We buy any car

[Bornfree]

Just got a valuation of £450 for my truck last year it was £150 if I keep it for another 30 years it's going to be worth a million pounds. Happy days.

if you had of tried it in the middle to end of covid you would have got more for it

as the value for them soared quite a bit

a used transit van had a nice price tag for it whilst buying a new one you had a waiting list to get hold of one

I asked for a price on our dog runabout,

they offered about half of what it would cost to buy anything similar, and then bombarded me with messages for the next month several times a day

Also my experience

They do push the price up each time though. My partners daughters ex used to work for them. they had to make at least £800 on each and every car. Maybe more as a minimum now

Throw a deisel heater in it and you’ll triple it probably.

I sold my X3 with Evans Halshaw earlier this year. They give an online value in much the same way as We Buy Any Car.
My mate in the trade said the price that Evans Halshaw was offering was insane. It was well over what he would retail it for! They must have made a mistake.
I took it to the valuation centre, fully expecting them to say something like “sorry we got it wrong”. The valuer looked over the car and then transferred the full money.
I walked away thinking that was a bit surreal.

I sold my fathers CRV to Evans Halshaw after he died, much the same experience. Then sold my old pick up in a similar way to Vanbuyer from Liverpool, no hassle and a decent price, 3 k more than I was offered on a trade in at local dealers.

Just for devilment, rather than a wish to sell, I wondered about putting the registration of my 1968 Triumph 2000 to see what their computer comes up with?

I've just tried my road registered 1950 tractor reg. No. - "sorry, we couldn't find your car" it's certainly on the DVLA database as I had my VED reminder before Christmas.

"sorry, we couldn't find your car"

That's what gets round the "any" part in We buy Any Car

A neighbours was telling me his friend sold his car to we buy any car for £6.5k which was advertised by them for £11.5k. My wife got a valuation for her car (worth about £11k) and they offered £5.5K on the phone. I think 'we buy any car' purchases are sold by CINCH. We were looking for another car recently and found auctions to be almost a closed trade shop in the Northeast. There has been consolidation of car auction and sales companies in recent years the BCA parent company lost quite a bit of money last year.

Ah - that makes sense. So WBAC are just putting them into the auction?
