Selling a car for the first time. . .

Never sold one before as I've previously done part-ex. The car hasn't moved in years (no tax or MOT, needs a tow) but is in reasonable condition with low mileage for age, worth around £300, cash only.
I want to sell it by the least hassle/least cost method. I'll be putting a 'For Sale' notice in a window, however as I'm off road it won't get many views, so should I be looking at Gumtree, eBay. Craigslist or something else?
Any other pointers would be helpful.

If its nothing special, ring up a scrapyard. Depending on the car you could get £200. They'll turn up and take it away.0

I've sold all my previous cars using freeads. Freead Mart, Gumtree, VivaStreet etc etc. I've advertised a few on Ebay, but this attracts a small fee.0

TBH I think it's better than scrap even at 15 years old because the mileage is so low. I'd like someone to get some use out of it.

If it's got no MOT and been sat unmoved for years then I think it'll only be worth what someone is prepared to pay for it. It'll probably need new tyres all round too at the very least.0

Auto Trader is pretty good if you don't paying for their ad fees.Generation Rent0

To be honest I've not paid much attention to what site's best, although Ebay would appear to be very good purely because of what you can include in the advert (no limit to what to type etc.). Ebay works better if you've established yourself though (sold lots of things with 100% positive feedback is always nice!).Danger_Fourpence wrote: »@Hammyman

If it has no tax, no mot and has been sat for a few years then it's probably worthless.
Things like the tyres, belts etc will be perrished I guess, so straight away someone will be wanting to replace them.0 -
What car is it?0

owners club? could be a restoration project for someone especially if the low mileage has official proof
and you would be surprised what attracts owners clubsWho remembers when X Factor was just Roman suncream?0 -
