PRO Tip if you only got 1 key, just find an old car key to add they dont check.
Hi Tony, that is a great idea. One can always claim ignorance should they check. What a great and obvious idea!!!
WE buy any car is owed by the auction house BCA so they have all the data to have a monopoly in the car sales business.
And Cinch is in the mix
Do not waste your time they are con artists. The drop in price they offer is crazy.
They are BCA (British Car Auctions) you’ve basically asked an auctioneer to buy your car (and give the auctioneer a margin)
That’s right. It’s still amazing how they give such high prices in some cases though.
We buy any car is false advertising. I put my car in the website and it came back that it was too high on mileage! So NO, We don't buy any car! Liars.
I agree :)
Philip Scofield was the TV ad face of 'we but any car' remember. Obviously his word and reputation has been trashed. Hopefully people realize actors and media personalities do any job for money.. certainly not to help the public
Schofield the bumboy
Yeah it's the same as Lenny Henry , he doesn't stay in Premier Inns 😊
We buy any car are owned by BCA auctions they buy them cheap and put them in their auction
BCA also own Cinch. BCA take the decent retail ready cars and retail them through Cinch, the rest end up in a BCA auction as you state.
I've sold two cars to WBAC - both times their operative went over the car with his 'paint depth meter', which appeared to be nothing more than a random number generator. Both times he knocked money off their original offer due to previous 'accident damage'. Which was utter nonsense, as I knew in both cases that the car had definitely not had any body repairs. However, on the plus side, WBAC's idea of a mechanical inspection is to drive it 50 yds around their car park. They are clearly not bothered if there's oil pouring out, the clutch is shot or the head gasket is blown. This rather confirms the theory that they put the cars straight to auction, where it's buyer beware, and the only thing a prospective buyer can check properly is the bodywork. So if your car looks presentable, but is mechanically on it's last legs, these are the people to sell it to.
hi User, many thanks for the comment. Interesting story and from a business perspective, the less work to be done means straight to the auction and instant profit in the shortest time. Good model if you think about it I guess
It is the same old story of when you want to sell/trade in a used car. There is always a story to knock down the price . Dealer example--well the mileage is high it would go to auction,it will need panels/wheels painting, its not an attractive colour, its not a popular spec.its the pre facelift model etc etc. Now go and buy a used car---its a few years old bound to have scuffs --its the best colour---best spec on this car--the mileage doesnt matter as the engines never fail--the list goes on. Its the scenario of you can buy things very easily but try and sell it in the future whether it be cars or houses--its always a hard and depressing experience .
Hi User, many thanks for the comment. On your side with your comments. Crazy world I fear
There online offer for my MX5 Roadster was £5750, so I suspect I may have got less 😂. Sold it privately for exactly £9000. 😊
Hi Ray, many thanks for the comment. That's exactly what I mean. Over £3000 better off selling privately. Well done. BTW - MX%, superb car!!! :)
If you want to sell your car for half the money it’s worth or less then I highly recommend WBAC. If you want to throw money away then WBAC is the company for you. They advertise that “for a little less” than selling privately they take the hassle out of selling. Its bollocks. Spend the time to get your car valeted, serviced, MOTd and keep the extra £££ you’re chucking away with the WBAC con men.
I agree :)
We steal any car...
Motorway paid me a great price and exactly what was agreed.
Hi Alan, that’s really good news
WBAC say in the advert. Admin fee may apply. That's a lie immediately. Admin fee DOES apply.
😆
WARNING: Never sell your Car to any company like WBAC. I had a car just gone 4 years old. New MOT, just been serviced, 20,000 miles 2 Kets etc., and what anyone in the right mind would call Showroom Ready, On Line I was Quoted £18,900. Went to the appointment and to cut a long story short, I was offered £14,500 after fees. Of cause I declined and walked away, with the guy saying he would call his boss and see if he could get me a bit more, I didn’t wait and drove off.
I week later I traded my car in at a dealer for a New Car and got £18,500, explain that one.
Hi Alan, that's a lesson for all of us. Checky sods!!!
There is no fees to pay unless you have outstanding finance on the car and they are settling it for you . Do you know what showroom ready means .
All dents scratches imperfection removed alloy wheel no marks what so ever all tyres the same brand with at least 6mm your are have to be spot on today
@@keithnewton8981 yes I do know what showroom ready means, my car had no dents or scratches, so didn’t need any removed or any imperfections to the wheels, all four tyres same make and my car had no finance on it, they still were going to charge me a fee. So tell me why a £4,400 on line price difference and £4,000 more trade in from a dealer.
