Man was left in complete shock after taking £5 million car collection into WeBuyAnyCar

A man was left completely gobsmacked after he took his £5 million car collection to WeBuyAnyCar to see how much they would offer.

Anyone can have their car valued at WeBuyAnyCar, simply by entering your reg number online to get a free car valuation in as little as 30 seconds.

Then, you'll need to book an appointment at one of the 500+ branches, where staff will 'assess your vehicle and give you a final quote'.

It's one of the most popular places to sell a car, but it's not often that people rock up with quite such a prestigious selection.

Deciding to test out the service, Mark McCann took his luxury cars to be valued, but he was left pretty shocked by the figure he was given.

McCann's car collection

McCann's car collection included:

1. Brabus 850 GLE Coupe
2. Mercedes C63 Black Series
3. Ford Escort Cosworth
4. Lamborghini Urus Performante
5. Lamborghini Huracán STO
6. Lamborghini Aventador SVJ

What WeBuyAnyCar offered

McCann first took his cars for an evaluation from independent expert Tom Hartley, noting: "Price of retail value. Now this is going to be a price which is absolutely accurate advice."

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 have his cars evaluated by WeBuyAnyCar.

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

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

Meanwhile, another vehicle, the Mercedes C63 was evaluated by WeBuyAnyCar at £17,000 compared to Hartley's £140,000.

The Cosworth came in at £4,000, compared to £60,000.

Meanwhile, the Urus Performante was quoted at £242,000 compared to Hartley's £330,000. And the Lamborghini STO came in at £197,000 compared to £315,000.

Finally, the SVJ was valued at £280,910 down from Hartley's valuation of £350,000.

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

How do WeBuyAnyCar value cars?

According to their website, the company take into account eight different factors to determine how much your car is worth after inspection.

1) Make & model

Certain models are more desirable and retain their value better than others. If you have a car that is in demand then it could be worth more than you think.

2) Number of previous owners

Cars with fewer previous owners are generally worth more due to many owners being a potential indication of unsolved problems with the vehicle.

3) The condition of your car

If there is any damage to the car, the car’s value will be lower than a car with no imperfections. This can include scratches, dents, stone chips and other wear & tear.

4) Manufacturer’s warranty

Selling a car with a manufacturer’s warranty provides reassurance to the buyer and can increase the value of the car.

5) Mileage

A car with lower mileage will retain more of its value than a car with above-average mileage.

6) Optional extras

Some extras such as heated seats and upgraded alloys could improve the desirability and value of your car.

7) Service history

A full-service history shows that the car has been well-maintained and means that it will be worth more than a car with service history gaps.

8) Current market prices

Market prices fluctuate based on supply and demand. We use live market data to give you an accurate price at the time of the valuation.
