@MikeInWimbledon Yes, and there are also many people holding on to their current used cars for longer due to uncertainty about income during the pandemic. Agree with you on WBAC. I suspect my C350e may have appreciated a little bit, but from what I've read about WBAC's business model, they provide very tempting valuations over email etc but that is way higher than what they will actually offer you once they inspect your car.Last month my son has bought a ULEZ BMW X3 (Shudder) for his Labrador and he reports the same thing: that "constipation" in the new car sales pipeline caused by supply disruption and closure of car showrooms has caused used car values to rise. (Apparently car dealers are also making more money on used car sales too)
That said, WBAC are such a lying bunch of devious bustards that they would use any excuse to pull in an innocent private owner, and then invent some devious excuse to renege on their initial price quote. ("Unfortunately, there appears to be dust on the dashboard.")
