WE BUY ANY CAR - Rip off or viable alternative to selling your car?

[@jaycam2886]

They are a RIP off in 2022,They offered me 2400 for a convertible BMW immaculate condition only 50,000 on the clock, I sold the car privately for 7200

[@magnuswalker7957]

Agree, they ripped off a member of my immediate family. Avoid if you can.

[@alanpowell2849]

Great video, very informative. I got my Jaguar XF valued by WBAC and when I ignored them, they increased the price twice more. It started at £13,835 then went to £15,000 and finally £15,265. I sold it through Motorway for £16,058.

[@BeingHappyIsNo1]

I have reported them to trading standards. Never again

[@max11111able]

AVOID! Offered me a whopping £5,000 less than I paid for my car from used car showroom 10 months ago. It's so atrocious what they offer it's just ripping people who don't know better off it should be shut down

[@snowman2970]

Found that WBAC always gave ridiculously low prices compared to Motorway. Wouldn`t consider using them at all.

[@samain11]

I had online offer of £5200 for a 14 plate Panda 4x4 with 30k on the clock. After the appointment the offer was £4950. I sold it on Autotrader for £6350 minus the cost of the Advert.

[@paulefc1971]

Tried to knock me down £3000, mainly for stone chips, could have completely re sprayed the bonnet for a quarter of that, told them to f*** off they then tried the “ringing the manager” and got the quote back to around £500 less than their initial quote but the lack of trust was already there then,got more than their initial quote part exchanging it

[@tonyhaynes9080]

They mainly exist for those people that are desperate for the money. They know that if you turn up, then they will offer you silly money and see what you say.

[@chazoclock]

Reading the comments: So many confident opinions, using guesswork & pulling repair/paint figures out of the air 🤣 this is why WBAC exists, to buy from people who don’t know or understand the car trade. All WBAC vehicles are sold through BCA (car auction), they are sold ‘unseen’ to car traders. It’s a great business model, it was a bargain at £64m in 2013, considering the lady who runs it for bca got over £20m just as a bonus last year.

[@hiramabiff225]

I don't care if they're any good or not, I just want the damn adverts to stop, please!! No more!! I can't take anymore!!!!

[@magnuswalker7957]

It's the stupid dancing that pisses me off.

[@Tango22052]

It’s all about expectations, if you’re honest with the description of your car and happy with the valuation then stick to your guns. I used Motorway and it turned out really well due to the fact that I was honest and the dealer that won the auction was very fair. Ended up getting £k over the original valuation.

[@tooyoungtobeold8756]

Don't forget there's also an admin fee.

[@geoffg46]

Very strange he didn't mention that

[@whatwhywhenthen]

They are rip off merchants, there's a 49 pound administration fee which you've failed to mention

[@andrewchrisp2774]

Got a meeting on Monday regards to selling my car with we buy any car. Appreciate the info.

[@thomasvideoa]

If you don't think 30% off KBB price is not a rip off, you sure can do business with them.

[@ipanemakid3058]

WBAC would take the skin off a 💩 if they could.

[@alexrobinson2281]

Owned by British Car Auctions

[@johnswarbrick2365]

They are after "perfect" cars and deduct for scratches, dinks, keys etc. Last year I sold my 3 year old Duster to them for the online quoted price which was £1,000 more than I'd paid for it a year earlier from a dealer. So my experience was a good one.

[@davidknight8172]

Total rip off,I got offered a thousand pounds more from a main dealer.

[@waynekerrr9027]

Just avoid these jokers...

[@sydhughes6041]

Update... online offer £1540... onsite £1050 offer... walled way.

[@scottmullikin9227]

I recently had an evaluation through we buy any car and had the same issue where upon physically seeing it they offered me £600 less. After I took it to Arnold Clark who gave me a much better offer by £1800 from the original quote given by we by any car. If I was to sell another car to a dealership I wouldn't go anywhere else now.

[@gordonmccartney5648]

I found the Arnold Clark version to be pretty good!