Its just business... not that much different from main dealers...some time ago wanted to trade in my Bmw for a new one...mine was 2.5 years old it was in immaculate condition with an enhanced warranty..the price the main BMW dealer offered me was way less than the bottom book price in glass guide... Went to another dealer..(not bmw) got £10k more against a new car that was cheaper than the BMW...
well done :)
These clowns offered me £5500 for my Range Rover sport a few years ago I sold it privately for 10k because it had a few stone chips on the bonnet they said the whole car needed a re spray 😂😂
Hi Tommy, what you say is......no surprise!!!! Shocking where they come up with the numbers!!!
Food has gone up 100% so that puts the percentage inflation over the 10% we are being told.
Bought a pair of tracksuit bottoms from M+S. last year, £16, this year £20. Thanks an increase of more than 22%. The numbers the government give are not real life.
Legalised Scammers who prey off the poor!!🤬🤬
I agree - and there are many who are poor at this moment in time :(
It's far cheaper these days for me to use taxis.
I get free bus and train travel, so any random journeys I need to make by car, it would work out cheaper to use taxis.
My car is currently used for less than 1,500 miles per year ... I have depreciation on the car, £600 per year VED and insurance plus repairs and MOT ... and that is before I even put any petrol in it.
I reckon about £1000 per year goes on keeping my car on the road ... that will pay for a lot of taxis.
I agree on the point for taxis. I suspect the more than 50% of folk would find that using taxis is cheaper overall than having a car. I am on your side on this point!! :)
1. If car is not in perfect condition expect 25% down on the price
2. If car IS in perfect condition why sell thru them anyway u can get alot more selling private or part exchange
They knock off about £250 for every panel that is damaged, and about the same for each wheel, so they can easily knock £1k off. Tell them about all the scuffs first!
Hi Alan, many thanks for the comment. Yes, you are right. On completing the online form, I am not sure that the form asks you to identify scratches etc however, it should do to give a more realistic number to the potential seller. Good call :)
Gave me a a silly price told them to shove it corporate’s shafting the working man
Bought an old Nissan Almera at auction for £200 in 2009. She was rough around the edges ,but she never missed a beat in the 18 months going to work, and taking me to Devon or Wales! When I decided it was time for a newer car, I scrapped her, and I got.......£200!! 😂 Wasn't going to allow WBAC anywhere near her as they would have scrapped her too, so I won!! 😂
Hi Beverley, many thanks for the comment. Now that's a great story. £200 for 18 months driving, and then someone pays you £200 to take it off your hands. Nil costs. Brilliant :)
Wise words matey, couldn't agree more with all the points made. Actually got a better trade in at the main dealers last month, than these internet car buying companies.
Hi Stephen, thanks for the comment. It is interesting but not suprising that a better deal for you was sought from a dealer. Let's be clear, WBAC are just another middle man taking a slice of the pie - and they just deal with volume to make their profits. The car I sold would have ended up on a forecourt for some £6999. The art of this is that a dealer can offer finance and unfortunately, the world revolves on finance. Once again, thanks for the comment :)
a px price is made up out of an over allowance from the profit in the car you buy and isn't what it stands on their books at
Just sold mine to Cazoo. None of the others could match them. And I fully expected them to knock me down. But they just gave me the online offer price without issue.
Hi Mac, thanks for the comment. That is great news for you, well done 😀
Pleased you got it way privately for a lot more than the WBAC price, patience paid off!
To be honest, I've never had a bad deal with WBAC....the key is to be honest with damage etc............
Once u contact them and cancel they won’t leave u alone. I decided against it before turning up and was contacted non stop by 5 different branches. My old man owned a repair and car pitch, he always told me not to waste money on cars and I never have. Am mid 60s now who would have thought a fiesta would be over £20k. Cars and houses peoples staples are so massively overinflated in uk causing misery and hardship and poor quality of life as no £ for anything else
hi Volt. Great comment 😄
Motorway came with a better price, they have dealers bidding on your car.
Volvo xc60 inscription pro PHEV T8. Only 28k miles on a 2018 plate. A dealer offered £28.5k in June, Motorway 32300. The dealer who won came to the car, checked paint with a paint meter, chipped £100 off and paid £32200. Seemed like a win for us....
