To think 'We Buy Any Car.Com' have zero sense of humour?

[Sparklingbrook]

Here They missed an opportunity to send a really jokey reply.

Oh. Maybe not then.

well it is clearly a car and they do state any car in their marketing hmm trading standards methinks

I think they missed a trick big time.

With a little imagination this could have gained them some really good free publicity.

That's what I thought. They would have been better binning it than replying with that humourless letter.

They should have played on it a bit.

Yep. They just sound massively grumpy and up themselves.

I saw that the originator admitted it was a hoax, he made it up himself...but if not, yes, definitely a poor customer service response!

What miserable gits!

They should have turned to MN! Someone here not me could have come up with a witty, pithy reply

Agree that they missed an opportunity. Even the Department for Transport has a better sense of humour:

That's more like it Fester.

Sense of humour bypass.

What boring old farts 'we buy any car' are!

miserable bastards!
Although, to be fair i'd be amazed if they haven't seen that joke before. Maybe someone was having a bad day...

Agreed! Should have offers 50p or something. Massively missed opportunity.

Though we are talking about it...

That's funny. Wasn't there a similar one with a gold company when some one sent in chocolate coins!

This spoof is pretty funny: www.webuyanycat.com/

Tell you what though, we've got one of those Little Tykes cars. It was second hand when we got it, and it's lasted longer than any real car we've bought.

Can't seem to find a child who hasn't already got one to pass it on.

YANBU, the joyless bastards.

I'd have loved to compose a funny reply and would have spent all weekend doing it given the chance. Opportunity Fail.

We are talking about it, BUT We buy any car isn't all that is it? I assume they give you a good price on the website, then you take your car in and they pick loads of faults in the paintwork and offer you £3 for it?

Love We buy any cat AKiss

I think you should contact the daily fail and complain. You could even do the whole "sad / angry / disappointed" face in the photoshoot, whilst posing with your car...

Well their ads are terminally irritating and that reply isn't just humourless, it's passive-aggressive nasty. I wouldn't do business with people like that.

Just out of curiosity (its not actually for sale) I put our very very old car's registration number in on the website (its got a black number plate) and they wouldn't recognise that either!

Ha! So their name is a lie colley. Just as we thought.

Love the link fester.

Sainsburys managed it with the giraffe bread

sparkling they should change it to "we might buy any car - unless its so old it has passed its sell by date"
