I took my Ford Kuga Vignale to WBAC. It was three years old, in mint condition and they offered me £500 less than online. I told them to stick it and did a part exchange. Online Part exchange offered me £2000 more than I paid for it 18 months ago (during the chip shortage). I exchanged the car at Leeds service station on the A1M. Both parties did an inspection and the deal was done. The buying garage contacted me two days later to let me know the car was even better than the photographs I'd sent, so much for WBAC. The guy who inspects the vehicle earns his commission by knocking down the price offered online! Wouldn't touch them with a barge-pole!!!
£249 for that Zafira. That’s scrap value and a complete insult over a well maintained example. We Buy any Car are absolute con merchants praying on the desperate.
WBAC are not the only people doing this. My daughter had a Fiat 500 with absolutely no faults. She wanted a Mini Cooper, so went to the BMW Mini website and got a quote of what they would offer. Came back with £4.5k which was a good offer. Went to the dealer, picked a car and started negotiations. Sales manager offered £2.3k . So we said not enough and left. The following day my daughter got a call from the dealership offering £4.25k . She didn't really want to deal with them, but the Mini on offer was a really good low mileage one. So she ended up getting the car she wanted and a proper trade-in price for her Fiat. Sadly, I think most franchised dealers do the same. And then they get upset when people call them stealers.
What I like to do when they offer me a ridiculous price is to act dumb and comment along the lines of...wow I thought it was worth much less... Then I say I will think about it though.
Traders have always done this, I worked in the trade for a while in the mid 80s (VW Audi) and the salesmen would always tell the customer that their car was crap and no one wanted them anymore, in fact they were doing you a huge favour taking it off your hands. Funny that I don't remember anyone asking why the same model as theirs was sitting on the forecourt for double what they'd just been offered? I actually experienced this myself in 1989, the only new car I've ever bought was a Peugeot 309GTI, Stunning car which, as far as I remember, cost just South of 14 grand. The main dealer loved it and every time I went there told me that if I ever wanted to sell it they wanted it. I bought it in August 88 when F registration came out but by June the following year my work had dropped off and my mortgage had gone up so I reluctantly decided to sell it. The main dealer had a lower spec one a year older for £8995 with double the mileage mine had so I had a figure of at least 10 grand in mind, hopefully closer to 11? Imagine how happy I was when after taking for a 40 mile blast around the fenland countryside and spending the best part of an hour telling me that mine was the best example in the country and he would love it himself he offered me £4500! I genuinely couldn't speak, I just got in the car and left. I actually sold it a couple of weeks later in the auto trader for 10 grand!
We Buy A Car are a con. My car is 5 years old 25,000miles, I’m the second owner, my Father being the first. Full Service History, 11 month MOT no advisories. No Damage. I was offered on line £17,500. On arrival they kept me waiting over an hour, from my appointment time. Then had the cheek to offer me £13,195. A reduction of £4,305, approximately 25% less. I think the guy was taking the P£&$. So I’ve decided to keep it.
Their very name is a lie. I had a Saab 9-5 with around 200,000 miles on it. Knew it wasn't worth very much, but for a laugh, thought I'd put its registration into their website. I expected a lowball offer of maybe £100. Instead they said they wouldn't buy it due to its age. So they should be done for false advertising, and made to change their name, to put "nearly" before "any". The Saab in question then lasted another 30,000 miles before it failed the MOT and became uneconomic to repair.
Had my car valued at a garage and they offered £15650 as it was as perfect as could be expected for the year. As WBAC had quoted £15850 I booked with them. The rep looked at the car trying to fault it and was struggling. He put into his computer "very small stone chips" and the quote came back at £14200. No chance, absolute rip off merchants
I'm going to defend WBAC here. My car had an unfixable electrical fault that was intermittent. The MOT had run out and wouldn't pass another without a fair bit of work done. In short. I had to off load the car while the electrics still worked. WBAC was the solution. I off loaded the car within hours. Yes. I did get abject Peanuts for it. However. WBAC now have an unsaleable lemon. The joke's on them!
Yep I did exactly the same. I had an intermittent airbag warning light which I could fix for a few weeks but then it would come back on again. Main dealer couldn't even fix it. My local auto electrician told me a new wiring loom would be the solution. Aircon also had a fault but would only be apparent if the car had been running for over an hour. I needed to keep the car until the last minute before I emigrated. I offloaded on a Friday to WBAC & left the country the following Monday. Im sure I got more than it was really worth.
