WBAC offered £66K for my 21 plate First Edition. I paid just over £55K. At this point I'm tempted to chop it in and run a shed for a year until the market returns to normal.

Due to needing to take country buses to collect the car I’ll be collecting it and getting the news tomorrow around 11. WBAC upped the value by £550 since last Friday too! Only feedback from the receptionist when she phoned to say the car was ready for collect was “ can you tell us who put the Paint Protection Film on your car, the buyer is most impressed and the GM wants to offer it as an extra!” Pangea Green D250 90 HSE with Air Suspension, Off-road Pack, Towing Pack, Black Contrast roof , rear recovery eyes, Front bash plate, Classic flaps all round, extended wheel arch kit and a few bits from PowerfulUK Expel Clear Gloss PPF to come

Last known position of my 110…….

At the moment I don’t need any more spam mails from them! They have been asking every couple of days for me to make an appointment for that Simon but the car has been in the workshop again.

With my 90 now valued at £52k I had a look at settlement figures and it clears it by fair margin, but by doing that online it automatically sent a request to my dealers business manager, who says they are interested in buying but it’s a 9 to 12 month wait if I order another today. 24MY 90 D250 HSE, Tasman Blue

Salesman at Pentland has never got back to me with their valuation, maybe they aren’t prepared to loose inflated used prices they charge to equal or beat WBAC.
They only communication I’ve had since collecting the car from them was “who fitted your paint protection film, we are impressed with the way it has been done and might look to market it as a dealer fit option” ie it’s another profit earner for us!

I asked about a Hard Top, at best September 2022. I was open and told them the valuation but I didn’t enquire any further.

Just to share my own experience - there are other (better) options than WBAC are https://www.wizzle.co.uk and https://motorway.co.uk.
Wizzle is akin to autotrader for dealers. You take photos, list the options on the car, detail the tyre tread depths and make an honest appraisal of the car. Set a non-binding "amount I would accept for the car" and off it goes to bid direct to dealers. Offers are non-binding, but if you do go ahead and sell they collect your car and appraise it as advertised and pay you the money before they take it away. Selling direct to a dealer cuts out the extra layer of margin that WBAC takes and opens it up to a wider panel of dealers looking for stock. I have no connection other than I've sold two cars this way this year through Wizzle. I just sold my Mini Cooper S to a franchised dealer for £5k more than I bought it for in April. I'm looking for my next car to play around with, possibly a RRC. In the mean time I'm tooling around in the Defender and D2 and biding my time waiting for new car supply to return and prices to tumble by Spring/Summer 2022.
