The new way to sell your car was born - April 2006

April 2006

In April 2006, a unique website, the first of it's type, was launched with the aim of providing consumers with a simple, stress-free and safe way to sell their car. Six years later and the business has grown rapidly and we are proud to say that our customers are happy to recommend our service to their friends and relatives; but how did wewillbuyyourcar.com come about and why did we decide to create a brand new selling experience?

March 2007

Years of experience in the car industry taught us that selling a car is often a lengthy and laborious process and many consumers worry that the price they are quoted after trawling around numerous garages and dealerships is unfair and inaccurate. To combat these problems, we took the plunge and launched a site that offers consumers a reliable and rapid service, which allows buyers to enter details about their vehicle and obtain an instant quote; if they decide to accept the offer, their car will be collected from a convenient location and the money transferred to their bank account immediately. The process is designed to be accessible and easy; you don’t even have to leave the comfort of your own home.

One of the most important aims we had when we first started out was to build a reputation built on professionalism and reliability and present consumers with an alternative way to sell their car; we are not here to sell you anything or lure you in with jargon: we simply want to buy your car and show you that selling a car can be an enjoyable, civilised experience.


Since our launch we have had many imitators, yet none of them have been able to match what we have offered since 2006 

• Genuine on-line offer to buy.
• Free collection from your door anywhere on mainland UK.
• Free instant cash payment, funds cleared within 15 mins.

Red Or Black?

Colours have been associated with different emotions, scenarios and characteristics for centuries, but does the colour of your car really matter? For most people, colour may not be a priority when they are looking to buy a new car, but there are some interesting statistics relating to the colour of cars.

Which colour for you?

Black has long been a favourite with car buyers and this could be due to a number of reasons; a survey carried out by the AA revealed that most people think black and silver cars are the easiest to sell, while many consider them the smartest and most attractive colours for cars.

Black proved to be the most popular choice for the users of wewillbuyyourcar.com; of all the cars purchased by the Hull-based firm in 2011, 47% were black, with silver coming in second place with 22.4 percent.

Research, including a study conducted by a team at Monash University in Australia, has suggested that black cars are most commonly involved in accidents, but figures from the AA claim that colour has no real implication for safety, especially as there are so many factors to be taken into consideration when studying the relationship between the colour of a car and the rate of accidents; when and where did the accident take place, who was at fault and who was driving, for example?

Statistics show that young drivers tend to favour black cars, while older drivers often plump for silver; with accident rates consistently higher among younger drivers who have less experience, it is perhaps not surprising that figures from Monash University indicated that black cars were implicated in accidents most frequently. A study carried out in New Zealand, which was published in the British Medical Journal in 2003, suggested that silver is the safest colour, which would correlate with figures relating to older buyers and their colour preference.

Figures for car theft are equally ambiguous; as you would expect, the more popular a colour, the more likely it is to be stolen; a black, red or blue car is much more likely to be stolen that a lime green or yellow car, but this could simply be down to the fact that there are far more red, blue and black cars on the road.

Colour may be the be-all and end-all for some buyers, but for most, there are other priorities higher up the list; if you are looking to sell your car, visit wewillbuyyourcar.com for a hassle-free, instant quote. 

wwbyc.com earns national acclaim

Hello and welcome to our new blog! Here you will be able to keep up to date with all the latest news from wewillbuyyourcar.com, find out more about the services we offer and keep abreast of what’s going on in the consumer world.

When we formed in 2005 we had one guiding principle: to create a business that provided a valuable service and was concerned with people, as well as cars. We wanted to make selling your car easy and safe and to eliminate many of the worries and risks people face selling their car in the traditional manner.

Wewillbuyyourcar.com enables you to sell your car without the need to visit countless second-hand car dealerships, spend hours bartering for a good price or even leave the comfort of your home; all you have to do is log on, visit wewillbuyyourcar.com and enter your car details. In a matter of minutes, you will be given a genuine quote and if you choose to accept, your car will be collected from your front door and your money transferred via a secure payment system within minutes.

Our aim is simple: to make selling your car hassle-free. We buy a wide range of vehicles, so whether you are leaving the country, fancy an upgrade or your needs have changed, the message is clear: we will buy your car. We are proud of our company, but don’t take out word for it, ask our customers; with 99% of clients happy to recommend a friend, you can rest assured that you’re in safe hands.

To get the blog off to a flying start, I’m delighted to announce that wewillbuyyourcar.com made it onto The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 for the second year running, after achieving sales figures of £21.5 million in 2010. The league table ranks the country’s top 100 privately-owned technology-based media and communications businesses with the fastest growing sales figures over the course of the previous 3 years.

The business appeared on The Sunday Times Microsoft Tech Track 100 list thanks to the hard work, innovation and commitment of my team, who managed to develop pioneering software that allowed customers with a vehicle under six years old, with a mileage of less than 80,000 to get an accurate and fair valuation of their car within minutes, simply by entering details about the vehicles, including the mileage, the condition (if there any scuffs or scratches, for example) and any extra features or modifications.

I am passionate about the company and the ethos behind it and I firmly believe that this accolade is not only beneficial for us, but also for consumers, who have peace of mind that they can sell their car safely and quickly without any hassle or risk. We wanted the focus of our company to be on the buyer and we believe we have accomplished this. We strive to provide our customers with a transparent and reliable service and we are pleased that our efforts are being recognised by the people who matter most, our buyers.

That’s all for now but be sure to keep checking wewillbuyyourcar.com for blog updates and news about the company. Thanks for reading!

Founder, wewillbuyyourcar.com
