mic Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Heard the annoyingly catchy tune on the radio and telly a few times so curiousity got the better of me..... My00 uk turbo, avg miles, full service history, good condition throughout, their offer? ..... £910 ...... Just wondering if anyone has ever even considered using this thieving shower of bast@rds?
myles Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I'd use them............. as kindling for the fricking bonfire.
jonboywrx Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 they just offered me £1570 for my 98 classic, 120k miles im going to take it when ive sold all my good bits! ;-)
terzo neil Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 i tried for my terzo for a laugh offtered me for a my98 with 100k on the clock................ £1975
stum450n Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Like you, I looked into it out of curiosity with no real intention of having them buy my car and to be honest, i was surprised by the offer given for my 2005 Sport: £6,000 I've seen them sell for less privately! That said, there's no way I would ever sell them my car, just because they quoted me 6k, doesn't mean I'll get it now does it!
scoobykev Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 i tried for my terzo for a laughofftered me for a my98 with 100k on the clock................ £1975 Did the same with mine and got the same value, my 98 with 89k.

stum450n Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 06 plate WRX 22k on the clock - £5700 Hmmmn, something's going wrong then if they quoted me more for a 54 sport with 66k on the clock!!!! Think they just make it up as they go along!
scoobysailor Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 (edited) We got a quote for Lisa'a car - an '04 Fiat Punto Sporting, 38k, black metallic paint, alloy wheels, good nick in and out with long MOT and TAX. Glass's says £2700 - they offered us £2100. We thought for the sake of a quick sale and no hassle we would give them a bash. Took it through to Bellshill and from the moment we walked through the door were getting a bad feeling about them. To cut a long story short the guy went out for a wee spin in the car, came back and told us it needed new brakes (serviced a couple of weeks ago), new tyres (one is brand new) and a paint job (it's nearly as shiny as my scooby!). He then put all this into his computer and and offered us £1600. We closed the door behind us as he finished the sentence!! Oh it's still for sale if anybody is interested - offers over £2100 Edited September 16, 2009 by scoobysailor
mic Posted September 16, 2009 Author Posted September 16, 2009 Wierd how they offered me sooo little for mine, I was completely honest, more than 4 owners from new and modified, maybe that's hurt the value quite a bit!!!
sparky_sj04 Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Punted my fiances 206 with them and got a decent price for it. My mate has also just had a Clio 197 valued with them at a very good price. There's an office in Hillington. Maybe not the best place for cherished cars like some of the scoobs on here though, never going to get top money. When I was in the guy had just bought a low mileage Series Mcrae for £1800.
irish al Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 Sold a car to these people before www.bestcarbuyer.co.uk Very good service, got offered 500 over book price. They used a company who supplies drivers to come collect the car. Cash in the bank within 15 minutes and the driver waited until I checked the money was there. Al

gus the bus Posted September 16, 2009 Posted September 16, 2009 I've just sold the Mrs car to wewillbuyyourcar.com (she was needing a wee van) they offered a VERY decent price for it and came from Hull to pick it up from the doorstep. The guy checked the car once over, they payed the £'s that were agreed in the online valuation and didnt leave until the £'s were securely in my account via CHAPS payment. All in all in took about 20mins of my time and I got a much better deal on the van without the trade-in.
ciaranrb5 Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 My mates 97 vectra failed it's mot and had no tax and he got £250 he was well pleased as it is alot more than if he weighed it in
sti pretender Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 Wierd how they offered me sooo little for mine, I was completely honest, more than 4 owners from new and modified, maybe that's hurt the value quite a bit!!! They must know how you drive it.
14N-FR Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 I guess I am the only one that had a good experience with webuyanycar I sold my two year old Astra 1.9CDTi SRi to them back in May to buy my STi. I had the car advertised for a month with a people interested but when it came to the crunch it had to go so I could buy the STi. I did an online quote and was given a figure that was to be taken with a pinch of salt. Went along for an evaluation (the car was spotless with only 19K on the clock) and they gave me an offer that was around £100 below what similar cars were selling for on Autotrader/eBay/Car Mart so I took it. The sales guy did say that cars that are under 24 months have a chance of getting close to market value and everything else older would be priced down.
frenchy Posted September 17, 2009 Posted September 17, 2009 webuyanycar offered me just over £5000 for my Audi A3. Book price is still £8000. Managed to sell it privately for £7100 though
