So we have all seen the the we buyanycar.com adverts(if you live in the UK) (if not check them out www.webuyanycar.com) what they do is pretty simple and can be read from the name, they buy any car new or old, and you can get a estimated price online in minutes. Now i read that they get you the estimated price and then when you turn up at the dealer it is a set goal to mark that price down with 16-28 pro cent no matter whether there is anything wrong or not. Okay that's bad but not enough, they then sell the cars again tough one of their companies one being carcraft.co.uk. So what i did was go on carcraft find a car on sale where you can see the number plat then plug it into webuyanycar.com and see what they would give for a car being sold by themselves i will let you look at the next two pictures so you can see what happened.
Got the car now went onto webuyanycar.com and put in the number plat and got a quote price.
They would only pay 7 235£ which is only the starting price then if this was actually a car i owned, when I arrived at the sales office their goal would be to take a further 16-28 pro cent off the price. That would mean I would only get around 5 209.2£- 6 077.4£ for the car they are trying to sell on their other site for 9 795£ that's nearly 10K for a car they are only paying around 5-6K for, that's a mark up of 100%. I guess that is just business but since it is regarding cars I really don't like the way they do business, I prefer when people deal with each other there is something personal about selling your car on auto-trader having people come and looking at the car, where you will have a talk about the final selling price person to person. So please do all you can to avoid webuyanycar.com it is only a quick cash solution where you get really badly ripped off.
