We buy any car type site or PX with dealer.

Hi.
I'm going out to look for a new car this weekend.
In general what's the best way to get shot of my old one?
We buy any car type site or PX with dealer?
Is there any real difference as to how much they will pay?

Thanks for your replies.

Wbac quoted me £250 more than the salesman, however I doubt that’s what I’d get once it was all done and dusted.

Bit of advice though, I got a quote just to see what it was, a few days later they sent me an email saying they had updated the value and it had jumped from £1770 to £1950, so worth trying similar thing.

mmm. ok thanks. I'll give that a go.
I went on Go compare and the highest quote was about what I think the old bus is worth.
A extra couple of hundred will always help.

Having had recent personal experience of them, I wouldn’t bother with WBAC again. Waste of time ...

I think it depends on the car. WBAC are owned by BCA and the cars get taken straight to auction. some cars they don't want (presume because they don't do well at auction) so you get a pittance offered via WBAC.

It really depends on what margin the salesman has on the car you're buying on what they will offer you for your P/X.

Concentrate on the cost to change and see what discount, if any, they will offer you on the car if you don't P/X.

Thanks for the info. I'll keep that in mind.
I'm lucky I don't need to PX mine to get my new car, just don't want all the agro of selling private.

If that’s true then just get a quote, be honest with the condition of the car, they give you 7 days to accept it, once that expired for me they sent the email offering more. A guy will ring you the day after the first quote, just tell him the offer wasn’t good enough or something.
