They sell the nice ones at Carcraft and the rest go to auctions, the price the muppets who sell their cars to them for is below auction base value, hence WBAC should always make a profit.
Latest advert makes me laugh, profiting out of peoples laziness & stupidity that WBAC is a good idea for selling your car!

They are creating the perception that the car selling process is really dangerous and that to stop a man coming to your house and killing everyone, then driving off in your car, sell it to them and get butt-****ed instead.

The quality stuff does indeed go to carcraft whereas the tat goes to the auction block. They lose money on some cars at the block just like ANY dealer but the profits made elsewhere more than cover any losses, again just like any dealer.
I've worked in the trade for 6 years and in my experience, WBAC do nothing any different to any of the lower end dealers who work on tight margins, ie make a low offer to try and get the p/x as cheap as possible if they want to retail it.

I can only imagine that's it's people desperate for a quick sale (their violent drug dealer needs paying immediately for example) or idiots too lazy or stupid to sell their car properly and I'm thinking most are women?

I bet there is a lot of high end performance stuff, or thirsty 4 x 4 petrol stuff going their way:
a lot of people just won't be able to afford the fuel, or insurance etc.
bit like scoobies: dirt cheap to buy: but not an affordable day to day car by any stretch of the imagination.
I'm sure there are plenty of people with BMW/Mercedes/Audi/etc that just cannot sell them as there simply is no market whatsoever for their cars.

People sell to them because it's simple and easy. People will pay a lot for that convenience!
Especially when certain cars take an age to sell privately ... Scoobies sit in that spot light. Then someone offers something, anything, and they sell.
You can't blame them, really - can you?

The cheap cars go through carcrafts own trade sale, held at various sites, its very rare the top end stuff goes on retail (ie sold at carcraft) They're normally shipped off to auctions and dealer networks.

I tested th ewater with WBAC.com on my Smart Roadster at the start of the year, 2004/54 plate 14k miles. stunning immaculate car with nice extras... they offered £2700!!!
i sold via Pistonheads (it only took 13days from advertising to selling with money in my hand) and I sold at £6100.
Could have got a bit more too but didn't want to look a gift horse etc with such a quick sale of a yellow soft top selling in mid Jan. lol
there is a WBAC.com valuation centre in Nottm.. next door to it has opened up a car sales room.. all nice cars.. does make me think the cars have come from next door!
