    so sorry sb, they obviously go to that well known and very large "second hand car" shop dont ya know...
    where did you think they buy stock from? you think they pay the same price for a car that we do? or did you think that its all done via part ex sales...

    If they were any good, they would sell them through CarGiant.
    The greater danger, for most of us, lies not in setting our aim too high and falling short; but in setting our aim too low and achieving our mark

    Flyboy is correct, webuyanycar is basically the [STRIKE]cheating[/STRIKE] buying front for CarGiant. If you sold your car to webuyanycar and it was half decent keep your eye on the cargiant site and watch it appear at about 50% more than they bought it off you lol.

    As for dealers buying from auction it will be dependent on the dealer, some may trade in fleet sales from auction, some may trade new only and some may import. Others will have a mix of auction and trade ins.
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    I thought WBAC was the front for Carcraft and not CarGiant?

    Oops!!! :doh:

    It's not that difficult to get them mixed up though, they're both a bunch of crooks. ;)