[@MrScooby154]

Yes but Arnold will be making a lot on your new one

[@peterkelly5672]

Bought my golf 1.4 dsg 125 4 year ago was going to trade in for a new Tcross the dealer offered 9k WBAC £12600 pre inspection

[@kevintucker3681]

They say a panel has been resprayed, when it hasn't, and on one visit, said the same, but missed the panel that had been resprayed, rip off to reduce the price

[@joydivider42]

Of course they are going to knock you down....they assume that if you're going there all other options are out or the seller is to lazy/inconvenienced to explore them You have to put in some work for maximum selling price or accept less than its worth. A dealer wants a mark up which is why many people put in the time to sell privately. Some are extremely difficult to sell because they are out of economics or fashion. I don't believe they will buy any car which is why local dealers will reject some...many cars are just not cost effective to repair issues at the price point... unless its a scrapper.....when they will still build in a profit on scrap value.

[@JJC1138]

Thanks very much for making this. It's very valuable to hear how it actually works when you get there.

[@shauncorless8965]

It started in the 9 th century we buy any cart

[@CricketEngland]

And how does buying your next car with out part exchanging get you a better deal off your next car ?

[@traceja14]

Thankyou for your info before I go to sell mine x

[@Nas4real]

It’s a Rip off!

[@robertebob3596]

If your just changing cars I find PX the best and for an idea of its value just look what my old car sells for and deduct £2-2.5k from that , we all like to call out dealers but showrooms , forcourts , sales staff , valeting , warranties , web sites ect are not free and after all that Mr Sunak will want some of any profit they make.

[@thebronzedadonis]

I was happy enough going down the WBAC route even though I ended up taking £400 less than the online quote. Tried to sell it privately but ended up fielding countless AF scammers who offered double what I was asking for in return for a “small arrangement fee.” The two people that did turn up to see the car were obviously dealers who were looking to get it on the cheap. One of them actually claimed I was more less obliged to sell it to him even though he offered a quarter of the asking price. His reasoning was that I’d put ‘ono’ on the advert and, in the absence of any other offers, his was the nearest. Upon my refusal he then had the nerve to moan that I had wasted HIS time. I may have lost a few hundred selling to WBAC but it was worth it to avoid that grief.

[@ernieogrady8307]

You where VERY helpful Thank You.

[@jdunn101ify]

Total time wasters in my experience

[@bigalf5173]

i’d never sell to these jokers .i always sell my cars by private sale .never had any problems …I’d rather sell into to a genuine private seller than these clowns .it’s you’re hard earned money ..

[@fax4933]

They lie and rip you off

[@onestepbeyond9120]

I put the wrong reg in, I put AU instead of AO i got an offer on the wrong reg, I had to input the car details, I corrected it straight away funny thing was my new offer was a thousand pound lower..I couldn’t believe it obviously I told them to foxtrot Oscar

[@edwardwright1507]

interesting video. We recently put a car through WBAC. the car dealership quoted 250 for part exchange for a 2009 kia proceed this was due to it only having a couple of weeks left on its MOT. the car did have rust issues underneath. to see them you would need to lift it (sub frame front and rear, and suspension arms) but we tried our luck with WBAC they quoted 1500 unseen. this came down to about 1100. this was 4 times as much as the trade in value, they would have taken more for it as well but because it was a 11 year old car they are capped at what they can value them at. in this situation I would take them on their valuation any day of the week. but at the same time, I'd never buy a car from them. and it makes me always do full background checks when looking at cars even from dealerships as it may look good on the outside but horrors can lay with in.

[@frankanderson3503]

I think you should drive with both hands on the wheel

[@meloaleo]

They expect it to be like brand new at 10 years, then when they sell it on at a dealership or whatever at 3-4 times the price they gave you, they say to the customer ‘it’s 10 years old it’s going to have a few snags’ One rule for them and one rule for others clearly ;)

[@buzzardboypike936]

Just sold my car to them and I was happy better than what people offered me 👍

[@mikef947]

I took my 34,000 mile 61 plate Note to them last week. They quoted me £3.400 online. While there they found 4 stone chips on the bonnet (the car is 8 years old so not unusual) and tried to reduce the price by £1000. Told them no way, I'm in no hurry to sell it.

