WBAC Values

It could be more...

I put my 2016 Skoda Superb on a Carwow auction a couple of weeks ago and was offered £7900. Miles better than WBAC which was £7300. I wasnt quite in a position to sell just then so I turned the offer down but made a mental note of the dealer who offered that price which was only a few miles from where I work.

Later, I called that dealer, took it round after work and after inspection, he offered me £8k.

Makes sense because you've cut out the middle-man. I assume the actual amount paid would have been over £7900 via carwow and then they take a cut before giving you £7900, although I don't know for certain.

Probably charge the dealer something like 10% on top.

It's a set fee per range of selling price, it is online somewhere but I can't find it at the moment i's not a huge amount.

I've recently sold a car via Motorway. You'll get a reserve price estimate before listing once you take photos of the car you need to call them and they then take money off it for any damage etc. It then goes up and dealers bid you then get the option to accept or not even if it is over reserve, mine went for 20% over reserve.

What car are you looking sell ?
 
for Kristmaces' favourable carwow £7.9K offer,
presumably dealer knew he was geographically close to owner so may give a favourable offer since lower costs involved, and easier comeback if car showed any unlisted issues.

I don't know whether the dealer knew I was only 20 odd miles away, but it certainly helped me decide knowing I could easily drop it off.
