As in 320d's. Trying to sell mine currently which is at the lower end of the pricing scale I found on Parkers and some other valuation sites pitched at £20k but Im wondering if I am wasting my time (and money) advertising it as most BMWs like this will be purchased on finance PCP (like I did!) and should just take a £2000 loss by selling it to these we buy your car websites.

Thanks

I may make an appointment with them to see what they actually offer. Ive heard the stories about knit picking at every little stone chip etc.

Valuations estimated between £20k and £22k. WBAC was about £17500. Another buy your car website offered about £18700 but I can see that creeping down. One offered £16500....

If you make your we buy any car appointment through top cashback you get £20 for attending the valuation and £52 if you end up selling it to them.

What's the spec and details of the car?

I actively dislike BMW as a brand now and will never own another BMW again.

Will leave it up for sale while I await the new motor. Unless I get the itch to give it to WBAC or similar. If they pay enough then Ill let them have it.
