    Try webuyanycar.

    Won't take much time to find out what they would buy it for.

    Another good place to try selling it on is Pistonheads.com. It's free and gets a lot of visitors.

    Just a tip when putting ads up on sites like that.

    Put as many photos as possible on. I read ages ago some survey in America that said having more photos of the car reduced the average time it took to sell it considerably.

    American cars are no better than the Korean offerings IMO.
    In fact, I'd probably rate the Korean stuff slightly higher than the yank offerings.....mainly because everyone knows that yank cars don't do corners :)

    However, if the trade pay more than the book says - why not just sell it to a trader?

    So are Chevrolet's that are sold in the UK made in the USA then?

    I think the UK based Chevrolet range of cars are made in Korea.

    Don't forget to blur the number plates before listing online.

    Hi, no luck again with ebay, there were more watchers this time as well and the night before the listing ended someone asked if i would accept 2000.00 cash i replied no but i would be willing to negotiate a lower price as i felt 2000 was too low, begining to regret that now. Thinking of putting it back on ebay again at a reduced price, does anyone have any experience of selling to trade ? Do you just phone round the local garages asking if they are buying used cars ? Thanks for any help as getting desperate to sell now.

    Didnt sell on ebay means it was overpriced. Workmate had one & he accidently damaged it so the
    insurance would write it off.
