    just to say OH was not looking for retail price just an idea of its trade value. I should say that it has rear windows and looks much more like a US Truck than a trade vehicle. Indeed there are a couple more in our neighbourhood owned by families and use a family cars as well as a Citroen Berlingo just round the corner, which is very similar.

    I also got a valuation for my little Skoda Fabia 1.4 automatic with full service history and just pased MOT. It is 10 years old and has done around 38k miles. I am very pleased with it and not thinking of selling and was just interested in the WBAC valuation after OHs experience. Result= £795.

    It's WeBuyAnyCar. Not any Van.

    Sell privately if you want the best price.
  • Whilst it has the same owners, I wonder if https://www.webuyanyvan.com would give a more representative offer?

    He recently had a new clutch and tyres fitted and put it through its MOT and thought he might treat himself to a newer model.

    and he is worried about WBAC undervaluing it? He clearly has money to chuck away getting work done and immediately wanting to swap.

    I have a feeling the algorithm used in their software automatically defaults to £50 for cars/vehicles they have never or rarely bought.
