If you’ve been looking at selling your car, you’ve probably come across We Buy Any Car. They’re everywhere – TV adverts, posters, high street branches. But are they really the best option for selling your car in Surrey? Many people discover there are better alternatives.
At Surrey Car Buyer, we offer a genuine alternative that many Surrey residents find gives them a better experience and better prices.
The We Buy Any Car Experience
We Buy Any Car has made car selling more accessible, but the experience isn’t always what people expect:
- Online quote vs reality: Many people report that the price they’re offered at the appointment is lower than the online quote
- Appointment system: You need to book and attend an appointment at one of their locations
- Inspection pressure: The appointment environment can feel pressured
- Hidden deductions: Fees and condition-based reductions can chip away at your price
This isn’t to say they’re a bad company – they’ve helped millions of people sell cars. But for many sellers, particularly those with older or problematic cars, there are better options.
Why Choose a Local Alternative?
Working with a local Surrey-based buyer offers several advantages:
Better Prices for Problem Cars
National chains often apply standard deductions for issues like mechanical problems, missing MOT, or high mileage. Local specialists like us assess each car individually and often pay more for vehicles others would undervalue.
We Come to You
No need to drive to an appointment. We collect your car from your home, workplace, or wherever is convenient. That’s especially important if your car is a non-runner.
No Price Drops
The quote we give you is the price you get, provided the car matches your description. No last-minute reductions at the handover.
Local Knowledge
We know Surrey. We understand the local market and can often offer better prices because we have established networks for reselling or recycling vehicles.
We Buy Cars They Won’t
Another advantage of local specialists: we’re often willing to buy cars that the big chains won’t touch. This includes:
- Cars with engine problems
- Gearbox failures
- Accident damaged vehicles
- Scrap cars
- Older vehicles with multiple issues
