    Yeah, I know. But they weren't getting the chance this time. What they offered was akin to robbing me. I know that selling private can be a frustrating and painful process but at the end of the day, 2 grand more means it is worth it. Was to me anyway. I was quite worried about how easy it would sell and whether I would be plagued by time wasters and tyre kickers. But it went well, thankfully.

    I agree, I would never go there, some of their antics are shocking.

    Last year we bought my partner’s son’s RAV4 and took our three years old Yaris to Arnold Clark on the outskirts of York. They had offered a decent price online so we thought let’s give it a go, expecting nothing like the initial offer.

    Imagine the surprise when that online offer was honoured. The whole process took less than 30 minutes and the money went to my bank immediately. We had barely lost anything on the original purchase price so I was very impressed with this company.

    The pitch (!): We Buy Any Footballer. Sweep up disappointing signings and flog them to Luton with a big markup. Sounds fanciful but it used to work.

    I once sold a LHD Yaris back to the French dealer we bought it from and thanks to fluctuations in the exchange rate got more back in GBP than I'd paid for it 3 years earlier. That was a good deal.

    We part exchanged through Arnold Clark too and had the same experience.
