WBAC - Not buying cars now.
Discussion
Friend (yes, a real one) of mine has a 6 series gran coupe he's thinking of selling. When he asked me if I was interested in early February, I used WBAC to get a figure for him to NOT let it go for, it was £14,200. Just tried again and it's now £9425.
OOps, typo, changed it - £14,200 of course.

Well it says the price is guaranteed for 7 days. They just use some algorithm and definitely don't want some cars. I sold A TVR Chimaera privately for over £11k in June 2019, the WBAC price offered was £50. No laughing at the back there!
Anecdotally, somebody got a very good price for a TVR Cerbera a few years ago. Car got punted through various BCA auctions and sold at a big loss to them.

Friend just had a phone call from Arnold Clark telling him that they are no longer buying cars. And that their previously agreed offer no longer stood. By telephone.
A tad inconvenient as he's due to collect his new one in a couple of weeks (not through AC) and there now appears to be a bit of a cashflow problem.
I've got a couple of E classes on my Autotrader watch list, they are up for just over £7500, last week WBAC were £4700, then £4500 and as of now £3700 .... so its dropping fast - I don't mind a trader making money but I just like to know how much i stand to lose if I hated it and wanted shot of it quickly.
