Default We buy you car? Anyone ever used?

Just ran my 51 plate WRX through a couple of these "We buy your car" websites and price that was qouted is higher than dealers have been offering me for px.

Run cars through here in the past only to be insulted so this seemed strange.

Mind you, £3400 for a 51 plate bugeye with 53k on the clock sure is cheap!

Maybe I should stick it on Autotrader cheapand get rid that way? Anyone ever sold a car through one ofthese websites? I need to get rid quick, before Xmas, don't want to give it away but maybe it's time to cut my losses....damn this credit crunch.

Cheers,
Justin

One of the 'we buy your car' sites is run by Carcraft, one of my customers gave it a try. When he got there for them to 'appraise' his car, they tried to sell him another vehicle. When he wouldn't go along with this they eventually offered to buy his car but used every little mark and scratch to offer less than the online valuation.

I would think that you could easily get more than £3400 for a tidy low mileage bugeye WRX. Don't be greedy but £4k-£4500 should be achievable ?

Thing is mate with these companys its cash when you need it if you dont take your chance selling.If you dont need the cash straight away you can put it up for sale and take your chance. But imho that is way to cheap with that miles