I sold a car with an intermittent fault that a diesel specialist and another garage said would require the whole engine stripped and even then they couldn't guarantee the end result. I was moving it and it started and ran normal. I phoned we buy any car made an appointment and flogged it to them. I had to park and turn off the car so when the appraiser jumped in and I started the car, I was panicking the fault would come back as usual. It didn't and when back in the office when the guy started knocking the price down I felt less guilty 😂
WBAC and certain others are a source of Cars for the main Auction Houses.. As previously stated they buy the car by making an online offer based on a fixed software formula .. The appraiser inspecting the car is encouraged (bonus incentive) to get the quote down as much as possible. Car goes to Auction where it will have a reserve of at least 40% more than it owes them.. The Zafira would probably go for £750 min at auction plus fees ..
I think WBAK are useful if you just want rid of a car quickly. When I sold mine to them I could have got more but just didn't want the hastle (it was a 20 year old car).
i am now retired after 50 yrs selling cars,i started with marinas and allegros.i found your video fabulous,even now,there are more unscrupulous people in the motor trade,i did very well by being honest until i realised i had no company car,i am now running around in a ka,and would dearly love that estate,i am going to share your eye opening video with pleasure.
In 2023 I took a FSH 2017 Mini Cooper s 21k miles convertible to wbac. I checked the various sites and the prices ranged online from £7500 to just under £11000. Wbac online offered £10400. I took it in and walked out with £10250. I accepted and was ok with the price. I could not complain.
Putting my name in the hat for the Zafira. My wife, 1 year old an I are a young family struggling in our i20. I'm 6ft4 and the baby definitely has my height genes so us 3 and her car seat is crazy tight. It's part of the reason for us not considering a 2nd at the moment! We'd love this to take longer trips as a family without having a tiny person kicking my in the back!
As BCA and WBAC are part of the same company what happens is ( a friend told me this) is that the WBAC people actually bid on the cars they put through BCA which inflates the eventual sale price at the auction. Who would have thought?!?!?!
Yes, BCA are parent company as with many other buying ones. Worked for BCA once, terrible to work for with low wages,had no interest in their employees. Couldn't wait to leave fast enough.
We took my son's car to We Buy Any Car after being quoted £1800 online. Went to the office and was immediately offered £900...the guy hadn't even got up to look at the car before undercutting the online price by 50%! Shocking.
@@themadcoachman I know what cars are worth , if that’s what you are insinuating, I,ve been in the motor trade for 45 years , and the reason for selling it is my business
I would snap your hands off right now for that zafira. Had 2 cars, one got written off due to a no fault collision. Can't afford another because we've got some finance to pay off. And we all can't fit in my wife's clio. Got 3 kids 5, 2 and 11week old 😂 Fantastic video once again.
A couple of years ago.... Suzuki Splash 2009. Had it for years. Full MOT with a couple of advisories. Low mileage. Offered £500 provisionally by WBAC. 120 mile round trip to 'check it out'. Sold it eBay for £1000.
Refreshing approach to car dealing, and good on you guys for paying more realistic prices than the vultures wanting to reduce the initial online price given. Look forward to watching more ‘rescues’. Subscribed.
If prepping the roof and painting is too much how about a wrap? A nice black wrap would look ok and as it's just one big piece without any fiddly bits it should be pretty easy.
I love the fact that WBAC and all the dealers now charge the customer for their admin fees! Everyone knows it's just extra bunce for these moneygrabbing outfits but, I've no doubt, the usual suspects will soon jump on the bandwagon and the utilities et al will be doing the same thing.
Well done as usual guys, that Zafira would make a fabulous buy for someone especially if they got the roof done. Great looking car and good colour, hope it went well whatever you did with it!.
I'd like to know why no hotshot lawyer or consumer protection organisation has queried the line in the advert which goes like this "... and find out what your car is worth." Shouldn't there be at the very very least the following words added? "... and find out what [WE SAY] your car is worth" As stated, it's not just one company at it. Since the dawn of time we all know that insurance companies have been trying it on. Then of course there's the kick 'em when they're down disgrace that the smiley helpful sounding Can't sell your house? Relax! We'll take it off your hands property brokers whose adverts don't seem to be on anymore. Not since it was made known that, yes they'd buy your house. But for less than half its market value. 40% was the average amount apparently. What a world we find ourselves in!
