How much is the insurance going to cost you a month, £20...tax maybe £10, so even if it takes 2 months it will of only cost you £60 and you will get a lot more for it. But up to you.

£100 a month.

I've used one. We Buy Any Car. I needed to sell my car quick. It was worth probably £1500, I knew I'd have to take around £1300 for the convenience of a quick sale.

They originally tried to offer me £900. But I just haggled (be very prepared to haggle!) and I got the £1300.

If you can't be bothered with tire kickers, go for it. I'd use them again in the right circumstances.

Wbac are the most above board of these kind of outfits.

The rest seem to mainly be traders that want to buy and always low ball you.

A play on the adverts in the back of various magazines and papers that say they buy any caf for cash. But knowing most who call will be desperate so they makw stuoid offers to take advantage.

wbac seem to work to a crib sheet.

Stonechips and tiny scuffs on alloys or wheeltrims are favourite.

Sell it on a wet day after giving it a proper clean and polish and they will miss all kinds of issues.

Cars are mostly sent to auction. BCA mainly since BCA bought them from the company that owns Carcraft apparently.

They will give you trade price.

Biggest issue is trade in prices are not trade prices as some of the margin on the car you are buying is used to artificially inflate the price.

Stand by your guns and you will get reasonable money for your car.

To have extra leverage book the car in don't just turn up at an office on the off chance even if they phone you up to ask you to do this.

The reason for this is they have a target to make in relations to appointments made and purchases completed. Which might give you a little more leverage.
