British public shocked by real values of their cars

'I'm rich'

Motorway teamed up with JOE to hit the streets and ask the British public to see if they truly knew how much their cars were worth.

By using the Motorway website, the public simply typed in their registration number to find out the valuation in seconds.

One person estimated their car would be worth £15,000 only to find out that it was in fact worth more than £20,000.

"I'm shocked, very bloody shocked. I can't believe that," claimed the customer.

"Oh I'm rich," joked another.

"I didn't expect over £9,000," said a third.

In fact, everybody we asked undervalued their car, showing how much extra money you could be missing out on if don't sell your car the more money way.

"I'd say holiday definitely," revealed one customer.

A second said: "I would actually go and buy a bigger house.

"I'm actually looking to move to London at the minute so I could probably go and put a deposit on a flat."

A fourth joked: "I'd have to spend it on my three kids otherwise I don't think I'd hear the end of it."
