I'm trying to sell my 56 Reg Ford Fiesta as we no longer need a second car. I've had it advertised in Autotrader for the last 3 weeks and have only had one phonecall which was a scam. I've also got a For Sale sign in the window of the car but had no interest at all. What am I doing wrong? Is there somewhere else that I could try selling it as well?

I've got it up for £4995 and the book price according to Glass guide is £5500 so I thought that someone would snap it up. I really need to sell. Help!

Try What Car? website and check the value a used car section.that gives realy god idea of private sale price, trade price, part ex etc

Gumtree is free.

Stay away from ebay. They charge you about 20% now, about 10% to ebay and the other 10% to paypal which they own.

I sold my van on a site called mustgoasap.com all I had to do is give them all the vehicle details to end and lower end price I wanted and they take care of everything and when they sent someone who bought the vehicle(after 3 days) all I had to do is pay £99.

Hah! First result on Google too

Is there anywhere decent (and preferably cheap/free!) that you guys would recommend now? Autotrader is pricey!

Also, just to confirm - do I want to avoid taking cash for the car? ie deal with bank transfers only?

I found the same, only one call from Autotrader using their Telesafe service. The call forwarding fails after only one or two calls. You think people are ignoring your ad because you have the price wrong - but they simply can't get through! Oh dear, you'll have to run the ad again! Don't use Telesafe its always the same.
