BCA Sure Sell - no more? Best alternative? - Wronskian

Hi all,

It looks like BCA Sure Sell may be no more. If I follow the old link for it, I get to the main BCA page, and all information about selling a single car as a private seller has gone.

I'm guessing this could be because BCA own one of the big car buying companies (is it webuyanycar they own?) so they want to send people that way.

For years, BCA Sure Sell has been HJ's recommendation for hassle-free selling. What would people now recommend? (Specifically, an 02-reg Fiat Punto kept fully serviced and in decent nick - only a couple of hundred, I would have thought, so not worth much hassle.)

Thanks,

Sam

Have you tried We Buy Any Car? They won't offer much but, at least it should be hassle free.

I think ORB used them or was considering using them.

I use them as a guide when selling but now usually just px, less hassle, and the market is pretty close for a 3+ year old car.

Normally my cars are in pretty good nick when i sell, but the cruze was a bit tatty, various scrapes from kind hearted souls in car parks, due a cam belt/water pump/pulley change, due for the oxy se nsor fault, and if i had spent £100's on fixing all that would not have been worth any more even wth the full service history and full size spare.

11 reg cruze 1.6s 49500 miles 4 yr old april coming £2400 px + £1000 off the rio as it was reduced that day after 3 months on main dealers forecourt.

Look at the prices on webuyany car.. I did quite well as a px

You may be surprised how much it's worth in a private sale: www.wisebuyers.co.uk/motoring/used-car-prices/

I recently got £1700 for a '53 Almera.

I always thought suresell was a rip off.

Everything BCA offer these days is expensive, the buyer fees are scandalous.