I've had 2 experiences with WBAC, and they've both been positive. As long as you are honest with the description of dents and condition etc then you will get the price they've quoted (well I have anyway). It does state in their t and c's about admin charge. Never had a problem and both prices have been what other dealers etc offer. The only thing I would question in their advert is the statement of cash is king. It's not, you don't get a discount if going with cash (private buying is different obviously). Dealers want you to take a finance option out and possibly could offer you a little bit more.
My experience of them isn't good. Wanted to sell a Citroen Berlingo with about 110k miles. Website came up with price, visited my local office and they tried to offer me far less. They said it was due to oil appearing on engine. It didn't use much oil between services and none on driveway. In the end my garage steam cleaned engine bay and i sold privately for far more.
Twice now I have got a better price from wbac than what I was offered for either trade-in or a simple sale to the traditional motor trade. Last time I managed to scrape £150 more from a dealer. I look after my cars so wbac actually want to buy them. If you go down there with a heap of crap they won't want it and price it accordingly wbac's online quotes are basically for a showroom condition car so you've got virtually no chance of getting it. It's a stupid model but that's what it is and anyone expecting to get the online quoted price for an older car is just daft !
I was told by a long-standing motor dealer that the sales reps at We Buy Any Car drop the offered price price by £300 per 'defect' and make £50 on each drop, so they obviously find things that aren't really there
I went with Motorway and got a couple of thousand more for my 3yr old Volvo V40 (had to sell it because the manufacturers warranty ran out then. Lovely car but expensive repair bills. I don't see any on the road now). We Rip You Off Buying Your Car are a con with extra charges too.
Some of their staff don’t last long if they get their appraisals wrong. I worked for them for two days before I walked for a proper job. You need to detail every little mark otherwise the price they offer is too close to their internet offer. That’s where they make losses and staff have to go.
They do the same thing here in Australia… they offer you good money online then when u get there they find any reason possible to lower the price down by at least 30% .. plus they keep you waiting for an hour or 2 to try and wear you down.. they say they are trying to find a wholesaler which is all a load of sh!t
That zafira would be what I need good size and height for the wife who's now basically disabled due to long covid as they call it but absolutely amazing what you do to help out your subscribers great work
Traded in my Kia Niro to upgrade to a Sportage. WBAC offered me £19500 online. The local Kia dealer quoted me £23500 and gave me £1500 discount on the new Kia. I use WBAC as a guide to what it isn't worth.
Just been yesterday valuation £6930. We need to take a few hundred off for scratches (fair enough 68 reg Astra 54,000 miles). Full Vauxhall service 4 weeks ago, New Bridgestone tyres last year, Played with computer offered £6100. I went home with my car.
We have an old car but mileage is very low the engine not even run in yet has under 50.0000 on clock. So I think that would make for a better price than it would if the mileage was high.
I would never use We buy any car as they knock you down for silly things , I have the same car by coincidence same year but a 2013 Lounge version which is better as has built in sat nav , AC and the panoramic roof , i was offered only £1800 by We buy any car for mine which has done 85 thousand miles with service history and MOT until end of this year , I went to a rival company called The Car Buying group and they offered me £2 grand exactly after inspection but i decided not to sell at this time as i paid £3 grand for my car only a few months back and paid £400 for new clutch so i may sell privately as i should get minimum £2500 for the car as bodywork is immaculate , no damage to the alloys and no warning lights.
As an ex employee of WBAC what you need to remember it's not really WBAC, BCA pull the strings at WBAC as they own it. The system they use is in a sense is fair, as YOU do get the oppotunity to put your damage in on the website when your after a valuation . No dealer will give you what they say on theyre website as they have no idea of the cars condition. WBAC employees are target driven and paid on how good the accuracy of the inspection they was. they have 15mins to buy your car, yet BCA give the car 1hr inspection once they collect it. So the WBAC guys will put more damage on so they ensure they get they're commission..works like this.... Customer Valuation: £500. WBCA inspection value £250. BCA sell for i.e £600. You can see why BCA are worth Millions....
I tried WBAC a few years ago now with my old Vx Astra F (L plated 94 1.4lsi with 96k) they gave me a quote of £60 and £30 was admin fees LOL I sold the car the day after for £1100...
