Advice on car selling needed!

If you do advertise in the press eg. Autotrader, watch out for the independent scammers coming out of the woodwork.
The most common one is the telephone-based company who tell you they have a local private buyer lined up. You give them £100 via electronic payment and hey presto the "buyer" pulls out of the deal. Better luck next time.
The 2nd most common is the pidgin-English email scammer who tries it on with the Western Union bank transfer thing. He tells you he wants the car for his niece's gradudation present blah blah.
Avoid both like the plague, don't even be tempted.0
