    Hi there,

    We are thinking of selling our BMW 320i 06 automatic and I was wondering if anybody has any information/advise on approaching these cars for cash places... Any information etc would be really appreciated. :D

    Many thanks - will look into points raised re auctions. Do you or anyone else know about this cash for cars business though? There is a place at the Naas Rd motor mall (where EP Mooney used to be) advertising cash for cars... I cannot fathom how that would benefit either seller or buyer though... I just wondered if others knew anything about them.... :confused:

    You won't get what you car is worth from the likes of these not even close.
    What spec is you car? Mileage?

    Benefit to them: they offer you very little cash, then sell it on for a bit more.

    Benefit to you: you get cash for your car without having to advertise, answer calls/texts, meet potential buyers, put up with time-wasters, worry about test drivers insurance etc. etc.

    They will give you below auction price so they cannot lose.
    Avoid.

    They offered me €600 for a car(that had Passed its NCT that day), that I sold the next day for €2000 (an hour after advertising it).

    In other words, Expect to be insulted If you go to them.

    I emailed them last week. They offered me €4,000 for my 05 Audi A3. Average price on Carzone approx €9000 - €10,000.

    Cheeky feckers :)

    Have you tried selling it privately? Unless you are ultimately desperate for cash at the minute I would rather set it on fire than give it away to these type of places.

    They are the motoring equivilant of pawn shops.
