    Excuse the french but when they come to see your car they won't offer the same price,they will bid you in the !!!!!!!! and charge you an administration fee for doing so.
    They prey on the desperate to sell.
    We buy any car are a front for a car supermarket.
    Part ex at the garage or sell it privately.

    So you paid them £20 or £50? i guess depending on which site you used?

    My bet is around £700 - £800.

    But will you post an honest answer? Or tell us all you got £3000 ?

  • Well, nothing exciting to report!

    I had a phone call early this morning confirming the appointment and was waiting for the "we need appointment fee" request, but not mentioned.

    Chap turned up as arranged, and immediately questioned what I had been offered via his web-site and how long ago, which I thought seemed a little odd, he then went on to show me the list price, retail price etc, and said that there was no way he could come close to what the Part X was.

    He didn't try to hassle me in the slightest and left advising that the Part X was a good offer!

    I bet they offer less than £1400 when they see it.

    At least he didn't insult.
