In contrast, WBAC have offered me more for my B8 than any dealer so far, and only a few K less than they are being advertised for privately.

But offer and payout are rarely likely to coincide!

Took it to the WBAC dealer and they didn't quibble, they were willing to pay the full amount before I got cold feet and walked.

Well it will go on here in early May. I have just remembered it also has the next service at Audi for free, and is currently showing 300 days to next service. So new owner will have extended warranty to 11th November (which should be renewable?) and the next Audi service free. Given that I reckon 26k is a fair price. I would guess barely any of the cars on Autotrader have proper warranty in place, and as we all know any aftermarket warranty is not worth the paper its written on.

Be aware that what someone advertises a car for on auto trader doesn't mean thats what they sell for.Often they get no takers and will end up trading in or doing the wbac thing.
If you see the classifieds on here too the car starts off at top dollar but often there is a few price reductions and when priced right normally sells.
Some will pay a premium though if they know it is a totally sorted car or has only 1 or 2 owners .

As an example:

My Golf R, 15 plate, 9k Miles.

Offered as trade in on M4 CP- £25,000 - £25,750
WBAC offer - £24,815
Autotrader prices - around £28k

There are a few being sold at higher prices but no-one is likely to pay much more than £28k and I would be trying to haggle at £28k!
