WBAC Values

[ChrisD.]

I tried a few local car dealers and got another £1k higher than the WBAC value.

Most dealers are reluctant to buy stock unless it's part of a PX deal. Has that changed with the recent demand?

it must have because Porsche reached out to me directly when my car was advertised on Autotrader.

Goodbyecar dropped another £1.5k, so now 2.5k off WBAC.

They don’t seem to be changing otherwise, wonder if the market is steadying a bit?

It could be, but it could also be that they know they have lots of part ex cars coming in due to the new reg cards out in September, after all some people actually think that is still relevant.

Car dependant? I just had an email saying my car has gone up.

This is getting daft now

Just for a laugh I put my 428i GC in last night. Bought at £17,750 from a dealer only on Friday. They offered me £18k!

Crazy.... at least you know you got a decent price!

WBAC

TTRS worth £3k more than I paid over a year ago for it.

My little EV worth the same so at least not lost anything.

Crazy!

It was a local independent but the right sort of car for them ie full main dealer history, no bodywork issues etc. We have quite a few good independent dealers round here and only 1 wasn't interested but they tend to specialise in the very low mileage cars.

When selling my Golf MK7 a VW/Audi garage phoned me and took it away, easiest sale I've had.

I think that's not always true. Dealers will buy stock if they need it and it's the right sort of car.

Its the first time I've seen signs like "cars for cash" outside local indi garages. One just down the road from me had no stock at all at one point during lockdown. They were desperate.

WBAC offered me £26500 for my Suzuki Jimny with 12k on the clock, which is nice as it only cost me £20k brand new 2.5y ago

isn’t that because you can’t buy them new any more and there’s very strong demand for them still?

Local BMW dealer offered me nearly £3k less than WBAC which I pointed out straight away, they seemed surprised when I mentioned it.

Dealer was £1k less, I mentioned it and they just pointed to WBAC being a terrible business model etc

lol and dealers aren't? They'll do anything to get your custom I guess.

Still worth checking with a dealer if you are selling. Vauxhall paid us £500 more than WBAC this week. Straight sale with money in the bank on handover. Easiest sale ever.
