Yes its definately because they want to see the state of the car - found that one out with a friend who was selling his car and he asked the garage for a price.
Our version of mint may not be theirs - and they don't want the hassle of saying a price that we would class as VGC and then have a possible argument when they see the car and they class it as ok condition, subsequently offering £500 less.
Some obviously will over the phone, but tbh if I had my garage I would need to see the state of the car before I gave a price. Just the same as most people would not buy a car before they had a good look at it!

i totally agree with you. but when i was saying to them, i understand you cant give me an exact quote and im just after a generally ball park figure, they still wouldnt :-O now i think thats just down right selfish!! 
I concur, then be prepared for the dealers to offer you a disgusting pittance instead.
Private sale every time if you can get one.

They should be able to at least give your a rough idea what it would be. I work for a dealership and they can CAP or GLASS a vehicle basing it on below average, average or good. Just asking them to give you the average figure least it gives you a figure to work off. But to be honest i would always sell privately
at first i thought of parkers and thought, "nah they wont give me nowhere near that" and the reason i dont want to sell privately is because my car is on finance, and if i can get one from the place i had mine from then i could get them some extra cash and continue paying off the finance without the hassle of getting a loan

I think i am right in thinking that as soon as you sell your car you have to pay off the finance on the vehicle straight away even if you part ex

how can the dealers give you a price if you don't tell them what car you want to buy? If they have a car that has been in stock a while they are more likely to give you more for your car against that one. So you will find your price will vary depending on what car you are looking at nothing shady about that
p.s my boyfriend was a salesman for seat for two years
I think you do if the loan is secured on the car. Dealers will do this for you as part of the deal, as they couldn't accept a car that you technically don't own.

you car ( your pride n joy) should be worth what its worth , no wonder folk get miffed, but one way around it is what ever they knock of yours just knock off theirs, they dont like it back at em.
Try this:

It gives you trade prices, but not retail unfortunately. Its Glass's though which is what all traders use.
Dont use Parkers, 99% of the time its wrong! Dealers use Glass's and CAP, as mentioned above.
