Haven't done this for years, as I've always traded in - but as I've been offered such a paltry amount by a dealer against a new car, I'm thinking of selling privately. Valuation between private sale and trade-in is over £3k.
However, not looking forwards to dealing with dodgy motor trade types, so firstly, is it worth the hassle, and if it is, where's best to advertise?
Any advice welcome.
Been a few threads on here about this over the last week. Selling a car myself at the moment, and the consensus seem to be Ebay first (flat £15 fee for a 28 day classified sale - if you're naughty, pull the add once it's sold and even save this.....) followed by Autotrader (~£30 for 2 weeks on the web only, rising in cost from that - expect spam and cold calling.....).
Trying Ebay this time, but the add only went up at lunchtime, so we'll see.....
I asked a few weeks ago, and got replies that indicated E-bay and Auto Trader.
Put it on e-bay on Sunday Night - Sold by Tuesday Lunchtime £15 flat fee for classified ad, I was very happy.
I also put it on Gumtree, but only because it was free to list.
I just sold mine on ebay last week. Put your phone number on the advert, so any buyer can contact you direct. I got a decent cash offer within 12 hours of listing it. Can't ask for much more than that really
Hmm - interesting post. Last time I tried the two I found Auto Trader to be the most successful way to sell - Ebay seemed full of people just wanting bargain prices.
And as I have a car I am about to sell I guess Ebay might be worth consideration - I assume there is no final price fee then? Just the insertion fees?