Never thought of trying Motorway. Next time, I will try them as well :)
Gave me a price over the phone. Took the car along, guy went over it with a paint depth measurer and noted every mark. Come on, they’re age related. 1 owner FSH low mileage. Came back with a BS price- kick in the nuts. They want pristine minters. Don’t we all. Con artists who prey on the desperate. Needless to say I walked.
Hi john, sounds a bit like my experience
More people should watch this video, WBAC's business model preys on the nievity of the seller, once they have been quoted a price, they become fixated on that amount, its obvious that when the car gets to the inspection shop that price is only ever going to go down!, it costs WBAC nothing to overinflate the online quote it's just the bait to get you there,
Thanks for the comment Jeremy, its all about taking advantage of your situation
WBAC is part of BCA so they pay less than auction Prices so as to make a profit at car auctions.
Hi John, yes, I have learnt this since the video was posted. It's business I guess 👎
Very wise comments! They offer you low price to fund the "squeeky bum" salesman commission!!! (Was his suit very shiney, and leather patches on the elbows??) Agree the PCP finance scheme is a total rip off! I have always bought my cars for CASH and been a DIY mechanic for the last 50 years - usually starting with a low mileage second hand car, then maintaining it well, and keeping it a long time!
Hi Alan, thanks for the comment. Sounds good advice from you. I do something very similar in general :)
Was this at Etruria, had the same experience, staff really good but shocking how quickly the price was shaved down, needless to say we didn't sell either
Hi Mart, thanks for the comment. Yes, Etruria it was. I suspect you made the right decission, the same as mine :)
Fact. only 29percent of online valuations from this company are paid. So dont even waste your fuel to go
Ian, I think you are.......correct!
Thank you for your wise words
Hi Ree0, thanks for the comment. It is much appreciated :)
It’s a numbers game for wbac, if 30% change their mind at last minute they will have factored that in, also it gives them in effect a first refusal on the cars before you go somewhere else.
that's a good way of looking at this Neil 👍
Great vid I had a range rover value on line 18k offered me 14k ? Car was immaculate
Hi DJ, Mmmm, low offers is their game 😥
I would never sell a car to those scammers.
I found the same problem when I changed my BMW 430d coupe at the BMW main dealers in Nottingham. Now I wouldn't and don't use any of the main agents, plush showrooms which we are paying for !
Hi Peter, many thanks for the comment. I completely agree with your comment. Spot on!!
True they have never honoured their quote an employee says
Motorway are good , its just a dealer auction anyway
yep had the same problem with my dads audi A1 they says 5 grand when i got there wanted to give him 3 and a half just laugh at them
hi Mick, many thanks for the comment. Yep, been there :)
If you agree to their low ball figure they initiate part two of the their plan to fleece you by offering to put the cash in your bank the same day for a ridiculous service charge, or put it into your account within a couple of days for a slightly smaller ridiculous service charge or you have to wait 10 working days for the money..!
Hi RT, many thanks for the comment. That's really interesting. I never considered this as i did not get that far in the process. Mmmmmm, another rip off tactic.
@@bankruptpensioner Yeah, their typical customer is eager for cash so by having a three tier payment system they know they can extort even more money out of them by charging additional fees for same day payment. I sold my mother’s car after she passed during covid. They originally offered £3,000 for a 2009 Ford Fiesta which ended up at £2,200 after finding every single scratch, dent and mark. Reluctantly I agreed as I couldn’t have the car hanging around, he then says for a £90 I can have the money transferred the same day, for £75 I can have it within 24 hours or I’d have to wait 10 business days. I said I’ll wait thanks
@@RT-ii8hb This is really interesting and good information for other viewers. Sorry to hear about your mother, hope the family is coping ok with your sad loss. It is amazing how the net payment just keeps reducing depending on your situation. Very interesting story.
Good video all dealers offer very little
Thanks 👍
Great information
thanks for the comment, much appreciated
You need to declare all damage and defects however small when getting your initial valuation on line with WBAC. Their business model assumes your car is in ‘as new’ condition regardless of its age. So that doesn’t mean excellent or good condition ‘for it’s age’, as they age of the vehicle is not taken in to consideration. The fact is even some of their managers are frustrated with this valuation system but it is what it is and it’s best to try to work with it as it says in the last part of the video. This is how it works.
hi Steven, many thanks for the comment. And the great advice when using WBAC. You are right however the business model to flawed from WBAC as it should assume some damage through time. Thoughts?
@@bankruptpensioner it seems natural to use the age and mileage of the car as a baseline for it’s expected condition. But I think the problem they would have in adopting that policy is how to define what is reasonable for any given car. I suspect that’s why they have the system they have now.
