How long is a car valuation valid for?

Online instant valuations from Dicksons reflect current market conditions and should be used as immediate guides only, as values can fluctuate with market demand. Formal written valuations provided after physical inspection at our Inverness showroom are typically valid for seven days, giving you time to consider your options without pressure.

If you're planning to sell or part-exchange in the future, we recommend obtaining a fresh valuation closer to your intended transaction date to ensure accuracy based on current market conditions. The Highland used car market can vary seasonally, affecting values particularly around registration plate changes in March and September.
