    Cazoo are basically cutting the middle man out.
    The way it worked before, WBAC (owned by British car auctions) bought the car from you, then the likes of Cazoo went along to the auction and bought stock at a price greater than £17000.
    Who knows how much more though, until the auction is done (then there's commission to pay as well).
    Boom, WBAC have made their profit from all that.
    Now Cazoo arwe buying straight from you, no middle man auction, so can afford to pay more to secure it.

    Also BCA punt the best cars out through their Cinch brand, so if it is a good seller in exceptional condition Cazoo would never even get the chance to buy it through BCA.

    I want to go back to The Olden Days, when every single thing that I can think of was better.....

    Also worth trying Arnold Shark Clark.  They're offering £2,600 more than WBAC for my car.  Cazoo were +£400 more than WBAC.

    Cazoo paid £19,100 for my 5-year old Sorento in July.

    They refurbished the alloys and gave it a decent valet.  They then advertised it on their site for £22,000 in late august.  It sold in a week or so.

    Some of the rise would have been because car prices rose over August.  But I was very happy with what I was paid.
