Liberty Posted June 24, 2021 Report Share Posted June 24, 2021 Won’t the prices being offered take a dive once manufacturing gets back to normal? I think so but maybe not impact our cars as much as some others.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t forget you’d get at least £41k selling private WBAC will make a good profit on your 38k! Mine was valued recently at £36k on WBAC. I paid £39k nearly 5 years ago, and I was told it would fetch circa £40k private!!😀👍 Edited June 24, 2021 by martyn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimmy p Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 The problem with selling is buying something else. Everything else is in short supply too and massively overpriced. I sold my BMW m240i just over 2 months ago before it went silly. Now I can't find anything to buy unless I want to pay a 10k premium over what the cars were about 10 weeks ago!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Menoporsche Posted June 25, 2021 Report Share Posted June 25, 2021 News article today on stealing catalytic converters says how the prices of precious metals has rocketed due to pandemic travel restrictions. Presumably all that feeds into the global manufacturing and pricing difficulties. Sell high, buy low. Sell for the profit now, bank it, wait a year for the crash, then pick up something very nice.

I can't help but think the F-Type is all about the looks and the noise....I need to stop thinking about it.... I’ve got one, and you’ve absolutely nailed it! Looks good, sounds great and the V8 is crazy fast. But it’s not a sports car - kind of a mini GT (without the boot space!). I’m thinking about 981ing it next time.

martyn Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 Just gone back onto WBAC and updated my mileage by adding another 100 miles and valuation has gone up again from £36,140 to £36,500 in 6 days. So still increasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tailslides Posted June 29, 2021 Report Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) My 2015 981 base on 9th September 2020 was £26,300, on 19 March, £28,820, today £33,000. Don't want to sell though, paid £38k back in 2016 so slow depreciation currently. Edited June 29, 2021 by tailslides Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davey P Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 Latest increased valuation on mine has come back from WBAC, and FINALLY it has gone a few hundred quid over what I paid for it from RPM Technik 4 months ago - Woohoo, quids in, who ever said cars are not a good investment!

daveg Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 I checked mine yesterday and it’s £5500 more than I paid 6 months ago. It’s academic though as I’m not in the least bit interested in selling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mattman42 Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 has anyone actually taken WBAC up on any of these offers recently? Be interested to see if they stand up to the increasing prices. was tempted to sell the x6 for a quick profit, but SWMBO would chop my nether parts off with a teaspoon of I did 😫 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's worked for some but not sure it's for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They did stand to the price minus a reduction for an alloy with a scuff and a couple of chips in the bonnet. They took about £300 off which I thought was very reasonable and expected Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost seems like one of those urban myths of finding anyone who’d actually sold a car to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nixster Posted July 2, 2021 Report Share Posted July 2, 2021 They’re just a trading name for one of the auction houses BCA was it? Seems to me they would have a good idea of prices and a standard deduction rate card as they do end of lease inspections also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greenman Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Yes to those that are interested in such things the peak may have passed. I got a valuation couple of few weeks ago (just for the giggles), today has seen a drop of £1100 from that value (pretty much in line with Alank quotes above.

Scubaregs Posted July 12, 2021 Report Share Posted July 12, 2021 Recently sold my DD Corsa, WBAC offered £8180, Arnold Clark offered £8782. Expected to get knocked down a bit and as the car was pristine I was going to walk away if they played silly buggers. "Tidy car sir, £8784." So £2 extra. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually, it was less than a five minute walk. 😄 I honestly think I would have struggled to sell it for that privately, plus having the usual know shows, tyre kickers etc. Lynn suggested using the £2 for a lottery ticket, frivolous woman that she is.
