Young couple came in yesterday driving a 2017 Yeti. Told me they had had an amazing offer on the car, had to take it and were now looking for something else. They bought it in June last year for £10500 and WBAC have offered them £15300, therefore near enough a £5000 profit in a year. I check CAP and its £14150 clean. He said he was dubious so went to his local site where they only knocked off £100. On the flip side, I did buy two privates last week at £700 and £400 under the offers the owners had received from WBAC and Cazoo. Owners expected to be messed around once on site so would rather support local business. I still feel I paid too much, but at least that's two cars those assholes didn't get their hands on.

If you offer what you are going give them they don't turn up , simple . People are inherently greedy , so high offer gets them on site then appraise the car in question and offer whats its worth , All used cars are different and I've only ever seen two cars in decades that were what I'd call looked after . Owners know their car is a pile of shite and they tell lies to sell it , They just need to be told face to face . High offer gets the face to face meeting . They wont block you , Just use an email thats made up

The car CAPs clean at £2600 & thought an offer of £1200 would be competitive. Fuck me, I had to read it twice cos I thought I’d misunderstood something.
