The Main Price Guide by model is again extremely detailed and useful. It provides information on road test verdicts, a history of the model, as well as prices. There are also some great tips on what to check for, e.g., front tyre wear on high mileage cars ...
Advantages: Can find you a real bargain Disadvantages: Pricey, only published monthly.
When I was buying a used car I was almost %100 relying on this magazine to steer me into finding a good deal, “ more car for your money”. As I was using older cars I was going by the older cars ParkersGuide that my opinion is going to be based on today.

Ciao members have rated this review on average: very helpful Review of Parkerīs Guide
Advantages: Easy to use. Disadvantages: Some editions not listed.

The publication is available at every book shop, newsagents, and pretty much every supermarket. It is not quite as accurate as the professionals Glasses or CAP guide, but for us mere mortals it is just the job. Have a crafty free view at your local magazine shop!
