Humans like easy, hassle free transactions and as such business is booming for WBAC and as a result BCA. Maybe the cars are OK but steer clear of the vans Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TROOPER88 Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 1 hour ago, Codfanglers said: Assume that's a trade-in that is too old for Listers to retail. Weren't independent dealers moaning last year that WBAC / BCA / Cinch were scewing the market by cutting dealers out? They accused WBAC of paying more than trade price, Cinch charging less than retail and the independents not getting a sniff of the better cars that traders would otherwise have put through BCA? Predictions of where prices are going,(or whatever WBAC pricing model takes into account of) could have changed if they are now only offering £9150 for an "easy deal" on a Gen2 BoxsterS. Yes, this is correct. I don’t want to jeopardise my membership of BCA by giving away too much info but the Cayman sold to a Billinghurst dealer who those who frequent this site regularly will know. It is a stunning example. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edc Posted November 2, 2022 Report Share Posted November 2, 2022 Totally off topic but I don't know if the model has changed but when speaking with a few small ish dealers ie barn or lock up for stock and selling from a very small pitch or home, I've had it said to me on multiple occasions that they have 'agreements' with local dealers or dealer groups for stock. They basically get called first but there is little leeway in the price or choice in what they buy. If the small time dealer gets picky then they lose the supply and somebody else will pick it up.

Ninesomething Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Might be a nice low mileage car but poverty spec according to the ad. To me that's worth somewhere between 16 and 20k right now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Menoporsche Posted November 3, 2022 Report Share Posted November 3, 2022 Of course all! I've seen at least 3 on here over the last 10 years. So it's guaranteed. Your car is worthless. It will need an engine replacement for a total cost that you could have spent on 2 Ferraris. Which means your children, and your children's children, will all be forced to live on the streets and die of hunger. An engine builder told me that, so it's FACT. Unless you buy their magnetic sump plug. Then you're OK. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone will see that as a low mileage and therefore low risk entry point into Porsche ownership or someone with more cash will add it to their collection as a future investment. Lets face it, the dealers are doing what they are setup to do - make money - they may sell it within days for £30k or hold it for months and sell for less, but they still have to cover their bills, same as any company 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
