When you put your car details in, dealers bid a price for it and then when you take it for them to look at they will ring the highest bidder and confirm it is as described then the deal is done. You had over the car and keys and they transfer the money into your account.

I sold my missus corsa that way got what I wanted for it.

Spend all the profit these b**stards make from offering silly money for cars. I got nearly 2 grand more than they offered selling mine privately.

Crooks who prey on the insecurity of people. Almost as bad as Checkatrade et al.

That's obvious. You would do. They are traders after all, so why would they pay more than book trade price like a private sale?

I think it's more the fact they are preying on the poor, desperate and its profiteering. Some people get offered up to 60% under book value. They are the car equivalent of the WONGA type companies.

Webuyanycar offered £1100 less than I was given as part exchange! They can be ok for getting rid of shopping cars/runarounds/ bangers but I don't think they would ever pay a fair price for a performance/prestige motor
