How We Price
Transparent, Fair, and Built for Dealers
At Midlands Car Market, we believe dealerships deserve honest, fast, and final offers – not guesswork, delays, or auction-style games.
This page explains exactly how we price vehicles, what drives values up or down, and how we compare to other disposal options.
Whether it’s one problem PX or 30 end-of-month units, you’ll know where you stand.

Lifetime Cost vs Immediate Exit
Holding costs aren’t just stocking fees. You’re burning:
- Floorplan interest
- Staff chasing dead leads
- Lost sales on better cars
Every week costs you margin. We help you recover it - fast.
Market Trends (Updated Quarterly)
- Diesel values falling faster than petrol
- Late plate PXs with missing keys are common - we still take them
- EVs remain volatile - we’ll give you realistic options
- Cancelled finance cars? We love them
