Not sure WBAC would give a fair quote for a ST Focus

Certainly seems biased towards Diesel Euroboxes, or at least that's what i've found anyway

DN04 CWE

I've tried WBAC but their quote was just a touch low...

[woody2846]

The Glass guide price is £1600.

That Wisebuyers is complete bo""ocks. I just tried my own car and it said £8790 when Parkers say £6785. the latter is far nearer the mark (Mar 2010 Golf 1.6tdi on 70k) . How can they be THAT wrong??

Damn! Thanks very much though

Nah, we're a bunch of s according to the PH massive!

[woody2846]

Sorry- you will best off selling private tbh.

[littlebasher]

I notice that Wisebuyers site seems to churn out prices that are a little optimistic

This is what it spits out for my get to work tool




For Comparison, anyone care to post up what BK10 KKV with 99K miles prices up at on Glasses. £5.8K for PX is well above what i'd expect - 30% more IMO

Around 20% then, not sure we've found a benchmark though!

Agreed... Just tried mine : Retail £4,235 You could't even buy a cat C or D at that price... Retail TVR dealers have got a 1 in front of that 4 for spec like mine.

OK to be fair to the site just tried my other car and i would say pretty much spot on

Never understood those trade price books. They just observe the market and print what they see, and usually get it wrong. Just look what similar cars are advertised for, take a bit off and take out what the dealer will want as a margin.

TVRs and cars in short supply are an exception, you can rarely buy them anywhere near guide prices.
