[Misc] We Buy Any Car
- Thread starter jonnyrovers

We Buy Any Car aren't offering part exchanges. They offer (a very low amount of) cash, which is a totally different thing to what you're talking about. With a PX deal, they're adding to the price of the car you buy from them to counteract any losses they make on the car they take off you.
And you answered yourself "getting rid of a Ford Orion. YES!!!!!". At a guess....

1995 was the first of the Mk4's, but the Mk3's kept running for a while after that. All got a bit confusing...

We had a car that sat outside the house most of the time and was starting to get a bit unreliable. Got very little for it and have now decide to use the Enterprise Car Club. Basically they have vehicles based on streets all across the UK and you just book one on the app, even at short notice.
If you don't drive often and don't think too hard about the cost per drive, but instead compare it to the annual cost of tax/insurance/servicing/repairs of a rapidly depreciating vehicle that you'll get next to nothing for when you sell, I reckon we're saving quite a bit. And we get to drive a new (or newish) car. And there's a parking space waiting when we get back.

I was referring to the change from the mk2 to the mk3 (which, according to your links, was 1989). The look changed, so that's what I thought you meant by the 'new model'. The 95 mk4 looked the same as the mk3.
Very experienced (and 1970's - 90's) 'trader' term there.....
A bit before my time, but it’s still used a bit these days !

Yes, but was totally unaware until the deal was agreed and I collected the last couple of bits from the pouch on the back of the front seat (naughty pup had chewed an armrest).

I was very surprised when they paid me top dollar - more than the dealership offered me when I was ordering a brand new made to my own spec car.

The Mk2 was indeed replaced by the Mk3 in 1989 and was a huge change in look and design.
The Mk4 was quite a redesign from the Mk3 and I don't think they looked the same at all !! Here's a green Mk3, and a burgundy Mk4 side by side :

With my old Peugeot, I was tempted to just write-off the depreciation by donating it to the fire service. I believe they still do this; take your clapped-out old motor and practice RTC casualty extrication. Would have been nice to know I'm giving something back to the community...only the car wouldn't make it the 3 miles to the fire station.
So, moan about Ffords all you want. Just be grateful you never had a Ppeugeot.

Same here. Was offered £50 by them. Decided to try Gumtree instead. After I input the details on Gumtree a pop up appeared telling me the car was worth £700. I sold it for £600, faults and all.
Avoid WBAC.com
I would have been surprised too!

Absolute F#cking Brilliant. Did you give them a receipt or invoice ? I would have and labelled it ''Fools Fee''

WBAC just got owned. I was given confidence by a few of the stories on this thread. They've just given me £2k for my wife's car. The gearbox & clutch have had it. Book value £2600. Repair costs quoted at £1900. I win. Hopefully whoever buys it at auction has the good sense to start it up & move it!

Nope. The next owner just got owned.
Hopefully it's not some poor private individual who has saved for months to buy a new family car at auction to save himself some cash and get a bargain.
WBAC never lose, even if you win.
