Has anyone had anything to do with http://www.sellmycar.com.au/ ?
I find it hard to believe that all their reviewers (all except 3) have given for or 5 stars, signed up on the day, made the review and that's that. I put in a negative review and now it's not showing, need verification of a purchase. I sent a screenshot of the "offer" they sent and hopefully it will appear. They offered me $6800 for a 2009 Mazda 6, leather seats sports pack etc. I don't know much about cars but for a mazda 6 in great cond. with full service history and only 2 owners one being a private school, 6800 seems low.

FYI - This post is more aimed at how I can get my negative review through on productreview.com.au - posted it with a screenshot and still denied, not sure why…

    Without knowing other details, it does seem low. It's why a lot of people prefer to sell privately. More hassle but can get a higher price.

    only 2 owners one being a private school

    that doesn't really mean anything at all to me

    You should check out other car sales websites and find a comparable model year, condition kms etc.

    These websites make money by offering an easy and quick solution to people trying to sell a car. They low ball the crap out of you hoping you are desperate or don't know better. You could easily get $10k for your car if you sell it privately, at least that's what they will be doing if you did sell it to them.

      Fully agree.
      These kind of website are for people who want to make minimal effort in selling their car - essentially they take the car off your hands and then try to make a profit in selling it to someone else.

      Similarly with the mobile phone buying websites like Mazuma or Mobile Monster. Not all phones they buy would end up in 3rd-world countries.

    This business would be equivalent to those in shopping centres that will "buy your gold" by weight. They will 100% of the time lowball you and essentially prey on people who are in desperate need of funds.

    TO be fair, I'd spoken with them in the past and they seemed nice enough. It's important to remember that they are effectively purchasing your vehicle from you at a wholesale price, it's natural to expect a service like to wanting to make their icing on top. Selling a used car can have hiccups if you end up with a buyer that is hard to work with, just like any business transaction.

    That's exactly what a dealer will offer if you took your car to them. One of my friend took his 2012 september Mazda 3 skyactive with 18k kms on odo in 2013 to a dealer to check the price and the dealer quoted $15k whereas it was going for about $24k at that time. He decided to keep it for few more years.
