If the estate is likely to breach the iht limit then maybe you have to value with some care but if you have headroom then I would simply use advertised prices from magazine of maybe 3 similar cars. No point in paying a dealer to value unless you have to. Even then I would be inclined simply to ask them to make an offer for the car which they will do for rather than ask for a valuation for probate.
