    I sold my old beat up car last year on eBay with a 99p starting bid and no reserve. Good description and photos. Meant no tyre kickers and no hassle. :beer:

    I'm doing this too minus the "old beat up" bit :rotfl:. Did set a reasonable reserve though

    Indeed.

    What car is it you're trying to sell?

    Age, model, spec, mileage, colour etc.

    If you're after a quick sale then autotrader is your best bet.

    2003 Punto, Active Sport 1.2L.

    Metallic black, 33000 miles on clock & top condition. Looking for £2200. It's all over Facebook and countless websites now, fingers crossed before I turn to Autotrader and paid advertising :T

    Well, over 2 years ago I sold the same car but in baby blue metalic for 2295...

    A quick oook on Autotrader and you can get 04/54 stuff for under 2500...

    Just found a 53 plate Active Sport facelift done 37k for 1700 and thats from a garage.

    Can buy many, many cars that don't spit out head gaskets for a laugh for £2200, so nobody's going to pay that for a 2003 Punto

    Your car is way overpriced. A bit of basic research would have given a more realistic figure £1,600 (+/- 300).
