Default Anyone have access to a Glass's Guide?

Can someone with a GG please tell me what my car is worth as a trade in at a Scooby Specialist.

1997 R Registered Subaru Impreza GL Wagon (UK Model) 94k miles, Manual, Bodywork not the greatest

Yes I know what Parkers say but I would prefer a GG valuation according to the guide

PM if you want

In my experience for you to trade it in, it's probably worth a paper hat and a bag of peanuts. By the time they sell it on it will be worth £7k. Glass's and CAP are so heavilly weighted in the traders favour they are a joke. Obviously traders have to turn a profit on each vehicle they sell, but the disparity between trade-in and retail values is getting ridiculous, but as traders pay for the guides they are bound to be done to keep them smiling. As an example, I recently visited a few dealers for a value on changing my car. I armed myself with several examples of similar cars being sold trade locally for £13-14k. The worst offer was £8.3k I don't mind them making profit, but the amount they want to make nowadays is beyond funny. If they'd said £10.5-11.5k I would have been agreeable, as it was the guy would have been through his plate glass window if my G/F hadn't been holding my leash.

Agree 100%. My wifes Honda CRV goes for around 11k on the honda forecourt.
Best they'd give me was 8k, and that was a after lots of humming and ahhing.
Eventually told them thanks, but no thanks.