The only thing that WBAC don't have is; when the "buyer" turns up they should be wearing a domino mask It's a small and (often) rounded mask covering only the area around the eyes and the space between them), (Like the Lone Ranger?), or like REAL BANDITS.
love the zaph . my suzi seen better days . turn it into a micro camper. good show guys . good to see they companies geting a shake up. offered me 400 for my sxa gl. full mot. well used car but thats not right
You do know WBAC are owned by BCA - they do nothing to the cars and they are sold straight away at auction . You seem to be confusing an auction price a part x price and a retail price. WBAC offer the BCA auction bottom estimate based on an algorithm. You wouldn’t pay more than the WBAC price at auction for the Fiat would you ??
Thanks for watching & commenting Adam, you are absolutely correct. But if the car didn’t make more at auction than what WBAC paid for it then what would be the point in their business model?
@@gap9992 That’s correct, and some of the cars that get part exchanged to Cinch get sold at BCA. They organise WBAC sales dependant on the certain factors that the cars may have all branded under UK
I went with my c250 merc 10 years old good condition 80000 miles fsh offered me £5k online got there then they had the cheek to offer me in person£ 1950 fuming I was
They offered me £1850 for a 2009 Audi a4 b8 (monza silver/19 monza wheels)odometer reading 89k amazing condition and service record including original sales invoice and insurance policies which I would would ask £5.5k. Complete scammers and i do believe they are part owned by lookers group
WBAC ripped off my parents on a minty 2 year old Kia Picanto with 2k miles. They knocked a grand off because marke changes. This was ten per cent discount on a box fresh small car
Just randomly stumbled across your video and I’m glad I did. I was just about to say I would offer you a couple of hundred quid ontop of what you paid for the zafira, as my car is on deaths door and I need something cheap and reliable to get me to work, plus maybe do the odd car boot etc on a weekend, and this would be perfect. Great video, subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your vids 👍🏻
The viehcle score promotion is far too long winded, almost 3 minutes. If your going to subject viewers to this on every video people will be switch off. Many pay for youtube premium to avoid ads and won't tolerate 3 minutes of boring waffle.

Unfortunately there are wages/rent/rates/tax/vat/accounting/advertising/insurance/warranty/repairs/electric/water costs…. Thanks for watching & commenting though👍
WBAC are absolute scandalous. Offered me about 120 for my old Clio that they offered 1200 on the website, just marking down everything without taking into account the age of the car. Also putting my name in the hat for the Zafira. Well not for me but my sister. Wanting a cheap runaround for her and the kids, looking for something 500 or under but struggling. This would be ideal.😊
Went to we buy any van for my son with a tired worn out Vauxhall Vivaro they offered £750 online, at the point of sale it came down to £150. Drove away, put it on eBay and sold with no reserve for £750. Same as WBAC, WBAV, all crooks
7800 bid. Went down offered 5,9, went upto 6150 and told me was being looked after. Going up 250. What. Said what was it crabbed on. Said all images go off online he doesn't even know. He just photos it !!!! They bid cap clean online and try pay below below cap! It's the model. They wanna pinch em. And have zero risk when put out BCA.
We buy any car offered me online £7,300 for a 67 plate Citroen That I needed to get rid of, when taken down to them they offered only £5,100 and didn’t even get out of the cabin to look at it, now it wasn’t in perfect condition but it would certainly be classed as in excellent condition, 79k FSH main dealer, two owners high spec car.put it on market place and a dealer reached out and we did a deal at £7,400 and he retailed it fit £9,500, we buy are a joke!
We Steal Every Car are the biggest bunch of shysters it has been my misfortune to encounter, i had to get extremely abusive to get them to understand i would not accept their ridiculous undervaluation and stop harrasing me on the phone

About time these bastards are revealed
WBAC had Phillip Schofield advertising for them...say no more!
Yip when someone said " you can shove that up your arse " he replied " ooooh thats a good idea to kill 20 mins"
Definitely a bum deal then.
"Selling a car to us is unwise...but not illegal"

Refreshing approach to car dealing, and good on you guys for paying more realistic prices than the vultures wanting to reduce the initial online price given. Look forward to watching more ‘rescues’. Subscribed.
Thanks Derek, we pay what we think is a fair price for everyone👌
If prepping the roof and painting is too much how about a wrap? A nice black wrap would look ok and as it's just one big piece without any fiddly bits it should be pretty easy.
Brilliant money saving idea! Thanks for watching & commenting👍
I love the fact that WBAC and all the dealers now charge the customer for their admin fees! Everyone knows it's just extra bunce for these moneygrabbing outfits but, I've no doubt, the usual suspects will soon jump on the bandwagon and the utilities et al will be doing the same thing.