@@stevena9305 I agree :)
I disagree, they ask you to describe the general condition during the initial valuation questionnaire. I believe they give you a high valuation to lure you to the inspection stage, knowing that most people will accept the low offer simply because they’re there now and it’s too much hassle to start the process again with another company. Add to that, the fact that a lot of their customers are desperate for cash they prey on this to extract as much profit as possible. Yes it’s a business and yes, they are there to make money however I would be interested to know how many people actually received the full valuation amount they were initially quoted. I’ll wait…
@@RT-ii8hb not sure what you disagree about. That’s how they work and I’ve used them a number of times. They will only take money off if you have failed disclose a defect, no matter how small or if you state the mileage incorrectly etc. If you present the car as you describe it they will pay the full valuation. I have done this several times and received the on line valuation to the penny. But to do that requires deceleration of every tiny stone chip and blemish which 99% of people ether can’t see or can’t be bothered to do.
We buy any car offered me double than anyone else to scrap the car even though it was in good working order. I was paying out for body work constantly and had had enough but it ran fine. Best offer I got though
Hi Carol, thanks for the comment. Sounds like you get the best deal compared to all of us. Well done :)
WBAC does have a section on the online form for damage etc, which gives a more accurate valuation. I’ve sold two cars to them, both around 18 months old in immaculate condition. One was paid the full price, one had a small reduction for a couple of stone chips, which I was perfectly happy with. Both prices were far higher than dealer p/x prices.
Hi Robert, thanks for the comment and apologies for the slow response. You are right. Only a week ago, WBAC did collect the neighbours Merc and the quoted online number is what was paid. Strange really. And yes, the price he got was higher than dealer offers as well. Interesting thoughts :)
Then you are one of the lucky few then
Even if the repair is superb beware!If the magnet don't stick they dock you.Sell privately for true value.
WBAC owns the auction too so its a win win for them
Thanks for the reply
It’s BCA auctions that buys the cars to put back into their auction
Thats interesting Skyline :)
The truth needs to come out about all these companies that have popped up, they are no different from anyone else they want to buy your vehicle cheap, of course they know how to talk and lie, just be careful as some are on the edge of bankruptcy as you might get stung when buying, there are plenty of sad stories out there, its why I always deal with a well knows car dealer, be careful to research car dealers too, they aren't all squeaky clean, some of the big names are thieves. Do your homework.
thanks for the heads up RBNHD :)
Robbing bunch of hoods.
I tend to agree Bill :)
Tbh its obvious that this is the way they do their business but its also your choice to sell the car.
Fair comment Chris 😄
Be helpful for context if you described which issues etc you disclosed when you asked for the quote
I think its maybe because their in the business to make a few quid when they sell it at auction. Auction sells the car cheaper than a dealer will pay, hence why dealers buy from auction. If only these scrag ends as in the people selling didn't live beyond their means.
Such a great concept buy a bit cheaper than what you are going to sell it for. These same saddo's will still buy the latest out of date Apple product on day one too. I just laugh at them
Hi Kool, many thanks for the comment. I am on your side. The world is full of crazy people chasing the last stuff and it simply wastes ones money and is not required. Not long ago, if you couldn't afford it, you didn't have it. Things have changed so much-and in the wrong way
Great Story, Cheers
Thanks Brady 👍
Yep, but tell me something i didn`t know at least 10 yrs ago.I use WBAC to give me a guide for trade ins. I have nearly always achieved more than their valuation on trade in,sometimes over £2k more.My last trade in August 23, I got £3 K more than WBAC original valuation.
Hi Beastie boy (great name 😁), many thanks for the comment. This is a really good approach. I shall look into this when I next take an PX in.
A sold my van to WBAC a couple of years ago
Got within 2 hundred pounds of what they quoted me, just over 12 grand
A was very happy with the deal🙃
@@otlseal9159 well done!!!
we buy any car have car dealers to sell them on to,they make a profit and the dealer makes a profit hence the low price
I agree with you Emlyn
WBAC tried to have me over twice. Motorway worked well
I shall try Motorway next time. Hopefully give me a fairer price.
Can you explain how they tried to have you over twice?
20% inflation in 2022 wow - what was the source for that figure?
Hi Daniel, yes, things have gone up by about 20%. Food price increases are today at about 16% with energy at about 6%. This is government data but the media does not say anything.
