This isn't my experiance with them at all, if you are honest about your cars condition the value too is honest, in fact the last car we did they said we had been too harsh and moved it up a band giving us more money.

If you have described car correct, you get what they are offering.
No tricks, take them a perfect describe car that is a wreck then yep they gonna knock you down for incorrectly describing it.

I’ve sold a car to wbac and not had any issues. Just makes me think sometimes it’s more to entice, possibly dependent on which branch you use and who you deal with.
I preferred cazoo though.

I was overly critical of mine when Mannheim came out and they actually upped the final offer.If you have described car correct, you get what they are offering.
I updated the mileage for the valuation and didn't see much of a difference. Updated value email now £8,210.
Quite interesting. Used car prices seem to be going up, rather than easing.
It depends on the car, but there is no big crash happening, used car values will hold now going forward far better than past years, simply because ICE cars are coming to an end and new cars are a lot more expensive as is the finance for new cars as well.
As such the market for used cars shall remain very strong, keep prices solid.

Thats a relief if true for my Defender still. Haven't checked for weeks now as I'm holding on until I can sell in July
If that's the case I may as well buy now. I have been holding off in hope that things would ease.
While my car has increased in value, the cars I want to upgrade to are all much more expensive and have increased by a similar percentage.

I put my E-PACE into WBAC last week and they offered £30,000 then I put it in again yesterday and it's gone up to £31,240.
Wait a few days until their "increased offer" email.

It really isn't a WBAC flex. You can get increased or more generic 'update your offer' type emails depending on whether the car has genuinely increased or not.
Not sure what you mean. If I go to the WBAC site and put my car details in I get one valuation. There are no options to increase the value without changing my description of the car.
If I leave it a week, without changing any of the car details, I receive an email from WBAC with an improved offer. There isn't a way (that I know of) to get that increased offer without waiting.
My point was that the increased offer was a genuine increase in the market value of your vehicle. It isn't a marketing ploy to get you cheap and then bump it up if you don't bite.
unfortunately chatgpt seems to have waiting list (for the new version announced today too) so I couldn't ask it to explain the I-pace one,
maybe the chancellor was an early adopter though ?
Ran a couple of Part Exchange Quotes today and was pleasantly surprised, CarShop / WBAC and Cazoo all very similar for me.
According to Cazoo my vehicle is in demand!
After the attempted break in I did run some quotes and was surprised how it had dropped significantly, but good to know it's now being offered strong money, now to scroll through Autotrader.
£19,125 for a 2019 Polo GTI+ (Fair bit of dollar for what is essentially just a Polo, kind of)

Sold a Transit Custom to them this week. Got what they offered initially, no knock down at all.
Got £1000 more than I paid for it new 2 years ago.
