Is this a good offer?
 

I've been thinking of selling up and going for an SUV, possibly a C-HV. Out of interest I stuck the car on Wizzle and have had an offer of £8,887.
The car is MY56 with 60,000 on the clock, just been MOT'ed and waxoled, along with a wheel refurb. It needs a new rag top and is a CAT D stolen recovered.
Do you think £8,887 is a fair offer? Bearing in mind I will be digging my heals in and not dropping from that offer. And will want to keep the personal reg plate.

The mileage is good, the CAT D is where they bash you down I reckon. Initial thoughts are it sounds fair..

If they will give you near £9k for a cat-d i would snatch their hand off

Agree

as above.

OK so I've accepted the offer on line, lets see what happens next. Will keep updated.

So I got the phone call, an had the discussion, and had "As it's a CATd we can't offer what we first quoted". When I pointed out all the car details were posted in the advert including it being CATd and their quote was based on what I had told them how come they want to reduce it now? No answer, except "we just had to check the details". When I said I would only accept the original quote and not a penny less he said "we can't offer that", I said well you already have. I declined to do business with them.

So if you want to sell a car to an online agent don't bother with The Car Buying Group, they lie, tempt you in with a big fat offer then drop it, I'm not really surprised.

Did they give you a revised figure?

I didn't bother as it's illegal to use profanity over the phone, but like any car et al I guess it would be around 50% of the original one. The point here is that they had ALL the information given to them originally so why give an offer they had no intention of honouring? It's bad business, and means no one reading this thread (or trust pilot) will touch them.

They are all knobs
