Dealers using WBAC
Discussion
My dads been looking at new cars over the last few weeks & has been around a couple of dealers
Anyway he's signed up for a new Mazda3 & part exchanged his 2012 focus,
He seems happy with the deal so all is Good!
One thing this Mazda dealer said I found interesting,
He tapped in the focus details in to WBAC and said before I click "send" I will offer you £250 more than what ever they offer!
Are the dealers now playing them at there own game?
If you think about it dealers won't need expensive glass or cap value guides anymore, just enter the PX details in to one of these we buy car websites and then offer slightly more

Honda dealer used WBAC to value our P/X but only offered £50 more. I felt a bit insulted as I've always seen the WBAC prices as, in most cases, way lower than what the car is "worth".He tapped in the focus details in to WBAC and said before I click "send" I will offer you £250 more than what ever they offer!

I have to say it was an odd sort of deal anyway - there was never a "price to change" discussion, it was as if buying the new car and getting rid of the old one were two separate transactions. I think that's a bad approach for a dealer - I might as well have bought the new one online and sold the old one to WBAC.
We had this in 2013 at a VW main dealer - I just laughed it off as sales BS. All about cost to change when p/x'ing. I see WBAC as "bottom of the market" and irrelvant at a car dealer, especially a main dealer. Just as valid to put in the car they're selling and having the same tactic - I'll pay you £250 more than the WBAC price....

WBAC offered me (substantially) more for a Range Rover and a Discovery 4 than the Land Rover dealer did against a new Range Rover.Much messing around later and we eventually did a deal.

WBAC etc works well for cars that are in the non-PH interest. Try selling them a 2004 BMW 550i and laugh at the price you get offered.
Try a 1999 60K BMW Z3M Coupe...... And it will have you in stitches......
In the past maybe WBAC have offered more than dealers PX prices,
but Is that because the dealers are just greedy & now they are slowly realising they are losing profitable part exchange cars to WBAC and fed up of customers walking in with a handful of cash wanting discount off their screen price?
