What are my Toyotas worth on trade-in?

What trade-in value would I get for a 2008 Toyota Avensis petrol with low mileage? Also would a garage take two trade in cars, against the purchase of one new car? If so would you give me the approximate value of a 2008 Toyota RAV4 with petrol, low mileage too?

Hi Barbara,

It is always hard to give a proper price estimate on a car without knowing the mileage and condition but you should expect to be offered around €12,000 for the Avensis depending on the condition and the dealer you go to.

The RAV4 would probably be worth around €14,500 as a trade-in. It is not unheard of for two cars to be traded-in, but you generally have to find a pretty understanding dealer or one who really wants the cars you have to trade-in. Remember that a dealer has to service your trade-in, perhaps put new tyres on it and add a warranty, so this all adds cost. 

I hope this helps.
