[size="4"]Tonight, I thought to myself; I wonder how much my Fiesta is worth...

I am not planning on selling her by the way, I would never do that, I love the car far to much to sell her, but just out of curiosity, I thought I'd see what We Buy Any Car would give me, if I should lose my mind one day and decide to sell her!

Well, the car is as follows:

1997 P-Reg,
Ford Fiesta Ghia,
1.25 Litre 16 Valve,
76,600 Miles,
State Blue,
Rust on both rear wheel arches,
25CM Scratch on N/S rear door,
Apart from that, [i]immaculate.[/i]

I thought the quote would be about £300-400, maybe even £200 in today's market...

Nothing prepared me for [i]this![/i]

[left][size="4"]Good thing I'm not selling her, if that is all I'd get!

Thank God she is priceless in sentimentality!

The valuations are always low on WBAC - they have to be able to make a profit on the car when they sell it on, it's not a charity after all.

[/quote]I'm pretty sure they could sell the car for at least £450!

£105 is just a rip off.

How do they sell the cars anyway ? Do they sell them in auctions or sell them to dealerships ?

Hi mate, that's so funny. £105 for a 97 Fiesta! I've just done mine and this is my result...

Late 2001 MK5 Fiesta Freestyle,
FSH to 90,000miles,
1.25 Zetec,
5 Door,
Grey Steel Metallic,
MOT until December 1st 2011,
Excellent condition except a split in rear bumper. No rust on arches etc & unmarked alloys.

Even going to a dealer we'd be able to trade in for better than that!

I'd be interested to know how they sell their cars too? Are they auctioned off or sold with a warranty etc?

i would get 3675 for mine lol, i would guess they would sell them to auctions if the value of the car was below a certain level, dealerships arent interested in cheap cars generally as they end up being more hassle than they are worth.

£8,150.01 for mine, which aint too bad! Goes to show what type of cars they are after. I know my car is worth more, but for them to take it off my hands with little questions asked, the £8k aint a bad offer.

I deal with this company on a weekly basis,
Decent cars they sell via Carcraft....
Over 7 years old, or 70k they sell on a fixed bid auction in manchester.
Trade only, but you can pick up a bargain!
