Tried my Sport out on the WBAC website yesterday,the car is not even 6 months with less than 1500 miles on the clock and the price they offered?,a fantastic £5050-00 !,what a rip off.To put it another way my car has loss 51% of its value in less than 6 months according to WBAC figures.Eh,I don't think so!.

Its only good if u have a sought after car or its MINT.

Otherwise expect trade value prices.

Thats my experience.

(SOLD my BMW 120d with WBAC and thy knock £100 per teeny weeny ding on body work etc ...)

Lol, I've just tried getting a price for a Citigo Elegance which I haven't picked up yet and the price quoted is £8779. Almost 2k less than the price I'm paying, hehe!

 

On a serious note I'm going to try out WBAC and WWAC next week to try sell our 10 year old Kia Picanto. I'm not expecting much but as I've got the week off work I'd thought I'd give them a try and see what they offer before putting the car on Autotrader/Gumtree and ebay.

According to the What Car? depreciation guide a 3 door Sport is worth £7000-00 or 68% of its value after 1 year which sounds right.

I used the WBAC valuation before I traded my sport in.

2600 miles, 9 month old

Came up at £6050 lol

Traded it in for a lot more!

We buy any car are a joke, as we all know. But for those that don't it's easy money I suppose.

 

I had a little play with there website for my Mk1 MX-5, if I remember it was a paltry £200, I sold it for £1800 to the first person who viewed it.

I tried a few times on WBAC. Mk mk3 astra 1.6 8v they said 175. My Masda 323 2.0 V6 they said 175 and my mini studio 2 they said 100

on the new car - you pay the vat, so that covers most of the initial deprecation

 

one the second note, please dont be serious. these sites have no interest in you. they just want the best markup for their resale price.

they are going to sell to traders, who wont pay good money and need a markup on top of that.

 

They introduce a second layar of commissions that need to come out of one pocket -- yours.

 

their only value is for lazy people with no care for loosing money.

Had a email off WBAC this morning saying the value of my Sport had increased 'due to demand' and indeed the price offered had increased by a massive £20-00!.What planet are these guys on?.

Wow is that after you filled it with fuel  :wonder:

Just thought I share my experience with wewantanycar.com...

 

We have just sold our 2004 Kia Picanto with WWAC in Leeds. Their website initially offered £1100. But after they 'inspected' it their computer system offered £550 which was £150 less than the dealer offered as P/X.

 

I asked for them to revise the offer considering the low mileage of our car and at then after some discussions we settled for £900 minus admin fees so we got £840 which was better than what the dealer offered.

 

I could have got about £1100 if I sold privately but I didn't fancy the hassle.

 

I did some research and these guys are part owned by Manheim Auctions who own a wide range of automotive companies including www.motors.co.uk and www.wewantanycar.com

 

Speaking to the guy he mentioned their aim is to buy cars competitively and shift them through Manheim's auction business.

 

Note: As I said this is our experience and this might not be for everyone.

This is experience of people I know.

Sometimes they can be better than a dealer, other times way off the mark

Just tried again and the price is now £4175-00,or in 2 months my Sport has lost £875-00 in value.

These sites are just the automotive equivalent of payday loan companies or the C***s at Bright House - Their entire business model is to offer the consumer a bad deal and it doesn't matter if 90% know this and avoid them. The 10% of desparate people or gullible fools who fall for the cheesy adverts will make them plenty of money

I hope you are buying new.

The trade in price on my fully optioned (other than the sunroof) Elegance 5 door was £8,500 after three months and 2,000 miles.

That's with Skoda.

Strangely WBAC initial value on my Vrs was £11250.00 which I did not think was bad ( paid around £15k over a year ago) but on my late dads brand new (well 3 month old) I10 with 150miles on the clock not even had a tank of fuel through it, offered £5.5k nearly £3k less than the receipt in the glovebox!

Not sure where they get their values from either.

For the hell of it I valued my nearly 1 year old citigo on WBAC and they come up with.......... 3K

I've seen local dealers selling 8month old cars with 5k on for 9-10k!

I got a reasonable price off them for a diesel 02-plate corsa. They never even noticed it was full of K-Seal

Just done mine again,now down to £3500-00,thats down £675-00 in less than 2 months.If I was to p/ex my car today I would want at least £7700-00 so a slight difference in the prices then!.

WBAC varies a lot.

 

My Octavia at the beginning of the year was down to 8.5k (do what!!) now its up to just a bit under 10k!

 

My citigo is £6945 with 12.5k on the clock. Less there "admin/damage" differences.

My Sport is 10 months old with 2200 miles and is worth half the value of yours then!.I must have upset WBAC in a previous life!.

I just valuated my sport and guess what.

 

8 months old, 8200 miles and they quoted £3056. REALLY??

I am sure if I wait another 5 months and value the same car then they will quote me "just come and hand over the keys and go back and settle your finance". 

really.....that's shocking!

 

 

Just entered my reg on their site, that's until I got to the second page, they want email and phone number. Not likely.

 

Got part ex value of £7k last month against a new Skoda so anywhere between that and £8k private will do nicely as a guide.
