The latest "we buy any car" advert's where the girl mentions how she could have got more money by selling privately but doesn't have the time to advertise it! All this tells me is, anyone who can't be bothered or doesn't have the time to advertise their car properly probably has also not had time to service or look after their car properly & cut corners on repairs when possible! Surely the majority of people who have cherished their cars, would undoubtedly want to spend the time in writing a decent advert along with detailed photos etc! We buy any car please go away please!
I have a certain amount of sympathy for the WBAC girl/bloke. It isn't so much that I don't have time to write an ad, which therefore means I didn't have time to get it serviced. I can prove the servicing to you in this carefully collated file which I will produce.
I think it's more that I can't be bothered to wait in at times when I want to be out for people who won't turn up. Or tell me that they wanted a green car, when it says 'blue' in the ad. Or haggle tiresomely. Or say 'what's the least you will take'? What about if I ask 'what's the most you will pay'?
WBAC have their place. If you don't like them, don't use them.
The wife is thinking of getting rid of her Landcruiser and using my Rangie when I don't need it. I suspect I will smack it out to WBAC.

ks to dealing with the public.Shifted a battered Quashqi (sp) to them last week. 20 minutes start to money in the bank, although they charge you £30 to process the payment in 15 mins.
No tyre kickers, morons etc, suited me.
Sold my MK2 Focus RS to WBAC a couple of days before my new car was due to arrive, got £500 more than the dealer were offering me as a trade-in (they weren't bothered whether I traded the car in or not) and the whole process went very smoothly, they knocked me down, I think, £87 for a sizeable stone chip on the front bumper which I thought was fair, it wasn't something a touch-up brush could fix easily.
Anyway - an ad that is winding me up at the moment - Vaginal Dryness cream. Just the thing you want to be seeing when you are eating your dinner.

The current Candy Crush advert, although the previous editions were no less irksome.
A trailer on Channel 5 for a programme called 'Kittens make you laugh out loud', but which should really be called 'stuff we trawled off Youtube to make this stty schedule filler with no budget at all'

Curious to know how much under the going rate they offered you? I know they have probably changed alot since they offered me 3k for my Elise which I sold really quickly privately for 9k, so just interest in how much of a "hit" people are willing to take just to save on selling privately?ks to dealing with the public.Shifted a battered Quashqi (sp) to them last week. 20 minutes start to money in the bank, although they charge you £30 to process the payment in 15 mins.

The thread drift is strong...WBAC offered £2700 for my '07 Golf GTD which by pure chance I then sold privately for an undisputed £4K.

It would have been a pain to sell. Every panel was dented, the rear bumper was cracked, the windscreen was chipped all wheels were scuffed the interior was battered and it was a high miler.

The new Confused advert, where James Cordon swerves to avoid an accident that should have been obvious to someone paying attention to the road, and ends up continuously 360ing along the road, into a parking space! The most annoying bit is when a traffic light changes from red to green and he exclaims with surprise, "Mr Greenlight", as if to tie in this advert with the previous advert ... or create some sort of branding. It's awful.
The voiceover at the end sounds like Spottswoode from Team America.Just stop this crap !....

Wow fair play to you then for being able to afford a 1k shortfall...... I personally would rather deal with 10 nob-eds than losing out by not selling privately than knowingly throwing away a thousand pound....
