How cap hpi and Glass's work today
cap hpi and Glass's Guide have been the UK trade pricing standard for decades, and many lenders, auction houses and dealer groups still quote their figures. Both now sell live products: cap hpi's Black Book plans add live in-month trade values from the Extra plan, and Glass's Guide (now part of J.D. Power) offers live retail pricing.
Retail values come only with cap hpi's Ultimate plan, which costs £249.29 a month including VAT (or £2,719.58 for the year) on a 12-month contract for one user, with 150 registration lookups a year and no history checks. Cheaper plans start at £105.16 a month including VAT for trade values only. Glass's Guide is sold through a sales team and does not publish a price.
Where DealerPricing fits
DealerPricing values every car from the live UK market: cars for sale now and cars that have recently sold, with how quickly that model sells. Every plan includes retail values, 100 registration searches a month and history checks at £2.50 each, and you pay month to month.
If a lender or auction house asks for Black Book or Glass's figures, you still need their product. Many traders use DealerPricing to decide what to pay and how to price, and keep a guide subscription only if their finance or auction work needs it.