Well done as usual guys, that Zafira would make a fabulous buy for someone especially if they got the roof done. Great looking car and good colour, hope it went well whatever you did with it!.
"reaching out to us"?
Where were they ,in a pond?
What's the problem with traditional terms like "contacted"?
😱
Yes, but it’s a good form factor at that price point… 😮
The associates said so. 😮😮😮
I'd like to know why no hotshot lawyer or consumer protection organisation has queried the line in the advert which goes like this
"... and find out what your car is worth."
Shouldn't there be at the very very least the following words added?
"... and find out what [WE SAY] your car is worth"
As stated, it's not just one company at it. Since the dawn of time we all know that insurance companies have been trying it on.
Then of course there's the kick 'em when they're down disgrace that the smiley helpful sounding Can't sell your house? Relax! We'll take it off your hands property brokers whose adverts don't seem to be on anymore. Not since it was made known that, yes they'd buy your house. But for less than half its market value. 40% was the average amount apparently.
What a world we find ourselves in!
I've had 2 experiences with WBAC, and they've both been positive. As long as you are honest with the description of dents and condition etc then you will get the price they've quoted (well I have anyway). It does state in their t and c's about admin charge. Never had a problem and both prices have been what other dealers etc offer. The only thing I would question in their advert is the statement of cash is king. It's not, you don't get a discount if going with cash (private buying is different obviously). Dealers want you to take a finance option out and possibly could offer you a little bit more.
We con any car!
Dont deal with them. I put my car to them ,they offered me 800 hundred. Refused their offer, sold it privately for 1,700 .
So charisma. Wow. Such magnetise. Intense.
When they inspect your car with a telescope that you can see an ant on the surface of the moon you know its rubbish 😂😂
Same with ENTERPRISE hire car. You bring the car back and it's examined by a smart arse using a large magnifying glass!!!
My experience of them isn't good. Wanted to sell a Citroen Berlingo with about 110k miles. Website came up with price, visited my local office and they tried to offer me far less. They said it was due to oil appearing on engine. It didn't use much oil between services and none on driveway. In the end my garage steam cleaned engine bay and i sold privately for far more.
New to the channel guys I’ve also subscribed. Looking forward to watching more post. Well done guys
Well I've subbed and good luck to all in winning the zafria nice reliable family motor 👌👌👌
Twice now I have got a better price from wbac than what I was offered for either trade-in or a simple sale to the traditional motor trade. Last time I managed to scrape £150 more from a dealer. I look after my cars so wbac actually want to buy them. If you go down there with a heap of crap they won't want it and price it accordingly
wbac's online quotes are basically for a showroom condition car so you've got virtually no chance of getting it. It's a stupid model but that's what it is and anyone expecting to get the online quoted price for an older car is just daft !
That zafira would do me just lovely for picking up veterans who don’t drive to go to our breakfast club ❤ love your channel

I was told by a long-standing motor dealer that the sales reps at We Buy Any Car drop the offered price price by £300 per 'defect' and make £50 on each drop, so they obviously find things that aren't really there
I went with Motorway and got a couple of thousand more for my 3yr old Volvo V40 (had to sell it because the manufacturers warranty ran out then. Lovely car but expensive repair bills. I don't see any on the road now).
We Rip You Off Buying Your Car are a con with extra charges too.
Great video. I have just Liked and Subscribed.
Some of their staff don’t last long if they get their appraisals wrong. I worked for them for two days before I walked for a proper job. You need to detail every little mark otherwise the price they offer is too close to their internet offer. That’s where they make losses and staff have to go.
Best of luck with 10k subscribers in 2 weeks.
We may have to rethink the timescale Bill. Perhaps a little optimistic!🙈
@@weflipcarsUK Optimism not pessimism is a necessary prerequisite for success and gives you the incentive to achieve👍👍👍👍
How about 5k in a month 🤔
They do the same thing here in Australia… they offer you good money online then when u get there they find any reason possible to lower the price down by at least 30% .. plus they keep you waiting for an hour or 2 to try and wear you down.. they say they are trying to find a wholesaler which is all a load of sh!t
That zafira would be what I need good size and height for the wife who's now basically disabled due to long covid as they call it but absolutely amazing what you do to help out your subscribers great work

These two remind me of Pete and Dud
Traded in my Kia Niro to upgrade to a Sportage. WBAC offered me £19500 online. The local Kia dealer quoted me £23500 and gave me £1500 discount on the new Kia. I use WBAC as a guide to what it isn't worth.
