How do I get the original value of my Golf for BIK?

Hi, I am wondering would you know a way of finding the original market value of a car? I.e. a 2007 Volkswagen Golf 1.4 Comfortline for BIK purposes.

Thank you.

Hi Fiona,

The Society of the Irish Motor Industry (SIMI) keeps an online archive of its recommend retail price lists dating back as far as 2004 and you can find them here:  http://www.simi.ie/Statistics/Recommended+Price+Guides.html

Your Golf cost €22,620 by the way. Mind you, that's without options, which would have an effect on the price. The only way to find the options inclusive price would be to go back to the dealer that originally sold the car and see if they have a copy of the original bill of sale.
