There was a long thread on this a few weeks ago, started by me.

I had an interview to work there and exposed the con; the staff are paid on how much they "chip" you on the original online price, an average of about £300, done with the help of a paint thickness meter and the fact that most punters are desperate and have no other option.

I was told to expect annoyed and sometimes threatening customers and that I would have 15 minute slots to se a seller, chip the price, do the deal and move on.

They buy the cars a lot cheaper than trade price due to the fact if people make the decision to go over there and sell the car, they will accept a lower offer.  They then just sell the cars back to the trade.

They have to offer at least £50 as they are called "we buy any car" to comply with trading standards.

The reality is they will give you nothing like your car is worth.

Not a good firm to deal with

They will buy my car for.........£745.

They can break off.... my car isn't for sale

This is how it works...

1). Webuyanycar give you an over-inflated price online.
2). You say 'great' and hop in the car
3). You drive to Car Craft (hmmm)
4). They appraise the car and off something close to that as a deposit on one of their cars
5). You say "I want the money"
6). They evaluate the car further, the price for cash drops to something insulting, all the time you are fending off over-eager salesmen trying to flog you one of their cars (on credit).

Chance of leaving with any money at all?  Slim.

Chance of wanting to shovel someone in the head within minutes of arriving?  Very high.

I'm going to ask them to buy my Matchbox car

Points 1 & 2 are not doing it for me 

[Squealey]

They seem to fall into the same catagory as all those loan companies (some of which advertise typical apr at over 2300%, and no, thats not a typo )

They are vultures, out there to prey on the weak and the desperate. If I (by that I mean my wife) didn't have my head screwed on I would be their perfect customer, i.e, redundant, large family, absolutley zero money and in huge debt

I hate this type of company with the same passion I hate debt collection call centres and door step operatives. It may just be a job to them, a way of paying their bills, but they are scum, I always make sure to ask them if their parents are proud of their chosen occupation!

[Squealey]

Just tried valueing my wife Audi 80 TDi, they say they cant do it as the car is probably a prestige or high performance model and some numpty will call me tomorrow (not on the number I gave them they wont )

God I feel dirty now!!!!

What a shower of scum sucking sh!ts!!!!!! (have I mentioned I don't like them )

[Vamps]

Mitsubishi £285
Mig £275

    As said, just a way to pray on those desperate for some cash.....

[Amigo]

A similar site was posted a year or so back. They offered me £175 for the Beastie but i'd have to swap the private plate back first so nothing in effect.
    Free MV6 anyone??

[Moos3h]

They'll give me good money for my Veyron, shame it's just a crappy picture I drew on the back of the gas bill.

Still, I'll enjoy spending the cash!

[Hannah Judes Dad]
