Is there anything wrong with the webpage at present that anybody knows about?

I put a valuation in for my car yesterday and it cane up with £7500.

Updated it this morning, as I did not put a bumper scuff on, and the offer is now £150.

I know the car is now a day older but that is some pretty good depreciation!

Lockdown combined with very slow time of year means they probably don't want/need stock - particularly if it isn't perfect!

As a side note, I’d also try Evans Halshaw buy any car thing as they offered nearly £3k more for my c63 than WBAC.

If I put an identical registration in, from another random 535d, and use my car’s specific details then it works fine!

If you wait a week after getting a quote, you'll get an email saying your car has gone up in value by £xxx.

This.
I believe WBAC are closed at moment anyway, plus it looks like dealers and auctions will be closing very soon as click and collect is ended.
I know last week Evans Halshaw were told to get everything out they can ASAP.

I put the details in manually and it now has gone back to £7500 offer so must be something strange with the registration.

Booked in for an inspection from WBAC tomorrow so they are still operating it seems (albeit perhaps at a reduced level?).

I'm sure they were closed but must be wrong, my mistake.
Let us know how you get on.

The F11 535d is a great car. Unless there's something wrong with it or another pressing urge to ditch I'd be keeping it.

Before you commit to wbac try motorway it's a comparison site, I've used them twice now and get significantly more than wbac offered

Thanks for the hint on motorway.

Tried them and they are £1800 less than WBAC.

I will go to WBAC today and just see what they come up with.

I have been honest in the detail I have provided so not expecting them to alter the offer too much (famous last words!).

I went years not giving out my mobile unless I really had to.

I got very few scam calls, probably just a handful per year.

After trying Motorway I got loads in the following weeks.

Maybe a coincidence, maybe not.

I've been using their valuations for 6 months now and never had a call from them or a scam call since usng them.............but then why would i actually use my own mobile?
