I used them in 2017.

They came to me, paid what was agreed (car was as described)and took the car away.

The commitment was on them as they travelled to SW Scotland unlike WBAC who you have to go to.

Price was better than WBAC too

Car Wow must be selling details, of those who enter them into their site order to get a price, onto The Car Buying Group. I did just that the other week and the price range suggested by Car Wow wasn't what I was looking for so didn't take it further. A few days later I got a call from The Car Buying Group and they mentioned Car Wow. As my car was already advertised on Autotrader I didn't see the harm in getting a price from them as well. They came back a few hours later with an offer which wasn't great but not the worst I'd had. I sold the car less than a week later for £4.5K more than their offer.

We used them last year to sell our 2018 BMW.
They paid exactly what they said they would. As long as you are completely honest with any damage.
We had extra spec and they increased their valuation.
The guy turned up, checked couple of things liased with their office over the phone. Money was sent to bmw finance to clear what was outstanding and remaining funds sent to our bank account.
We checked funds arrived where they were meant to.
They were on our drive and gone within 30mins! Really friendly and helpful guy who turned up as well.
Would definitely recommend using them to anyone.

Carwow don’t buy cars, they are middlemen who farm out details to their “trusted dealers” who then offer on and buy the cars.

If you’re at all unsure about how the details ended up with car buying group I’d just check with carwow that it’s kosher.
