Just seems very odd practice. Even if they had the parts in stock they must have cost something somewhere. So taking £1200 less The cost of the parts, less vat on the margin, commission etc etc. Still think they paid way too much for it! If the car is/was £7k new list price you want to be at least £750 maybe a grand cheaper than list. Then you want a net margin of around £800 so try and deal a front end £1k starting at £1500/£1250 basic margin; no prep car means you would pay more. I would think it was only really worth what WBAC actually bid. Especially if we are talking years ago now. Nowadays taking a handful out of a car is difficult, fair play if that’s what you got and he returned. Just don’t think that’s particularly sustainable in my experience.
