Boycie in Lewisham?
My friend got screwed down a lot on the price with them
Fair enough, we got offered about £500 more than the dealer was offering and about £250 less than we could get privately, but without the hassle.
motorway.co.uk - they act as intermediary putting your car into online auction with dealers. No fee, as they charge a finders-fee to the buyer rather than to yourself. No obligation to sell if the highest bid isn't what you're after.
Sold my wife's Ford Focus through them last year. Got substantially more than what We Buy offered (or any other option we looked at, including the valuation on Autotrader). Buyer came to our house, collected, and paid up without quibble. Far easy than having to handle a private sale through Autotrader or Facebook etc.
I’m selling my wife’s Ford Fiesta and was wondering where NSC recommends putting it up. I’ve had a guide from wesellanycar and cazoo but thought it better to go to a normal advert somewhere and try.
Facebook Marketplace is FULL of time wasters, I wouldn’t sell there.
Wherever you decide to sell be aware of the oil scam. It happened to me last year where one fella distracted me while another poured oil in my coolant. Engine smoked after test drive and was told it had blown and offered silly money. I sensed something was up and sent them on their way despite them being aggressive and trying to push a sale. They were Eastern European and my ad was through auto trader. A common scam apparently. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/news/motoring-news/oil-trick-scam-drivers/
I'm struggling to understand how this works.
From an engineering point of view, I'm not into pretending to be eastern european or ripping people off buying 2nd hand bangers.
Sorry, but I think you may have got your figures wrong, as they would not buy a car with such a little margin in it.
That is what we thought but 100% what the dealer was offering and we only had three private offers after advertising locally. When we turned up the guy had a good look around it, it was as described, we lost £100 I think for a couple of scratches. I was surprised but it was hassle free and got shot of it!
Have you had any tyre kickers yetWell I’ve put it on Facebook marketplace to start with and then Autotrader following all the advice….. ta everyone
