How much is my BMW 520d worth?

Hi. I have a 2008 BMW 520d Business Edition with a leather interior and 75,000 miles on the clock in immaculate condition. I am looking at maybe trading it in for one-year old 320d saloon with similar specs for around €21,000 or €22,000. How much do you think that I could get as a trade-in?

Thanks very much for replying to those at the mercy of unscrupulous car sellers. As a rule how do we know how much a trade-in is worth?

Which small car suits our €10,000 budget?

We need a small family run around. We have between €5,000 and €10,000 to spend. My eldest daughter will be turning 17 soon and will be learning to drive, so this will be a factor as well. It will be 90% city driving.
