I found 'sell my car instantly' on Autotrader gave me the best price by over £1000. It's operated by Manheim auctions and was trouble free.0 -
I sold via Motorway. Indicative price given. Got a phone call at the end of the auction day to say a particular delaer had offered the price previously indicated.
The dealer sent avehicle movement guy to collect the car. He had been told he had to do an inspection, whch he wasn't very fmailiar with. He actually spotted loads of extra scratches and a kerbed alloy - that wasn't there when I took the photos - .
He then had to phone the dealer with his report - which ended up being a "yes, its pretty muh as per the photos"!!!!!!! - Dealer paid the money in to my bank account before I left.
I am not usre whar the dealer will have thought about the accuracy of his report when they go the car in the flesh
