    Autotrader - not expensive for a fortnight online

    Pistonheads - free

    Ebay - something like £20 for a month if you put it in as a classified

    usedcarsni.com - not expensive.
  • Yeah there are lots of ways,
    I dont understand why people pay autotraer so much money you can do it for free in

    Buy & Sell {free}
    Ads For free {you guessed it free to}
    www.belfast.gumtree.com {free for any ad and very popular}
    daily mirror - yes its free ads

    print a picture of it and put in work and shop windows you never know.

    usedcarsni.com owned by telegraph is just new and heard on radio they put it online for £20 i think {could be wrong about price}

    if i think of anymore will give you a shout. but you dont need to spend lots of money selling your car.

    The last few times i sold a car using autotrader i just placed it on the online site, didnt bother with the magazine at all. Much cheaper.

    thanks for the options everyone. I have never sold a car privately before so I hope it goes alright.

    Gonna try as many options as possible & get rid of the car before my company car arrives.

    thanks again

    Seems a lot cheaper to advertise than the robbing Autotrader but then it might not get the same amount of buyers
  • Park it up in a busy area and put a notice in the window :) I've seen it done before.

    Technically illegal, need a street traders licence