I sold a car to them and when I went to walk away they increased their price
Hi PM, thanks for the comment. They would not do that with me....unfortunately :(
we buy any car is owned by a large auction house, cinch is part of the same group, so your car may go straight to cinch.i worked 100yds from a webuy branch, I wished I could stop mugs giving their cars away ,
The low mileage cars go to Cinch for top end money, the rest of the stock goes through BCA auctions. They are basically putting the small independent traders out of business
Hi Colin, many thanks for the comment. I suppose when you are desparate to get rid or in need of cash, WBAC appears to be a good route however, the financial hit is big
Wouldn't sell my Grandad's old wheelbarrow to WBAC, and workshop, more like grotty portakabin
I had that £17000 on phone when the chipper came round couldn’t find anything wrong whatsoever except two tyres a bit close to THERE limit and offered £14000,I told him not hard up go away it’s not done 21 tho
😬👍
It's business, good bad or otherwise, no one with half a brain that a used car dealer would be honest or have a hidden agenda.
WBAC staff get a bonus based on how much they can slash the offer price
Mmm....I didn't think of that but it does sound logical now you have mentioned it 👍
Nah it's not true. If anything the buyer wants the price as high as possible as they get a bonus if they hit a number of sales in a week
Bait & switch, the oldest trick in book
Great way of describing it.
MOTORWAY is always more money
WBAC are a rip off company, I nearly punched the salesman at Pontypool, an absolute Moron. Offered £1000 less than given online. The women before me was in tears due the ridiculous offer made after she had arrived. I will never ever use these Tossers, again. They prey on people because they are desperate.
funny enough its not just car buyng places thats been shafting the public i tried that with the online mobile phone company i put in a quotation to see how much they would pay me for it even though the phone was right out of the box what a rip off quote came back as £50 for something i piad over £150 for so i see exactly where your coming from with this wbac's rip off tactics
Hi Jasinere, many thanks for the comment. Yep, you are right. Giving back any product is an opportunity for these businesses to give you the lowest price. And then the price doubles when they come to sell said product. I wish I had started a business like this :)
Anyone in the comments wished they had thought of this idea 😂 they are making an absolute mint
I agree. Wish i had come up with this scam :)
They are loosing a mint, WBAC is a part of BCA (British car auctions) who lost £100 million last year !
Yes, I heard this on the news yesterday
They are after "perfect" cars and deduct for scratches, dinks, keys etc. Last year I sold my 3 year old Duster to them for the online quoted price which was £1,000 more than I'd paid for it a year earlier from a dealer. So my experience is at odds to this vid.
Hi John, many thanks for the comment. It sounds like you had a great deal and well done. Just sharing my experience and to be aware of the impact of price lowering :) BTW - Duster - great machine!!
Offered me 18k for my golf gti perf 7.5 keyless/park assist/lane assist/sunroof/adaptive suspension/upgraded sound and full touch screen etc etc oh full SH with just over 10k 67 plate... just lol.
wow, thats great Maxie
Cash converters for cars
that's a good way of thinking about it 😆
They buy cars,for a low price,from people desperate to sell.Everything is in the favour of WBAC.
Hi Keith, many thanks for the comment. I agree entirely, a lot of people are quite desparate, especially now with the rising cost of living. Good point on desparation. I did not think of that dimension.
Why would any sane person even consider them. If you want quick cash that's the price you pay
that's a good point 👍
If nurses or anybody else get 10% payrise then that pushes up inflation even higher. If every person was given £5000 to buy a car the cheapest car would be???? £5000
Hi Mr Dirkles, many thanks for the comment. London bus drivers got an 18% rise early this year. To be fair, the NHS has taken an overall drop in pay over the past 15 years, this is why people are leaving it like a sinking ship. Maybe part of a bigger plan by the government 😆. Your numbers are right, the higher the pay, the higher the product price.
@@bankruptpensioner exactly! Were all being screwed over by those at the top whilst they do their best to divide us.
We are poorer this is our new reality.
There are no deals replacing the trade lost by Brexit in contrary deals which were signed for the sake of signing which hit our industries.
On top that pandemic and the war.
We are scr e wed for years to come. The worst is that I can't see anyone who can get us out of this mess.
