I did it out of curiosity and had a few emails but then I unsubscribed and haven't had anything since.

I have put car details in when I was looking to buy one and have never had any further emails from them.

Just use 10minutemail for your email: http://10minutemail.com

And use the postcode/address of your local Tesco

Quite easy to unsubscribe. They don't spam you.

The price gets displayed on the screen at the end of the process so no need to get an email - just so you know for next time

They came round my house to collect the car!!

They said I had agreed to sell by using the site and leaving my e-mail address .... they get your address from a triangulation of your ISP details, e-mail and mobile phone location ........ so they took my car away, they paid me 75% of their on screen offer as I didn't tell them it didn't have a full tank of fuel.

they wouldnt take my car as it had had 10 owners?

pslewis

That's because 9 of them had nicked it

They offered a better price than my dealer for the 335d but the timings made a straight px easier.

There's some cowboys out there but I reckon this is a pretty genuine outfit.

They don't do that, you must bring the car to them for an official valuation.

Genuine - not so sure about that.

For a more genuine valuation, try a CAP valuation.

What you all need to know is that WBAC are owned by British Car Auctions. So you will get lower than the CAP price as they sell all the stock at their own auctions for CAP price.

They offered £275 for my car

I sold my Smart 4/2 to them the other year, online they offer a few hundress less than I'd of wanted if I sold private.

so thought I'd go down, they knocked another £108 off for a few scratches and a rattle on 'something'

came away with £1052 well happy, as I could have had more hassle trying to sell private.. (advertising.. ppl haggling.. desperate to sell you'd end up taking a less price).

so I sold to them about 400 less than I wanted.. but in the long run, I did ok out of it. i'd had the car 8years and paid £5200 when i bought it.

hodgy0_2

yep - it is not a bad business model

capitalising on the twin traits of ignorance and lazyness

salsa-king

ignorance in what way?

hodgy0_2

In what the value of their car is, and what It takes to realise that value

salsa-king

how do they do it then?

hodgy0_2

Do what

'In what the value of their car is, and what It takes to realise that value'

Type a reg number into website, click next next next, yes, accept

Then take the car to a place where you get 20% less than if you spent the time and effort selling privately

CREWJ

Considering mine must be worth at least £1100 then that's a 75% drop in price

Tidgy

lol, weripyouoff.com, sorry webuyanycar.com is crap mate.

The brothers that own this, just send the cars to auction knowing they will make a profit on 75% of the cars they sell. They knock money off the offered price 99% of the time as they get the rulers out and measure all dints and scratches..
