Was Just wondering if anyone has dealt with cash for cars? Its the place where they are meant to give you good money for any car. roadworthy or not.

Was just wondering because i might give them a look and see what i can get for my car.

Cheers

Anyone who spends big money on advertising that they will give you the best deal for a car has to be sus.

Is this the mob that promises the highest trade ins? I remember seeing an add where the scene was a sigma being traded, and the door was touched up in a different colour to make it look like a wreckers door.

No shadows in the 'paint' or anything, looked like it was done on MS paint.

So youre wondering are these guys just giving money away?


The higher the trade in price relative to its resale/salvage value, the higher the purchase price.

Redbook is the way dealers value second hand cars. ie trade ins

Redbook value on a XF PV is $1,100.

They don't offer much money is what I have found. If you wan't to get rid of your car yesterday, no hassle they are fine, otherwise avoid them.
