    I don't really drive which is why I want to sell the car. I knew of two dealers near me but one said the car wasn't suitable for requirement, as I explained & the other said they don't buy cars from members of the public. Just thought someone here might be able to suggest somewhere but clearly not!

    Well where are they? I don't know of any which is what I'm trying to find out. Am I not saying it right?


    WE aren't your mother, go and have a drive, you aren't interested in advice that may help you sell your car privately, you won't tell us anything more than a year and model, you haven't told us how much you were offered by the online places and you haven't said how much you advertised it for.


    What exactly do you want, one of us to come round yours and drive it to a dealer for you.

    There are hundreds of used car dealers in South London, put some fuel in it and drive round South London tomorrow.

    Personally I think you have no idea how much your car is worth and are asking for too much.

    You do know it is a Focus not a Ferrari?

    If you put your car up for sale privately for even a few hundred more than trade price and state strictly no offers somebody will snap your hand off for it. Assuming its not luminous green rusty with no history and has been in a serious shunt.

    Of course it might just have something simple like a 'we support everton sticker' in the back window:D
