Selling Cars

[Since1982]

Helpful feedback. Thanks. I think I'll go with auto trader and also check out piston heads.

If you're referring to what I think you're referring to, I would take extremely strong issue with that. Anyway.

Why?

Just out of interest what do WBAC do with all these cars they buy?

Got a quote off of WBAC for £4.2K for my old car to get an idea. Put it on eBay with a starting bid of 1p - it sold for £5.5K.

Selling privately is always the best option. I don't have anything against Dealers and companies like WBAC offering 20-30% less than the car is worth; they have to make a profit somehow.

They sell them - at a profit obviously. I'm guessing it's to a network of second hand car dealers.

Autotrader or Pistonheads.

I read the other day that WBAC are owned by British Car Auctions so I guess they all go to auction and gain a nice profit as they don't have to pay themselves auction fees.

Indeed and the auction fees are quite a bit.

If you've got a car that's genuine just sell it privately and only release the vehicle once you have cleared funds in your account. Only allow collection on weekdays during bank hours, when cash and bankers drafts can be verified

Or if you've got money to burn give it to the cash converters of the motor industry
