Selling private makes me too nervous.

My hubby was offered £8500 by Range Rover for his BMW. WBAC assessed it and offerec £8600 ! We let my son have it for that and he was delighted.

Keep checking WBAC as there prices change all the time

I will definitely keep checking. One offer I would have taken, but then it dropped like a stone and the car ticked over from 59k to 60k, taking another few hundred off it. I am going to update it every time they email me and see what it says, it’s currently pretty pants.
Garages are notorious for offering peanuts for trade ins. And so I have never been willing to drop that much. In this instance I’m getting a company car so I just have a car to sell. I’d like to get a fair price if I can. Keeping everything crossed x

I used the carbuyinggroup to sell my car. Gave me a better online price than WBAC. Come to you, give the car a good check over and the money was in my bank account straight away before they left. Just be honest about the condition of the car when you do the online initial quote. I got what they quoted me online.
