We buy any car
We buy any car
I'm selling my Toyota GT86 so I thought I'd give it a go to avoid the usual tyre kickers,and how wrong I was! Firstly they check the paperwork ,all fine,then they go onto inspection or should I call it deductions like small repaired chip on the windscreen. Minus £600 /per stone chip minus £128 each chip/£400 for a STD .
I walked out of their office laughing......

Re: We buy any car
Yeah I tried them once to sell a van. So rude and as you say knock money off for every little mark. I walked as well. I then took the same van back 6 months later after it developed an Ecu fault which should have written it off. Disconnecting the battery for 30 seconds allowed you to drive about 10 miles before it would die. I stood there and took the abuse secretly laughing inside. Oh yes one for the good guys
Best of luck with the sale Andrew. I am putting off selling a car myself at the moment. Just all hassle and after reading Reg's story this morning I'm feeling less inclined to market it.

Sad about Reg's attempted thief of this M3 but well aware of that type of thing when selling a car .no 1 -have car open before they arrive,so no signal from the remote can be picked up .no 2 don't let them hold the key or fob because they can ,what we call in the trade "sniff the key". And finally it wasn't me Reg I would of opened your house up first and found the key on the kitchen table?

Re: We buy any car
I had the same with them a few years ago, they really are a bunch of sharks.
Most of the time, the people who go there really need to sell, so take it up the chuffer.
The people before me went in with a tidy enough Focus that they had been quoted at £4k for but in the end were offered £1,800.
Unless your car has a fault you want to hide, don't bother.

As in there was no evidence that indicated a Nomad was used to drag the car from your driveway or that a atom with a shifty looking windscreen was involved either.

Re: We buy any car
sold my family car on ph last year
was surprised at how low the initial offers were from the outset
immediately asking what your bottom line was and trying to haggle over the phone
seems a bit pointless without even seeing it............
