| Webuyanycar.com: Heavily criticised by Which? |
More bad publicity for car buying company Webuyanycar.com.
Consumer watchdog Which? was critical of the company's pushy sales staff and advises people to only use Webuyanycar.com as a last resort.
One Which? researcher offered to sell her Renault Modus to Webuyanycar.com expecting an offer of around £4,000 - she was surprised by the site’s £3,320 valuation, which was reduced yet further to £2,550 when she took her car to the Webuyanycar.com depot.
Although a £640 deduction for bodywork repairs was eventually waived, taking the price back up to £3,190, the researcher felt the Webuyanycar.com employee’s tactics were so pushy that she felt in danger of leaving the depot without her car. Three out of the five Which? Car researchers felt they were offered very low prices and had experienced pressure buying tactics at Webuyanycar.com depots.
The report found: “Three out of the five Which? Car researchers felt they were offered very low prices and had experienced 'pressure buying' tactics at webuyanycar.com depots.
Peter Vicary-Smith, chief executive of Which?, said: “Next time you get Webuyanycar.com’s repetitive jingle stuck in your head, remember: just because they buy any car doesn’t mean they’re the best people to sell to. Think carefully before selling to an online car buying firm or you could be left seriously out of pocket.”
Which? also said firms which insist on the seller signing a contract before the car is sold - Wewillbuyyourcar.com, Sellcar-uk.com and Sellthecar.com – should be avoided.
