Dear Customer

 

It's more bad news for car owners, as the latest economic downturn is predicted to hit used car prices by up to as much as 10%.

 

In last week's Sunday Mirror industry expert, Quentin Wilson has said, "November will be the cruellest month. With this week's deadly economic prognosis, used car buying is about to fall off a cliff.

 

The last quarter of 2011 will see values drop by at least 6 per cent, possibly even up to 10 per cent. So if like me, you're concerned how much value you car's going to lose, my advice is: get out now."

 

Quentin also remarks, "It's about playing the market. Sell now, buy yourself a budget runabout and wait a few months to pick up a stonkingly cheap bargain from the ruins of 2011."

 

If you want to sell your car before its value 'drops off a cliff', ask us for a FREE valuation and a guaranteed purchase right away.

 

If all the experts are right, you have absolutely no time to lose!

hahahaha we buy any car make me laugh. I put the details in for the scooby i have for sale and they vauled it at £245. YEAH RIGHT O! 280bhp scooby with years ticket!!!

 

and old mr wilson is a bit out of date. The secound hand market has been crap since they introduced the stupid scrapage scheme. killed the cheap secound hand car market and a lot of decent cars got crushed.

Im looking for a Scooby Dave,send me details:P

if you ask me second hand cheapies are alot more expensive now ! this is due to the scrappage scheme and high scrap prices highest ever for copper etc. just to buy a shit box to get to and from work has gone from a couple of hundred to at least £400 mainly cause the local scrap yard will pay £200 to £400 for any car running or not !

 

cars that are a bit newer ie 5 years old people cant get credit and dont want to spend any money they have due to recession so if you want a cheap runner they are hard to find but a fairly new cars are coming down as people need to sell to cover job losses overtime cuts etc and cant afford that have today pay tomorrow lifestyle.

 

so yes wait a while as there are alot of bargains out there and NEVER EVER sell your car to those thieving webuyanycar pirates LOL

 

just my opinion by the way

I agree Paul,used cars arent losing value as much as they used to,and precisley,scappys pay £200 even for a non runner,that puts the runabout 'banger' into a higher price bracket ,its just those robbing tossers at webuyanycar that i hate.You would have to be DESPERATE to sell your car to accept their offer.

unfortunately due to circumstances there are alot of people using them !

it's these type of email's that drive the second hand car market down, people panic and go straight to the like's of weripyouoffallthetime.com they get very cheap car's and then sell them on at a good premium

 

and quentin is a cock

Have you sent the Western Union transfer to yourself to prove your identity yet?! Haha... in all seriousness, just be very wary!

We buy any car is owned bythe car Supermarket who deal in a sale or return policy.

The advert has got such big interest over the years and has drumed up massive business. It's a way of offering you a fairly decent price for your car (slightly above book price, which is all over the place at the moment!) to hopefully get your bum on the seat, to only be told "it's not actually worth that much, but now your hear let's see what we can do sir/madam!". Thing is it works with people who haven't got a clue and within an hour you've signed up for 5 yaers finance and packages you don't really want.

 

I've been selling in the motor trade for 5 yrs now and yes it's getting hard, very hard.

Where main dealers are struggling with p/x prices is that we call a trader for a bid and they're offering shite money for the p/x because they know they'll have trouble selling it because nobody is buying at the mo, so we can't then offer a decent price to change for the customer. Vicous circle really. I'm really not looking forward to 2012 because the way things are looking the recession is going to strike again :(

Not sure where you work but when i was selling cars and was stuck with a part ex i used to offer them one of 2 options. We used to sell an aftermarket warrenty which was £395 for 3 years but we only paid £110 so would offer them say £500 plus a 3 year warrenty for there part ex so they thought they where getting £900 for they car but really your only paying out £600 or tell them you would give them say £600 but then give them 2 weeks to sell there car and then they can see how bad the secound hand market is 90% of the time they never bothered but because you gave them the option they normally done the deal. May be of use to you.

We never have a problem moving a p/x on but it's getting the right money for them that's the hard bit
