Selling to 'We Buy Any Car'

Jon D · 08-10-2016, 09:59 AM

Has anyone dealt with the above company?
I'm getting a new 640i in a few weeks and I could get at least £1.3k more by seeling direct as opposed to a trade-in with BMW. Just wondered how secure the cash transfer would be.
Ant advice much appreciated - thanks.

No issues whatsoever, quick look over the car, test drive round the car park. Agree on a fee and the money is in your bank 3 days later. I got 2k more for my car compared to what BMW were offering. They will knock you down just be prepared for that

Thanks for your help. I've got nothing to lose as I already have a firm price for my car from the Edinburgh dealer.
I'll try them just before I take delivery and if they try to knock me down too much I'll just trade in.
Good to know they can be relied upon - thanks.

I had a mate sell a car that was virtually on it's last legs to them and they didn't notice the terminal engine problems! But that was a few years ago. And since them i've heard they are very picky! Probably because of people like him!!

They will pick out every scratch and dent and try to knock £100 off for each - stand firm and best of luck.

Thanks, if they start getting daft I'll just wave them a cheery 'bye' with a metaphorical two fingers!
I've got a firm figure from the dealer to fall back on and if the difference is less than a few hundred that's what I'll do.
