How the check works
- 1
Find the same cars
The same model for sale on Garisea today, made within a year or so of yours, and the same trim when there are enough of them.
- 2
Find the typical range
The middle half of their asking prices: the range most of these cars sell within.
- 3
Place your price
Below that range is a great price, inside it fair, above it higher than typical.

Questions people ask
- How do you decide if a car's price is fair?
- We compare the price with what the same model, made within a year or so of yours, is asking on Garisea right now, and with the same trim when there are enough of them. Below the typical range reads 'Great price', inside it 'Fair price', above it 'Above typical'.
- Does it work for a car I saw on another site, on social media or at a yard?
- Yes. The car doesn't need to be on Garisea: enter its model, year and the price you were quoted, and it's compared with the cars for sale here.
- Why add the trim?
- A top trim can be worth noticeably more than a base one of the same year. If you know it (it's often on the boot or in the advert), adding it compares like with like. If there aren't enough of that trim on sale, the check uses every trim instead.
- Why does it say there isn't enough data?
- We only give a verdict when enough of the same cars are for sale to make it meaningful. Try a year either side, or check back soon.
- What else should I check before paying?
- Mileage, condition, accident history, the logbook and whether duty has been paid all move a price. Inspect the car, run an NTSA search on the logbook and never pay before seeing it.
