Many similar questions have been asked many times, charge what you think it is worth and what you think you are worth.

It is pointless asking, as you will end up with 200 different answers and a thread that answers nothing.

Price each outside window at 75p...£1.00 for inside...£80.00 for the car park...assuming  the glass outside is done with a pole.....well, without actually seeing the job...that's off the top of my head.....41 windows outside   go for about £35 - £40.....mind you, depends on where the job is...(aka...north or south)....but that's about what we get away with in the midlands, generally.....looks like about an hour and a half's work.....plus the car park and inside...

Dunno really. What did the guy say when you quoted him? If you could do the lot in one day I'd say OK, but if you have to go back the next day (unless you really need it) I'd say no way!
It's a game of three halves!

Never price blind your end up losing out.

Price would depend on how much dirt to remove and how long it would take.

Most decent self employed domestic cleaners are working in the £10 - £15 ph bracket, so if you take £20 off to clean the windows, you're left with £140 to pay a cleaner to go in and do her bit, 2-3 hours max (£45) leave you £95 or so profit, that's ok.