Anyway let's enjoy our freedom.
hi Jerry, I agree 😄
Not sure where you get your inflation figures from , seems you spin for justification of your story….. and the lady appearing the next day omg… i hope its true but seemed to be an after thought lol
What’s wrong with his figures? Everyone is saying their car insurance is up well above 20% alone
hi Terence, many thanks for the comment and, many thanks for watching the video to the end. Yes, I have some tech stuff that calculates my spend and compares the price of items to the previous months. Based on food, fuel for car and bikes, utilities gas and electric, at the time, inflation costs were some 21.4%. Inflation at the moment is running at 10.2% based on the last three months. Fortunately, there is no mortgage. Had this been the case, and the mortgage had risen due to interest rates, the current 10.2% would be much higher. Of course, these are my numbers and everyone is different however, I am quite frugal so I image others who are not have a higher inflation rate for their households. The lady at the end, absoloutly true. Bear in mind this video was recorded after the total event and some days more. The lady loved the car and was happy to take it. To be fair, the car was great with full service history etc and low miles. Once again, thanks for watching to the end of the video. Much appreicated.
@@bankruptpensioner thanks for such detailed response in justifying your comments but as i am sure you appreciate inflation has a set guide to the calculation agreed upon and managed by govt and bofE. Its good you manage your spend so well. Really pleased you sold the car at a reasonable price too. We buy take cars at a lower price and look for any excuse to reduce. The good cars go to cinch, others to bca where they are split into select premium etc where the trade buy from and you would hope repair and resell…. It would be good if you did a post on that process…. Keep up the good clips / enjoyed it… gets a chat going which cant be bad 👍

Rip off merchants
We buy any car just auction it off through BCA Or it goes to chinch .
Pcp is basically you paying someone to drive there car . money down drain.
My daughter's boyfriend took out pcp because i suppose he wanted to impress everyone in the family.
But he's now waiting till it ends which is another 3 years .
Hi Mr Omlette, many thanks for the comment. Completely understand and agree with your comment. PCP is not a great thing
Just had quote for my car 1200 pound less than I have sold it for on market scammers
Hi Helen, many thanks for the comment. Terrible situ. You did well to get better money privately :)
The only time we buy any car dropmthere prices is ifvyou not be honest in your pre inspection assessment so before yountake your car to them you fill,out as assessment form on link and it asks to abouts every panel if there are scratch dints marks o the alloys etc now as long as your honest you will get what the quoted. We tend to do our on line assessment leave 5 to 6 weeks because they willing up there offer.
Now the only time we got lowered by 100 was on a small scuffvon one alloymthe deduct £100 for damaged alloy.
Until they purchased the carvthey are not allowed to get inside or inspect the interior or start the car. We sold 3 car bia always getting significantly more money thst any dealers offers we are getting private sale price. But they want the best looking cars. So if the car look hreat you getvyour money
Rubbish. I took my BMW M3 to them, they dropped the price saying things like, Oh it has a tow bar, people don't like tow bars? and lots of other crap. They are Scammers.
@@BBob1 I can only go by the 3 car we have sold via them yes the look over the body work for scratch and chip and dents but I can tell apart from the one time we had a mark on alloy which lowered the price by £100 they have paid thr agreed prices it about being honest with your appraisal about the state your car is in . Look after your car keep on to of chips and marks you will get good money our 5 year old lexus 250is hybrid 35k on the clock they said £16500 lost £100 fir the pot hole we hot £16400 Better than offer we got from dealer our 3 Yr old Tucson £17250 that the price the quoted that what we got so its not rubbish when they do the evaluation they work around with and if they find a mark dent they tell and how much it will reduce or it it withing the guide lines as they have set criteria for assessing with size scratch etc. Can only report as we find
They do ask you if your car has factory or after market tow bar when you do the online assessment sorry but out mercedes E class had factory fitted elrctric folding tow bar fitted mad no difference to the price . May be after market tow bar do especially fixed type.
@@keithnewton8981I had an S-Max that I got a good initial price from WBAC. 4 year old car with 20k miles. The car was near mint - no paint issues, no wheel scuffs, immaculate interior.
Their guy came round and had a good look over it and said it was an amazing example and "do you not use it?".
He then said the price was £1200 less than originally quoted because "the market has gone down". That was the only reason.
I said no and he left.
WBAC called me 2 days later and asked what the issue was and I told them them market has not dropped £1200 in the 3 days between original valuation and their guy coming round.
After a few mins of haggling I accepted a revised offer of £100 less than their original.
So, no, WBAC do not drop prices only if there are "issues" with the car.
There only there to rip folk off ,that's how they make there money 🤑
Hi Shaun, many thanks for the comment. Overall, I think you are right. They do take advantage of those who need cash.
