Reasonable valuation....

[Airbusdriver]

Ran a webuyanycar quote for my 2012 c63 coupe with 18k miles - £31495. Seems quite generous as I thought they offered rock bottom?
I am considering changing cars as I am struggling to justify the outlays for our Discovery that does about 4-5k a year and the c63 which does about the same. Driving the 12 miles to and from work 4 times a week seems like a real waste especially as 9 of those are on the M23 and with 2 young children I choose not to /dont get the opportunity just to go for a drive.
Combined costs of about £1500 a month seems a bit excessive for 2 cars that dont get properly used and as we are about to do another extension to the house lenders dont look too favourably at those sort of expenditures. I have been informed that the Disco isn't the one to go!
My wife did buy me an AMG hour at brooklands though so I may change my mind again after that!
Anyone else thought this then regretted selling?

I have a friend in the trade who tells me that wbac are paying CAP good at the moment as they want stock expect that to change in the new year

I don't know for sure but in the past I've been told that wbac offer good figures initially to pull you in then knock you down considerably when you go to their place for the inspection.

If you do it, stand firm on price or drive away.

Ant.

It's wbac's common practice of offering high at first and then making up excuses to offer less on the day. So stick to the price or show them the door. simple

I paid that from a main dealer for my 2012 Coupe a few months ago, with slightly less miles. Result!

To be fair i would have thought that the chances are a "new" car like a c63 amg shouldn't have many things they could price "knock" unless it hasn't been cared for, which I doubt.

My neighbour just sold a 2012/62 plate c63 coupe with PPP for £36k trade to a dealer. Dealer sold it in at £38k within a week.

It's generally because cars have minor damage that hasn't been declared when doing the online valuation. Quite a few owners are unaware of minor dings (particularly tiny dents where there's no paintwork damage). WBAC will spot these though - the inspection is pretty thorough.

I got exactly the quoted figure for the car I sold them.

WBAC paid exactly what they offered for mine. If you're honest & up front with your appraisal there shouldn't be an issue...
