Selling to Motorway, Carwow etc.
Discussion
I am selling my laddies Corsa we have it with Carwow and Motorway.
As we all know second hand prices are a bit mental,and I want to maximise the price.
I agreed a minimum price with Carwow and they have sent me an invoice for the sale.,as they have a confirmed buyer.
The car has been up for sale for a day, has anyone any experience of offers rising significantly over the period of a week.
I have tried to be as transparent as possible noting the 3 scuffed alloys and 1 touch up on the bumper.
When the driver arrives to collect do they try to knock you down like WeBuy? Or is it a straight transaction?
I appreciate all transactions will be different but looking for some real world experiences.
cheers

Thanks for the replies ,Webuy
have given me the lowest so far.Will sit it out for a few days and add Cazoo and Vardy into the mix.
Motorway have been a bit painful so far.
Been on the phone 4 times with the same questions with "just one more thing" added at the end,delaying things by a day at a time.They could have asked for all the stuff the first time!
Like talking to Columbo!
Cazoo have just offered £300 more than anyone else, the catch is the car has to be finance free.
Motorway and Car Wow will pay off the finance and pay you the difference.
I could pay the finance and go to Cazoo but they are not obliged to buy the car and their appraisal procedure seems a bit vague.
First world problems!

Well 4 days in and still no listing on Motorway, they are still asking for the same stuff they already had, so binned them.
Carwow, I was called by an aggressive car buyer demanding to know why I hadn't replied to his offer, not a pleasant experience!
I had blocked his email as I thought it was spam it came from a company called Wizzle.
I had not signed up to Wizzle so trashed the email, turns out Wizzle is CarWow.
A harsh learning experience for me, anyway puled the car from all sites and booked in to Cazoo.
If I was doing it again I would start with Cazoo.
Carwow and Motorway have excellent reviews but not for me from what I have experienced.

I think it's safe to say all of these companies have pro's and cons.
The aggressive Carbuyer implied I had entered into a contract, when I asked him " are you telling me I have entered into a legally binding contract compelling me to sell my car to you" he immediately backtracked waffling on about a gentlemen's agreement and all the work he had done.
Like, look at a list and send an email!! The boy must be shattered when he gets home!!
What I would say is that I was not prepared for the full on verbal assault and I could see some people thinking that they had entered into an agreement.
CarWow asked if I wanted to lodge a complaint but life's too short to get into that and pretty pointless.
Be aware the same aggressive Carbuyer buys from Motorway as well.
In 2 weeks time I will be telling you how I got 2 grand at WBAC!!

I have just been to Cazoo,got the full £7300 as promised by them in and out in 10 minutes.
For me personally the selling experience was fantastic and fuss free.
Obviously they have their own criteria on buying cars,that as seen above doesn't work for everyone,but for me they will always be my first port of call.
Compare n contrast with WBAC where your arguing about a tiny blemish on the paintwork of a 12 year old car with 142k Miles on it!
Basically a Grand more than anyone else and absolutely no hassle.
