'We buy any car' valuations

[T8]

They're always good for a laugh - if you don't take them seriously.

I keyed my reg into their website and winced when I got the result.

To make myself feel better I tried again using this car as an example.

I don't think their £51k asking price is unrealistic.

WBAC valuation = £27,310 :floor: :floor: :floor:

I've just had a go with mine - £2,300. :grin:

I tried WBAC a few years back for my 996. Valued at £8k and I sold it for £15k.
I think you are paying for Schofield's salary!

"Motorway" estimates seem a little low initially but last November I used them to sell the wife's XF sportbrake and received £2.5k more than their initial valuation.
In truth, if I had got that price, selling privately, I would have been over the moon.
The reason for using them was that we had bought a new Audi from "Drive the Deal" at 19% discount off list price.

"Carwow" valuations seem on the low side too, but I have never pursued with a sale using them.

They will NOT pay what they value your car at online. Wake up peeps !!

I know several people who got exactly what motorway offered online without any hassle. I have no idea if that is the norm but it certainly happens.

I got paid exactly what WBAC offered.

Motorway is a different setup, where the first figure is just an indication until the dealers start putting in actual offers.

In that case I take it back. Two of my local Wbac guys told me they have to knock the car down from the valuation at your appointment. I experienced it 1st hand with flawless cars....That was pre pandemic however.
