Base F type (16 plate 25k miles) WBAC are the best for me.

WBAC: 33k
Motorway: 31.3k
Arnold Clark: 29.9k

On Autotrader, the closest cars to me (proximity) are anywhere between 33k and 40k depending on mileage and features. Interestingly, when I bought the car almost 5 month ago, WBAC valued it at around 30,000 - 30,500. It's increased quite a lot in the past 6-ish month. Never had a car do this to be honest.

Have used Motorway to sell a couple of cars which were just a couple of years old. They have been excellent, you get an initial valuation, take the required pictures and they basically auction the car directly to all the dealers they work with.

On both sales I did I got more than the original valuation. The car was picked up within a few days and money went into the bank from the dealer directly.

No hassle gave me peace of mind.

Do you own the car outright or have equity with it?
I owe about £25k on it.

Motorway was worst for me by 4K over WBAC
Apparently they only make less than 500 on a 50k car it’s all about volume.
My old Porsche is now up at only 1500 more than I got.
Dealers are way down on WBAC

OK so a few people are rating Motorway over dealer and WBAC on price offered.

Anybody got any experience of whether Motorway later chop the price down more aggresively on viewing the car (never heard of it, am assuming it is a WBAC type of service)

I fail to understand how a few extra quid compensates for the loss of an F-Type? :o

It doesn't.

But at the time when you want to, or need to, sell you will want the best price possible (?)

If not, please contact me when you come to sell yours !

So the answer to the original question on much money than WBAC is zero!
In fact from personal experience quite a bit less.
