After my original bad experience i began to wonder, is it really possible to sell your car to the trade for a fair trade price ?
so i widen my hunt for other websites offering the same service, two likely sites come up and i contact both
www.wewillbuyyourcar.com
www.sellcar-uk.com
My car is a ford KA 1.3 style which i bought new in april 2008 FFSH and 16,000 miles.
book trade price is £4000 retail £5000 looking on trader private sales seem to be selling for £4500
online quote from wewillbuyyourcar comes in bang on trade value at £4007 which is a figure i would be happy to sell at.
online quoting system on sellcar does not give me a figure just says to contact the office to get a quote (why bother with the online quote if it does not actually quote

)
I tried calling them but did not even manage to get a reply so that ruled them out immediatley.
So i go ahead and accept the offer from wewillbuyyourcar, get a call back this evening to confirm details and arrange a collection date to my convience. had a very interesting chat with the chap too after i pointed out that they should change their name to avoid being tarred with the webuyanycar brush. anyway it turns out that wewill..... was started nearly 2 years previously to webuyanycar and in a perverse khama they get many customers from the adverts placed by their rivals so seems that sometimes it works in your favour that another company copies your idea and name but then pays all the advertising
Very professional service from wewillbuy and the deal is being done on monday, will report back on my experience
