See what the listing doesn't tell you.

The listing shows the car. Torq shows the market around it: price position, time advertised, previous reductions and comparable stock.

More than a valuation.

Every answer follows the same shape: your question, Torq's conclusion, then the evidence behind it.

COMPARE

Which of these two?

TORQ'S PICK

I'd start with Car B.
It's £1,100 stronger against its market and has 12,000 fewer miles, for £500 more up front.What would change the answer? If Car A drops another £600.

ASK

Which version?

330i or 330e?
£2,300current gap in median asking price, 330e above 330i
2.1×more 330e examples currently advertised
The 330e is the plug-in hybrid: cheaper company-car tax, but you need somewhere to charge it. Torq can then show real examples of both, advertised now.
WATCH

What Torq knows — and what it doesn't.

Torq works from advertised market information. It will tell you when there isn't enough evidence to answer.

Torq can tell you

  • How the asking price compares with comparable cars advertised now
  • How long a listing has been observed
  • Recorded advertised price changes
  • Comparable cars currently on the market
  • Market differences between variants and generations
  • Available MOT information

Torq won't pretend to know

  • The final price a buyer and dealer will agree
  • Why a dealer changed a price
  • Facts that cannot be confirmed from the available data
  • Whether a dealer gives good service, unless reliable evidence exists
  • A market position when there are too few comparable cars
Prices are advertised asking prices. Asking price and eventual sale price are not the same thing. Torq gives market information: it does not sell cars, arrange finance or guarantee a price.
