Thanks for recommending Sure-Sell to sell my father-in-law's Hyundai i20.
Thanks for your advice about selling my father-in-law’s car when he had to give up driving. It was a Hyundai i20 Comfort 1.4 automatic, red with 1,600 miles on the clock, nine months old. The local Hyundai dealer offered a paltry £5750 (which he almost resigned himself to) and you suggested BCA Sure-Sell. It went under the hammer at BCA Preston for £8,300. After charges, he will be at least £2,100 better off, which is quite a difference. BCA’s service was quick and efficient. Thanks for your invaluable advice. My father in law is delighted with the outcome.

Fantastic. And a vindication for this piece of advice. Of course, it is still a gamble and depends who is buying on the day the car goes through the auction. But it saves the hassle and danger of selling from home, and gives you a better chance of a good price than selling to a carbuying organisation.
