My niece got an offer online for her Ford Mondeo but on inspection they knocked off £1500 for a couple weeks f tiny small stone chips and 4 tyres with only about 4mm of tread on them... She sold it to Evans Halshaw for £300 more than the original WBAC offer

Lol they offered £4,700 for a 62 plate monte in black with 40k miles 1.6 tdi engine in mint condition , after initially offering £5,500 for it online, so it was f*#@ 0££ and walked away

Don't know if you've seen this post: http://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/393571-buying-selling-insuring-your-%C5%A1koda/#entry4605987

 

The guys offer better rates than others... worth a phone call at least if not too late

Facebook seems to be the place to sell at the moment. 

 

WBAC made a risible offer on my daughter's old Polo, After a month of being there, there was no real interest on Ebay (got a couple of offers but way off what she wanted). She put it on FB and it went in 3 days for the asking price.

 

I guess it goes to show you never really know with cars. My son's car sold on Ebay within a week, for the full asking price too.

 

My 2 cents worth of advice; get a junk email address, PAYG sim card and advertise the car in as many places as you possibly can.

Good question everything was said about blemishes before hand , just wanted to rip off a young lad !

I was offered £9,400 for my Mk2 Octavia VRS and I traded it at £10,500 and its up for £12,500

They offered me £50 for my Scenic. They did point out they would waive the £49.99 admin fee. They can be generous like that.

They offered £300 for my Octy1 which I sold within a day on eBay for £900. It went that quick and had so many calls I knew I had obviously under priced it.

WBAC are great for getting rid of lemons fast, especially lemons with intermittent faults.

Are 2nd hand Citroens that popular at auction???

Pal of mine got rid of his honda accord this way....it had a starting fault & dash lit up like a christmas tree so he stopped round the corner,cleared all the faults & drove to the outlet,left it running & bloke walked round it,reved it up then said fine,park it up & i will do the paperwork,he got a good price too,i think he was lucky that the bloke inspecting it wasnt bothered though. 

Well it sold privately for just over 5k so at least thats sorted

FWIW, I found my Skoda dealer was prepared to give me £1,000 more than WBAC's offer. That was for a simple trade sale.
