I saw the Ad on tv for this web site stating they will buy any car! I decided to put my details in for a 2003 JDM STI with 27k miles and 1 owner and it came up with £4,575 subject to inspection. PMSFL I don't think I would have any trouble selling the car for that price never mind an inspection. I see all these place are coming out now to take advantage of people who have no choice

If people cant wait to sell and are desperate due to whatever reason then companies like this will always be around after all they are only like the cash convertor type places. if you don't need the money and can sell it yourself or part ex it then you don't need the place, some people sadly will need it as it will probably be the only way to get food on the table in these times.

These people really annoy me and when I was selling my Dad's car he looked into them to get a valuation and it was a joke. I advertised the car on Autotrader and on the day the advert expired they sent me a text with their url I readvertised the car and sold it for much more than they were offering

Theres one of these sites for selling your house too. I was quoted £180k, sold on the market for £235k! There for people in a real fix, sad really taking advantage of the desperate.

My family have used them once after a bereavement and we had a car to shift quickly, they offered more than the dealer we bought it from and a mate who was trying to sell his old company car used them after 3 months of private sale ad's, they offered a low'ish value but still more than he had paid the lease company for it so he was up on the deal.

Yes they will offer low values but circumstances can dictate they are a easy route, also the more unusual or exotic the car the less value they are realistically going to be bidding, they work on high volume and low margin sales, shifting the cars quickly onto other traders.

Not great certainly but thought I'd post something positive