Just been yesterday valuation £6930. We need to take a few hundred off for scratches (fair enough 68 reg Astra 54,000 miles). Full Vauxhall service 4 weeks ago, New Bridgestone tyres last year, Played with computer offered £6100. I went home with my car.
If you have the time you could try selling it privately, or give your local independent dealer a try.
Good luck & thanks for watching🙏
We have an old car but mileage is very low the engine not even run in yet has under 50.0000 on clock. So I think that would make for a better price than it would if the mileage was high.
I would never use We buy any car as they knock you down for silly things , I have the same car by coincidence same year but a 2013 Lounge version which is better as has built in sat nav , AC and the panoramic roof , i was offered only £1800 by We buy any car for mine which has done 85 thousand miles with service history and MOT until end of this year , I went to a rival company called The Car Buying group and they offered me £2 grand exactly after inspection but i decided not to sell at this time as i paid £3 grand for my car only a few months back and paid £400 for new clutch so i may sell privately as i should get minimum £2500 for the car as bodywork is immaculate , no damage to the alloys and no warning lights.
249 😆 They could have got that by removing the CAT and the battery and weighing the car in as scrap!
Good video lads, exposing the con artists
As an ex employee of WBAC what you need to remember it's not really WBAC, BCA pull the strings at WBAC as they own it. The system they use is in a sense is fair, as YOU do get the oppotunity to put your damage in on the website when your after a valuation . No dealer will give you what they say on theyre website as they have no idea of the cars condition.
WBAC employees are target driven and paid on how good the accuracy of the inspection they was. they have 15mins to buy your car, yet BCA give the car 1hr inspection once they collect it.
So the WBAC guys will put more damage on so they ensure they get they're commission..works like this.... Customer Valuation: £500. WBCA inspection value £250. BCA sell for i.e £600.
You can see why BCA are worth Millions....
I tried WBAC a few years ago now with my old Vx Astra F (L plated 94 1.4lsi with 96k) they gave me a quote of £60 and £30 was admin fees LOL I sold the car the day after for £1100...
Years ago WBA’s offered me £300 for my renault, sold it three days later for £999
Love that👏
It would be more interesting to see you put your price in before you know the WBAC offer. It is always easier to chase up a known price a little bit.
You’re absolutely right. We did have our prices in mind before the we buy any car offers, maybe we should have revealed them beforehand as you say👍
The only thing that WBAC don't have is; when the "buyer" turns up they should be wearing a domino mask It's a small and (often) rounded mask covering only the area around the eyes and the space between them), (Like the Lone Ranger?), or like REAL BANDITS.
Great work guys , helping people out especially at this time , and as for the zafira giveaway let me know when and how to enter , 😊

I owned a DBX707 and it had 12 miles on the clock full tank of fuel 12 months mot brand new it was and all I got was £23.00, robbing gits.
WBAC offered me £50 for my mint 2006 Subaru Impreza 2.0r sport with 33k on the clock. Held this car since 2008 and is my baby.
You do know WBAC are owned by BCA - they do nothing to the cars and they are sold straight away at auction . You seem to be confusing an auction price a part x price and a retail price. WBAC offer the BCA auction bottom estimate based on an algorithm. You wouldn’t pay more than the WBAC price at auction for the Fiat would you ??
Thanks for watching & commenting Adam, you are absolutely correct. But if the car didn’t make more at auction than what WBAC paid for it then what would be the point in their business model?
Buyers fees are still profits. I said similar 11 hours ago
I thought the better ones went to Cinch? Also part of the same group
@@gap9992
That’s correct, and some of the cars that get part exchanged to Cinch get sold at BCA.
They organise WBAC sales dependant on the certain factors that the cars may have all branded under UK
I went with my c250 merc 10 years old good condition 80000 miles fsh offered me £5k online got there then they had the cheek to offer me in person£ 1950 fuming I was
Thats called the con real you in ... Which is what they do all the time .. absolutely rip off merchants
They offered me £1850 for a 2009 Audi a4 b8 (monza silver/19 monza wheels)odometer reading 89k amazing condition and service record including original sales invoice and insurance policies which I would would ask £5.5k.
