Man took £5 million car collection to We Buy Any Car to see how much they'd offer

The offerings aren't so flattering to his collection

Usually when you’re getting rid of your car for a new set of wheels, it’s likely you’ll opt for selling it on.

With plenty of people out there buying second-hand cars to save their pennies, there are numerous options for where to sell them too.

But of course, one of the most popular has to be WeBuyAnyCar – it’s the one we seem to hear about the most anyway.

So, one bloke took on the task of seeing what the site would offer him versus an independent source. Oh, and he didn’t just do it with ‘any car’, the YouTuber took his ‘£5 million’ car collection to be valued.

I mean, if that’s the kind of free time you have, then fair play.

Mark McCann holds 'some of the best examples in the country' of cars and took them for an evalutation.

Why? To figure out how much the service would offer him for the high-end cars and whether it gives a fair price.

So, what did he discover? Well, the process certainly wasn't quite as simple as McCann first hoped.

He first takes his cars for an evaluation from independent expert Tom Hartley.

"Price of retail value. Now this is going to be a price which is absolutely accurate advice," McCann notes, explaining that the expert specialises in 'high end cars'.

Despite the reduction in cost given mileage, the cars' age and condition, McCann's six cars are evaluated by the company at a still impressive £1,380,000.

McCann then goes on to try and have his cars evaluated by WeBuyAnyCar.

The YouTuber runs into problems almost straight away, finding out he's going to need to take the cars in separately at different stores because 'superior' members of staff got 'spooked' by the high-end collection.

Naturally, McCann then goes undercover, wearing different outfits and wigs to get his cars evaluated, a cameraman hiding nearby.

"WeBuyAnyCar aren't known for giving the best prices, which we found out," he says.

One of McCann's cars gets graded at 'grade three' due to a few 'scratches' evaluated at £35,647 opposed to Tom Hartley's £150,000 evaluation.

And it's fair to say, the others follow a similar pattern, another vehicle evaluated by WeBuyAnyCar at £17,000 compared to Hartley's £140,000.

A bit of a difference to say the least.

Overall, Hartley evaluated the six-car collection at £1,380,000 compared to WeBuyAnyCar's evaluation of £823,910.

McCann resolves: "They literally will buy any car, even if it's tatty or even a scrap car. The concept can be brilliant but it just doesn't seem ideal with rare super cars.

"The system can be fantastic if you're a seller [...] but it just doesn't get this specialist car thing."

Well, it's just as well most of us don't have specialist cars then, isn't it?

LADbible has contacted WeBuyAnyCar for a comment.
