there was a thread about this not long ago, somebody did quotes for posh cars which were valued by webuyanycar at less than half their value! do a search for it, its worthy of the effort

I wonder if there is scope for ripping them off.
Basically find the car, a bit like the above 306 that is overvalued, then go down the auctions knowing your 'budget' and rinse them.
Just need to do about 50 hours on that website to find the car that is valued wrongly, I am sure there will be one or two.

I have to say that I think their valuation is closer to the money than your insurers'.
"Good first offer" as Noel would say.
Deal or no deal?

With that insurance valuation, I would have said so.

They give you a valuation, then when you actually turn up with the car to hand over the keys they will re-valuate the car and give you less than the price they originally indicated.

wise words there...
I am made a kapoodle of a mistake some months ago when I thought about just patching up the e30. I phoned my insurance company, giving them the
exact spec of my car rather than the registration. I did this because, on the website, entering in my rego gave me a different quote. Did it over the phone to indemnify myself i.e. they couldn't revoke the quote.
with reg: £550
confirming exact spec of car: £300
accidentally let slip their error on a future unrelated call. It just goes to show that it doesn't matter how good your systems are, it's the squidgy organic bit that built it you have to be wary of!

Ive been offered £50 for mine but they also want "a contribution" from the road fund licence and a £9.99 admin fee as well.
This is all subject to to an inspecton upon arrival so it looks like I`ll be paying them !!

Hi guys i did a valuation on my car just for jolly it was short lived my beamer is in good condition full service history shed loads of paperwork hardly any rust they offered my £50 its still got 4 months tax and mot needless to say these jokers can talk a long walk off a short plank.
these are the last people i would use to sell my car if they phone me i will politely tell them where to go as its the biggest insult to me since bobby robson left newcastle united