Complete scammers and i do believe they are part owned by lookers group
Had two zafiras in the past . This would be ideal… nobody sees the roof !!
They called!!! We steal any car!!😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂
WBAC ripped off my parents on a minty 2 year old Kia Picanto with 2k miles. They knocked a grand off because marke changes. This was ten per cent discount on a box fresh small car
We buy any car has always been a rip off
Down my way there was a flash jaguar ftype v8 in white brought by we buy any car i was shocked
Guys , drop the "Reached Out To Us". Whats wrong with "contacted " ? Love the show all the same
Just randomly stumbled across your video and I’m glad I did. I was just about to say I would offer you a couple of hundred quid ontop of what you paid for the zafira, as my car is on deaths door and I need something cheap and reliable to get me to work, plus maybe do the odd car boot etc on a weekend, and this would be perfect. Great video, subscribed and looking forward to watching more of your vids 👍🏻

Nice Zafira. Subscribed!
we buy any car is scum
U no it 😂😂
Many other four letter words as well.
The viehcle score promotion is far too long winded, almost 3 minutes. If your going to subject viewers to this on every video people will be switch off. Many pay for youtube premium to avoid ads and won't tolerate 3 minutes of boring waffle.
It won’t be anywhere near as long every time, just wanted to go in depth as it’s the first time we have explained about vehicle check. Thanks for watching & commenting👍
the mark up on what you pay and sell for is insane but literally EVERY business does this - why can't everyone just sell stuff for a reasonable price?
Unfortunately there are wages/rent/rates/tax/vat/accounting/advertising/insurance/warranty/repairs/electric/water costs….
Thanks for watching & commenting though👍
They would not buy my car, said it was worthless and even laughed. Sold it privately for £650 pounds.
Great channel brilliant honest information within your show ❤
Appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching👍
You got the fiat cheap lower than we buy quoted first who is conning who?
WBAC are absolute scandalous. Offered me about 120 for my old Clio that they offered 1200 on the website, just marking down everything without taking into account the age of the car.
Also putting my name in the hat for the Zafira. Well not for me but my sister. Wanting a cheap runaround for her and the kids, looking for something 500 or under but struggling. This would be ideal.😊
I would have that Zafira for £1k if it had a little bit of a stronger engine. It would become my workhorse
My Lamborghini 2024 is worth £ 120000 ,they offered me £120000 ! I said ok .
would love the zafira for camping in.
Very naughty to show the full name and address on the V5C for that Fiat 500. In breach of Data Protection I feel.
Liars, sold our meriva as scrap, offer was 600 but on the day it was only 300 because of some scratches. Payed 300 for new exhaust 9 months earlier.
"getting cheaper insurance" new Email address? how does that work?
Man my son is 22 moving house 1st car u could make his dream come true new house new car !!!
I put my Toyota Previa into their website. They didn't want to buy it.
Went to we buy any van for my son with a tired worn out Vauxhall Vivaro they offered £750 online, at the point of sale it came down to £150. Drove away, put it on eBay and sold with no reserve for £750. Same as WBAC, WBAV, all crooks
Fingers crossed, subscribed too
7800 bid. Went down offered 5,9, went upto 6150 and told me was being looked after. Going up 250. What. Said what was it crabbed on. Said all images go off online he doesn't even know. He just photos it !!!! They bid cap clean online and try pay below below cap! It's the model. They wanna pinch em. And have zero risk when put out BCA.
I stitched them up big style with a car that was going to cost more to find the problem than put it right……😂
😂😂😂 brilliant @@metalmicky
We buy any car offered me online £7,300 for a 67 plate Citroen That I needed to get rid of, when taken down to them they offered only £5,100 and didn’t even get out of the cabin to look at it, now it wasn’t in perfect condition but it would certainly be classed as in excellent condition, 79k FSH main dealer, two owners high spec car.put it on market place and a dealer reached out and we did a deal at £7,400 and he retailed it fit £9,500, we buy are a joke!
18yr old car with one owner guy selling it had it 12yrs hows thats work then ???
We Steal Every Car are the biggest bunch of shysters it has been my misfortune to encounter, i had to get extremely abusive to get them to understand i would not accept their ridiculous undervaluation and stop harrasing me on the phone
Never a excuse for abuse
Don't waste time even contacting them..crap offer followed by multiple emails chasing you for the next couple of weeks.. they're a bad joke.
Kindest regards. Great video.👍
