webuyanycar emailed me yesterday after i put the noble details in a while ago for a giggle, first they offered £11500. this was upped yesterday to £13500. 
They added due to the current climate no-one is buying new and the used car market is booming.

yup prices going up all the time. have also noticed that it's the smaller engined, cheaper to run cars that are really going up in price. the little mk4 fiesta that i have of my dad's has shot up in value. couple of months ago i could have sold it private for about £800 - £1000. now they are at dealers for anything up to £2k!

Thought so, I wonder if anyone actually sells cars like this for those kind of amounts, or are they just outpricing themselves in reverse as they are hard to shift.

mine was with buyanycar as well.
To be honest really need to get a family car, so looks like i will be going through them, they use car craft at lakeside.
funny though that buyanycar, which used carcraft, quoted just shy of 5k. Carcraft direct offered just shy of 6k!!!! lol
