My experience with Motorway is very positive. The first vehicle sold for £1800 more than their estimate and £5500 more than a main dealer offered in part exchange. Five years later the second vehicle sold for £400 more than their initial estimate and a full £2000 more than a dealer offered in part exchange. In the interim I sold a vehicle through Cazoo. I received the exact amount they quoted.

put those cars in straight lines!!!!!!

i used to teach (35 yrs) Thought my job was stressful !! 🤣

Offer either you fix it or he gets cost of rad. Blatant tryer. You do get rogue traders just as you get rogue buyers which always affects the normal guys on both sides. Great content ( you must have the patience of Jobe )

Used Motorway twice and never again they give you a high figure to hook you in which i was,the actual offers from the car traders were nearly a grand less than there estimate and remember from a retail person selling a car the prices we are offered are trade prices so wont be anywhere near the price of retail.

If you can be bothered dealing with members of the public I think selling privately on Autotrader is a good place, I sold my Abarth which was in VERY good condition with low milage and full history, I advertised it for slightly more than what AT it sold in two days, and I got a very fair price for it, can't fault AT its been a great experience- sorry mr chops, not good for trade ins 😂🤣

That Freelander was up for sale in August and logbook changed Sep so you would guess it was sold then.

I've tried selling 3 cars through Motorway. Two of them achieved above the estimate and the third was £100 less, however equal to the offer my local dealer had made for the car.

We traded a good used focus into we buy any car. The estimate was high, higher than I knew was realistic. When we actually took it in, they knocked it down to what I actually did think was the realistic price, which we accepted.

Not tried Motorway, but WBAC are dreadful at reducing their price for no good reason. Conversely, my sons wife sold her car via Carwow for more than WBAC's initial quote, very easy experience.

Just to add a comment here, I think buying from James here is a valuable lesson, you need to find a trader who values their reputation... Individual sellers probably won't. And as a side note the dealer whom I brought a BMW ZM from, well when you buy and pay for that sort of car, when it has a problem, after less than 100km, it has been parked in garage ever since, you would expect them to care... I know off topic, but the flasher the dealership, guess who is paying for it...

When the car game was going mad, yes people could get a good price from these places.

i miss buying cheap and running them into the ground ,once had a vw polo in the early 80s with an tin under the bonnet to collect the oil from the breather cap and then put it back into the engine every 100 miles or so bought it for £25 quid and used it for months, eventually abandoned it in mcr airport when i went abroad for a season

Finding ourselves relectant to go private due to having been caught out with an oil.guzzling PSA engineered 1.2 petrol engined 2015 Peugeot Règrêtte, yes the one with the cam belt "bathed in sexy french aromatic oils with a ford inspired afterglow" we tested the water. WBAC quoted way below market value £3300 - Motorway £4800. Fate then intervened and someone kindly veered into my daughter's lane and scraped both o/s doors and the sill. Claims Handlers selected garage meanwhile quoted a eye watering £3200 to repair. Eventuall somewhat to my surprise was declaredTotal.Loss paid £6200 less 1k excess. We bit their hand off needless to say. A cautionary tale - pre accident I was bracing myself for a much reduced final offer from Motorway - they know that sellers are likely going to take a knocked down price at point of sale.

£6600 plus the fees of £340 so near enough £1000 more

Tried to sell my BMW threw motorway. The quoted 36k highest bidder was 34.5k and wanted someone to collect it and have it inspected before releasing any money. I politely declined.

Motorway offered me £13250 on my van. On review, they dropped to £8750 due to it being older and a common camper van... I cut my losses and sold privately sold for £11250. I got the impression that they just lost interest in the vehicle and they knew i needed to sell. Don't give in easily, if it's a good vehicle, youll get a reasonable return

Best thing with ebay is just not to reply to any of the innit bruvs and their silly questions. Phone calls only and serious ones at that. Not worth the time and stress levels. I only ever sold a low value car once privately online and it got that bad I nearly drove it to the scrapyard myself.

Sold 6 cars on motorway. Only 1 that didn’t hit its motorway estimate. Best we did was 2 grand over estimate. Average was estimate plus £500. Motorway ask you to detail every piece of damage on your vehicle. If you’re honest about the condition and the service history then the prices are fairly accurate. The people that get shafted are the ones who lie about the condition to try and get more then get caught out 🤷🏻‍♂️

Nice car that Freelander and manual to boot. Shouldnt have any bother selling that although that price may be optimistic!

