They provide a service, and for me that service was to give me £50 for a car that was never going to pass an MOT and would have cost me to give to a scrap yard!

It all depends on metal prices. Not too long ago they were even refusing to take them crazy

There was a program on TV the other night looking into 'rip offs' and they checked out the 'postal gold buying services' they were offering between a tenth and a fifth of the price the high street buyers were suggesting. Trading Standards said it's not illegal, you don't have to take the offer.

i think 'we buy any car' is in the same field (but with a more annoying advert) laugh

You can get even more than that for some cars from banger racers, mondeos and vauxhalls especially. Only requirement is that they can move on their own. laugh

I have a drive (ok admittedly only big enough for 1 car!), other than that, my road is my drive smile

Does £880 win the car then? I can collect at the weekend wink

Bit of a drive for you Dan, I reckon he should deliver for the extra 10%.

We must all do our part for the planet.
I unplugged a row of electric cars that nobody was using.
I even unplugged my own.

Deal.

Just off to my solicitor to see if this can be construed as a legally binding contract of sale, then I'll walk down to Yeovil with the cash laugh

I'm just glad the curly wurly was the clincher. If it's been a boost the deal would have been off smile

They may have offered that but when you got there that offer would have been halved because of some half arsed reason.

Another definite deal breaker! If you'd asked for fruit and nut I'd have bought a box from the wholesaler and thrown those into the deal...

They valued my 2000 S3 at £2350. High mileage with 130,000 but FSH and 2 previous owners. I reckon it's about 50% less than I could get privately.

My last car sold to Wewillbuyyourcar.
That was simple and easy. Don't know how much they would offer for a Coop, I'll take a look and come back.
