, model-life cycles and colour will have an effect. The figures quoted are based on three condition descriptions.
EXCELLENT CONDITION Ready for retail sale; mechanically perfect, paintwork unblemished for vehicle under two years old, but may have very slight stone damage on vehicle over two years old or with high mileage. Interior should be immaculate. A full service history must be provided. All equipment fitted should be fully operational. Tyres should be new or nearly new, wheels and trims clean and undamaged.
AVERAGE CONDITION Some wear and tear to mechanical parts may be expected. Some minor repair might be required to the paintwork, although there should be no serious damage requiring replacement bodywork. The car will be of generally tidy appearance inside and out but some expenditure may be required for retail sale. A full service history must be provided. All equipment fitted should be fully operational. Tyres should not be more than half-worn. Wheels and trims should be in good condition.
BELOW AVERAGE CONDITION Requires mechanical repair or some repair to bodywork. The interior may be worn and seats may have marks. Some corrosion, damage or poorly repaired paintwork may need attention. The car may not have a full service history and would not be offered for retail sale without significant expenditure.