Good evening James, I had a friend who was quoted for his Lexus GS 3500 on Motorway they estimated £8500 and the best he was offered was £7600 so quite a way off, he eventually traded it at Lexus for £7900 against a newer Lexus. Must admit the forecourt is looking rather grand now-just need to see all the motors pointing the other way (as per Mr Brewer). Just a note to say I really enjoy being on this journey with you and the way you keep it all real and true to yourself. Keep it going. Alan B (A very snowy Nottingham)

Always good videos and honest. 👍👍👍👍

Another great video

Ooooooo love the look of that metallic red Duster - rare colour

We buy any car advert underneath your video and then interupted by a Motorway advert. 😮

All dealers want to do is get your partx a cheap as there can and make lots off money that the truth

Is the alfa for sale

I sold a 58 plate Vectra SRi to we buy any car 2 years ago and they slashed the quoted price by half. However with motorway we just sold a 23 plate Kia Xceed and got £600 more than the estimate which was already £1000 more than the local dealer offered and the dealer that bought it has just sold it for about £1900 more so they must have quoted a fair price on that one. So it can work both ways.

Motorway = 💩 Same as wbac. It's all 🐂💩

What price is the qashqai

I need to chip in on this. I have sold two cars through Motorway , both achieved the estimated price and both the Motoway offers were above WBAC. So for me it worked.

I sold my 2016 Kia Picanto on Motorway and got every penny they said I would. Was the easiest most hastle free car sale I ever made, must of been lucky I guess 😊

I’ve sold 3 cars through motorway over the last 4 years. 2 of them sold for more than what motorway quoted.

I dont recommend Land Rover But if you're going to go for one, that looks like a good one.

Just sold my 5 year old VW Golf in perfect condition with 129,000 miles on Motorway. In the end got £300 knocked off. I was disappointed, but looks like i did relatively well. I've been using it for work, but now my employer is offering me an EV and i only have to pay the BIK.

Last month James WBEC offered my dad £21900 for his car one week later they dropped £4k off the price so we put it in motorway they est £21432 and he actually achieved £22500 they chipped him £300 for pitted disks on a 15k mile car but in the end did ok but just shows you need to try everyone 👍

On e Bay maybe just ignore the questions, I find the people with loads of questions are never the final bidder, put absolutely everything on, maybe say no less than 10 feedback and let it run it's course.

Oh no not if you take care of it!

must be awful having to give people what their cars are worth old choppy boy

Joe buys cars for more hehe, sorry I could resist James, Tongue firmly in cheeky. Love your content and honesty. and yes both Motorway and car wow over price them and the dealers view them and it normally ends up very simlar plus fees. save the hasslte and chops it i say.

Great video bud Yes your right about these firms, spoils the job, I thought you'd have to bail out on the suzuki, it's only scrap tbh, hopefully you'll do OK on e Bay, I never really have, people just don't turn up, hoping someones going to bring a trailer and be all enthusiastic might be a big ask. You'd have been better off sticking to your aygo. Land rover looks great.

Yup, they give a good price as the estimate just to get people in with the car, then work it down from there when you’ve got them in there face to face with the car, let’s face it these are big operations which ain’t big for no reason 👍 You then just have to hope they made a mistake and you end up getting it cheap at auction 😂

Each video is better than the last. You’re on a roll!

When advertised with Motorway the details are sent to traders around the country. I got a good offer but due to complications with the car I was buying I didn’t follow it up. That’s my experience ….

Use Moors for Freelander as due 4 tyres to avoid diff going, cambelt interval was 9 years, now apparently 7. Also due diff and gearbox oil so bill from main dealer would be biblical.

So, Motorway used to say that your car was offered to dealers on their system who would underwrite a value and the best offered to the seller? Offered a two year old, cat N, VW Up and the instant reply was 'we don't accept cat vehicles'. this was two years ago but they continue to bombard me with messages stating that my vehicle has risen in value and I should consider relisting with them; bunch of wallys.

The 2.2 diesel in that Freelander 2 is a Ford engine. Proper old school rattly diesel.

I haven't heard if you want my dad's car yet, but it isn't always just about the price I don't think. My dad has just given up driving and he has maybe a month left to live, so for him it is about the least hassle possible rather than best price. His car is also cluttering up my garage!