[@johnbaker2]

They are a bunch of scumbags

[@mihailpop3462]

I sold them my bmw and the initial evaluation was 400 more than I got when I sold it. Anyway I was happy to give it away because the turbo was gone and I did not want to invest in it due to ULEZ coming through in the area where I live.

[@HurpDurpTV]

is there any come back selling them a car that is broke?

[@mihailpop3462]

​@@HurpDurpTV no, no come back.

[@anneoliver7399]

Helpful video, thanks. Suggest you do an Advanced Motorist course to improve your control of the steering wheel though!

[@tonychapman7792]

There's always one... Sigh... Your driving is good mate and the video too

[@florin2212]

When you control the steering wheel like that, like I do, means you have over 20 years driving. Funny, but I know a guy which is not capable driving with radio on or answer the phone while driving , even the phone is connected to hands free device.😂

[@thecarsectionthecarsection6420]

They offer me 700 dollars 2001 BMW 740i back in 2007 when the car still had a little value smh.

[@mimbel12]

Thanks for sharing this valuable information

[@johndavies4644]

Tbh i sold my 13 plate ibiza to arnold clark in 2018 and got 100 less than what i paid for it a year before even thought i chucked 16k on it ( purchased private) they tried cock and bull about 3mm tyres need replaying. I held firm and they payed the value i was given online.

[@adalmartinez2340]

I wanted to check how much they would offer for my 2012 ford fiesta and the offer was 1200$ scam

[@glenmaragon5201]

THE FORMER!

[@MrLOANNY]

Thanks you for infor!! So I went today and I got a decent offer for my car! I think the process is long like 45 min but price was good!!!

[@MrScooby154]

Let's not forget Every time they sell your vehicles at auction they gain another £250 buying fee Andy that's minimum

[@johnofk]

Got my car booked in with them tomorrow. Initial valuation was £10,000 my settlement figure is £10,454. 3 years old with low mileage, I'm hoping they're willing to settle my finance off as the car is practically new. We shall see Thanks for this video

[@robertsouza5576]

Coffee&Tshirts I’m in a similar situation. What was the offer they made you afterwards? Thanks

[@johnofk]

@@robertsouza5576 well the guy took a thorough look at the car, noted down all the little tiny scratches that you'd expect on a 3 year old car, then offered me £8,800 as I have no service history and there's over £800 worth of body work needed, but then said he's willing to give me 7 days to get a service, and all the scratches made for it to be worth the initial offer. So I told him thanks and never went back haha The car is still up my drive

[@Jodyrides]

We were going to buy a new car and my wife had a Suzuki SX4. . 38,000 miles, not a scratch, we are retired, no one ever sat in the backseat. We just put all four rotors and brakes and four new tires on the car five months earlier. NADA and Kelley blue book had the cars value at generally around $7800 retail. my wife had picked out a new Honda CRV.. I put my wife’s Suzuki on craigslist. We got a text from webuyanycar.com offering us $2400 for my wife’s car. The first person to come and look at the car Agreed to buy the car for $7500. The new car dealer with the Honda my wife wanted agreed to do a courtesy trade in, as long as our car passed A dealer inspection, even though, a third-party was buying the car from us, it actually turns out that they were buying the car from the Honda dealer. The advantage to us was, we did not have to pay sales tax on $7500 of the new car price.So it was like getting $8025 for my wife’s car since the dealer agreed to do a courtesy trade. keep in mind, we buy any car offered us $2400 for the car.. I got $5025 more for the car then they offered right now. The funny part is, I never asked them to make an offer on our car..

[@knownsensesocialmedia7618]

What do you want from 10 years old car mate? Off course they will knock it down and it’s same like with houses. You don’t get what you asked and hope for, unless you are desperate you would take anything Clio is not worth this video.
