Just put my previous car into WBAC - 2014 335d - and was surprised that it doesn't seem to have jumped up in the way most cars have. It was valued at 12.3k versus 11k just pre-pandemic. Perhaps it's just too old - I think Cinch has a 7 year age limit.

I didnt think my Mini had either. Valued at just under 8k when I bought it (paid off my daughters PCP balloon just before 4 years old). It was running at less than £7.5k earlier in the summer but now showing at £10k plus. Maybe I should swap it......

If I could get a decent BEV for that and £15k I'd be in there. Have half looked at the MG 5 estate, or the Kona. But I need another £5k and then borrowing £20k for a station car seems a bit stupid really.... (and if I had a practical second car we know the Audi would be next for the "what if" question.... plus the Mini has an emotional attachment, last thing my wife did was fetch it with my daughter, her very first new car, the Mrs was so proud and excited...she never fetched my new cars, or even her own!) |

After getting a quote a couple of weeks back on WBAC (just for curiosity), they've been emailing me regularly about it. Today I get the email asking me to get my "Updated Valuation". Having read that used Audi A3 prices have gone up over 46% since 2019 along with rises on lots of other cars, my interest was piqued. Shouldn't have bothered - my latest valuation has gone DOWN £600!
A 6yr old 340i is not a desirable car Incidentally, local garage who look after my step-mum's ageing Citroen XM tried to flog her a 2007 Focus LX today, asking £2K for it. Plugged the license plate into Carwow and it suggested the car was worth £460! Where do these people get off trying to con old ladies?

Just under… £50K
But… yes ..It was strongly priced, but it only had 10K on the clock, full PSH, 24months OPC warranty etc and FULLY loaded….. it was pretty much as new… but run in… However , its still too rich for my pocket Ive walked away…. No need to rush … |

Local BMW dealer has an almost identical M40i to mine on the forecourt just now - same age (late 2019), similar mileage (7k) but with a slightly lower spec. They’re asking a whopping £50K for it
Two years ago I paid just shy of £48K after discount, WBAC are still offering around £45K. When I idly enquired about a new LCI replacement last month the “best” trade-in BMW were prepared to offer was £41.5K, no room for discussion. I think I’ll be hanging on to it for a bit…. |

As an absolute bare minimum you’re looking at the Arnold Clark ‘Sell My Car’ price from HF on a trade-in as that’s who they are (you can select HF Giffnock as your branch to take your car to), so £41.5k is a bit off it... |

After a test drive, they never returned any of my wife's calls to order the car! Wasn't impressed! |

Basically "take it or leave it, I'm not that bothered as I can easily sell this car on those terms to some desperate fool with an abundance of cash and a lack of patience" Polite, yes. Engaged & engaging? No. Not entirely sure I'd go back to them, maybe try Irvine if I stay with BMW next roll of the dice. Or maybe further afield for the right deal. |

I'm continually amazed by the px prices being quoted. I've just put my 14 plate 335d into cinch. Car has close to 87k on the clock now, had 62k on when I paid a smidge over £16k Sept 20.
Cinch px offer based on three previous owners and 'good' condition- £15,800 |

At least another 9 months of this.
The longer it goes on too the longer dealers are getting used to lower volume higher profit. Seems to be working for them now too. Let's see.

I don't know how long a dealer would normally take to sell a car but my 340i which they bought on 2nd September is still listed as for sale.
