I work in the trade so i was interested to find out how much they valued my 07 plate XS.

Glasses guide trade price was £15600 at the time.

Got offered £11000 from that bunch of W**K**S

They then emailed me every few days adding more to the value. Gone S383 ABA Freelander 2.0 XEDI Rioja Red

I recently read an expose on WEBUYANYCAR.COM's business practice,
Apparently they make you an offer above book price, If you accept this offer it is subject to an INSPECTION, when you turn up at one of there INSPECTION sites, Mostly CARCRAFT showrooms, you are made to wait and wait while they check every blemish, scratch and even tiny sign of wear and tear to affect the valuation downwards which can take many hours, using any number of staling tactics until they come back to you with an offer of about 60% of the original offer in the hope that they've worn you down enough to take the cash and get out of there.

The standard of advertising is perhaps representative of their business model. I wouldn't broddle them with a sh!tty stick. They rely on taking advantage of people who may be easily convinced with a poor valuation, or those who are perhaps in 'money trouble'.

United Kingdom 2008 Freelander 2 TD4 GS Manual Santorini Black

I know when I was selling my td4 FL1 I contacted them through there site. They offered me £1550 wasnt enough so I sold it privately got £2550. Just shows the difference ey. Trouble is they still keep emailing me - I did all this back in 2008 leave me alone ! Rolling Eyes

Presumably they just buy them well under price and auction them off as you never see them advertise selling cars ? Im really surprised that twodogs got offered all that, I can only think they have a huge market for the FL2 - no surprise.

England 2007 Freelander 2 TD4 XS Manual Santorini Black

WBAC is almost the most annoying advert ever - Just tipped off no 1 by the pratt attempting opera singing in "Go Compare" Aaaarrrggggg... Mad ....Gets me reaching for the remote every time.

Don't these companies realise that it deters people from using their product. FL2 TD4 XS Santorini

I recently (within last 3 weeks) sold 2 cars with WBAC and found them to be ok. For one of the cars I sold to them I got £1500 more than was offered by my local LR dealer against a new FL2 and the other car was sold at book price. Yes they do go over the cars with a fine tooth comb but as long as you are honest with the condition/defects when you get the indicative price and have a price you are realistic with and stick to it which seemed to work ok for me. Both cars I sold I was knocked down £245 and £350 respectively on £4245 and £8350 indicative quotes. I did also stress I was not desperate to sell which may of helped with the negotiations as I imagine they would prey on that!

I think you'll find its possibly the acquisitions arm of CarCraft or they supply car super stores and I very much doubt they'd make much money through the auctions.

Sadly the annoyance factor has made you remember it so mission accomplished for the advertising boys.

Now if only the guy from go compare and the guy from WBAC could fight to the death on live tv.... Whistle

NB this was the pre-knockdown price Laughing
