YouTuber Mark McCann, who owns a collection of super-rare cars worth £3.9million took his vehicles to WeBuyAnyCar to find out what they’d offer him for them
A man who owns a collection of super-rare cars worth £3.9million was left gobsmacked by the offer he received from WeBuyAnyCar.
YouTuber Mark McCann, who boasts some of the “best examples” of high-end cars in the US, decided to get his multi-million pound collection valued by the second-hand vehicle company and was shocked by their offer.
Initially, McCann had his six vehicles evaluated by independent expert Tom Hartley, who estimated they were worth an impressive £1,380,000. However, when McCann took his collection to WeBuyAnyCar, he encountered several issues. He was told he needed to take the cars to different stores separately after staff got ‘spooked’ by the high-end collection.
So, McCann went undercover, donning different outfits and wigs, with a hidden cameraman nearby as he got the cars valued. He revealed: “WeBuyAnyCar aren’t known for giving the best prices, which we found out.”

One of McCann’s cars was marked as ‘grade three’ due to a few ‘scratches’, valued at £35,647, compared to Tom Hartley’s £150,000 evaluation. Another car was given a value of just £17,000, a stark contrast to Hartley’s £140,000. In total, the six-car collection was worth £1,380,000 at Hartley’s but only £823,910 at WeBuyAnyCar.
“They literally will buy any car, even if it’s tatty or even a scrap car,” she said. The concept can be brilliant but it just doesn’t seem ideal with rare super cars. “The system can be fantastic if you’re a seller […] but it just doesn’t get this specialist car thing.”
Viewers were shocked by the clip and commented that the cars should be worth much more. One viewer said: “Car valuations are mental,” while another added: “Very funny, yet informative Mark!”
