I'm wasting my day trying to sell the Vivaro to one of these companies.

So far Motorway have been helpful. They're a broker and really not suited to what I need. Location etc.

Next up, and current, are thecarbuyinggroup.

It's interesting, for a value of interesting, if nothing else.

The one thing is gives you is you bottom price, and if you’re desperate it could be the only offer you’ll get.
I got a price for the V4 Tuono from we buy an bike and we want you bike ( who I hear is actually Superbike Factory). 3 grand under book from both of them and 3 & 1/2 to 4 under dealer price. It’s was just too much to even consider at those rates

I've no misconceptions about how much they'll offer me. 'Tis one of those curiosities about living on an island, timing sometimes takes precedence over finance. I could leave it with someone else to sell but then it might need insurance and it's not exactly the sort of vehicle a dealer would sell for me for a percentage. Everyone in the chain has to make a profit otherwise they'd stop. I doubt there's much margin in a sub £5K slightly scruffy minibus.

I've found a replacement that suits and I need to visit family on the big island. Might be the last time I see them and that mawkish melodramatic guff.

Also I bought it as the scabby Transit was dying and this was available. I wasn't convinced at the time I was going to keep it, and it turns out I was right.

Yeah it’s all relative I s’pose and it’s different with cars and vans.
Where are you based?

OHBC

I sold my Versys to Webuyanybike ..it was a simple and painless process ..their first offer was ridiculous so I just clicked no thanks.. 2 days later they rang me and offered a much better price, that when you remove eBay listing and commission fees plus being chipped by potential buyers, was so close to what I would have got anyway that it made sense .

Just don’t accept their first offer ...

My problem is timing, having to hang about waiting for a better offer isn't something I want to do.

I had a look at reviews for the car buying sites and one of them stated that 97% of buyers didn't get the price they were first offered when the exchange took place. My initial reaction was surprise that 3% did.
