...that don't ask for your name, address, phone number and bank details?

Thanks

All these people want your email addy all the time, and it's getting super difficult to say no

Better get a hotmail to throw them off with

You could put dummy data in if you want. I've never put my real phone number in.
Email addy should be fine though, just put stuff in the junk folder if you don't want the chasers but you can get temporary email addresses if you want one that self distructs after a few minutes.

I've used What Car? and Glass's Guide websites for valuations. They will both require e-mail/contact details.

I was called back by the What Car? service to give feedback but they were polite and friendly.

Glass's offer two options, one is free the other (£7 for 3) includes an adjustment for options and mileage.

They make dealer prices anywhere between £500 to £2500 over book but I've not tried my hand at negotiation yet.

Just set up a hotmail account for the sole use of the valuation.

WBAC will send regular emails but it's not an excessive number.

If you put a random email address you'll still be given the valuation.

Disposable email addresses are the way forward!

Guerrillamail is a personal favourite.

Just look at classified ads for similar cars. Preferably find a few then figure an average. Knock it down a little to go from the asking price to the true value.
