Selling a Nissan Cabstar dropside truck

Hi

I moved over 200 miles to my new home and have decided not to continue with the business I used to run. I have a 1994 Nissan Cabstar 2.5D dropside truck to dispose of and hoping that someone may be able to advise me where best to advertise to sell.

There used to be a lot for sale on ebay and autotrader but from the very small numbers advertised there now, this is no longer the best place to sell.

    This is not an advert - just looking for genuine advice as everything seems to have changed since I bought the truck off Ebay 4.5 years ago. There were literally dozens of older trucks for sale then, now just a handful. I'm thinking that there must be a recommended place to sell a good truck.

    I would say that makes them the best place to sell. You're better selling where there are fewer of a particular model than having 100's of competing sellers of the same vehicle.

    Autotrader is your friend here, but with the age of the pick-up you will have to hope that some enterprising person is just about to set up a gardening business or similar.
    Best of luck.

    Looks like a lot of Nissan Cabstar dropsides on ebay to me ...

    Lol - not a vehicle to take your driving test in but you will have to look hard to find a better cabstar of this age - even the seats are not ripped. The problem with selling this type of vehicle is the number of sad timewasters they seem to attract - I would want to try to avoid that but they are absolutely everywhere lurking like cockroaches:-)
