Abz Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 I did an online valuation for a laugh, they offered me £900 for my Supra TT! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soop Dogg Posted April 1, 2011 Author Share Posted April 1, 2011 I think the main complaint is form people who have had a valuation of their car online, and when they turn up to look at the car, they reduce the valuation by up to 25%. I seem to remember someone talking about this on here a while back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cje001 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 They are a horrible company - praying on people desperate to sell. The valuations i`ve done in the past have been that low that i`ve nearly fall off my chair at time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraDan24 Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 The last thread was about an email sent out from one of the guys running the company blasting its employees saying they have to do better in the future at knocking down the price after the initial evaluation. Think he said he expected a minimum of 25% or somewhere there abouts. Knobs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tyson Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 Yes they are a bunch of knobs but at the end of the day they are a business. Their aim is to make a profit not to do you any favours, you don't have to take the quote if they offer you less than you want. Worst case scenario is they waste your time and you walk away. How is it any different than going to look at a car that someone has not described properly which is 99% of the adverts on PH and Autotrader. It's a ploy to get you interested, everyone does it. It sucks but it happens you just have to put it down to experience. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh Posted April 1, 2011 Share Posted April 1, 2011 They offered me £5,500 for my Golf. I let it go for £6,350 so their valuation wasn't as bad as I though it would be. I had heard about them coming to see the car the offering way less so I didn't even bother proceeding with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swampy442 Posted April 16, 2011 Share Posted April 16, 2011 Its like all these companies offering short term loans etc, praying on people who are in financial hardship, greedy twats. And Josh you probably got a good offer cos it was a newish diesel Golf, they will always sell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I sold them my SEAT Leon and got a very good price and painless deal, no drop in price when they came to do the deal but then i'd descibed it acurately which does help. On the other hand i used there site to do a deal on my 330 BMW and they were miles off with the price so i simply didnt use them, simplez Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pistol pete Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I've got a limited edition Jeep Cherokee Stealth running LPG up for sale and they offered me about £58 I think ahh but do not forget that they charge 50£ to value the car... (if i have read the advert right) that leaves you with 8£.. bite their hand off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
