There's free market economics, then there's outright price gouging against those who need to sell a car fast, typically to free up cash to pay debts, or to clear finance on existing vehicles/put down a deposit on a new one.

After working in the auto industry for best part of a decade, literally nothing about using We Buy Any Car makes sense, and the valuations are based on little more than which way the wind is blowing on a particular day, and what side of the bed the assessor got out of in the morning.

We Buy Any Car bases their entire business model on gouging people who are trying to rush a sale through in order to get cash in hand.

It's 100% not an accurate basis for any form of valuation.
WBAC pricing is not based on 'what side of the bed the assessor got out of in the morning' by any means, you don't seem to realise that it is owned by British Car Auctions.

I'm aware of who owns it, and the fact that BCA do, who in turn are owned by a private equity group only further reinforces my point. They're not out to give anyone a good deal. They're out to lowball you as hard as they possibly can so that they can get the largest possible margin at auction.

I've seen a few people deal with them in the past (against my recommendations) and get totally shafted on the price of their cars.
