Cheap way to sell a car?

Hi Folks,
I'm looking for a cheap way to sell a car.
We have a 1997 Citroen that is perfectly good and MOTed until the end of June, but wasn't so good when the baby came along, so we're looking to sell it. The car is only worth about 300£ max, any ideas on a cheap way to sell it?
Thanks,
BatCat

    £6.99 for 2 weeks on autotrader website (cars under £1000)

  • Sticking it in local papers is always a good shot, usually no cost.
    Other site might be buyandsell.ie ... they have free advertising, online and in their paper!
    If folks are walking past / driving past your house, then a wee sign on the windscreen can help.
    £10 a day in November = £593.31 / £300

    The short MOT will kill its value quite a bit. I'd stick on autotraders website for £6.99 for two weeks. you can take your own pics and upload them.

    Try https://www.gumtree.co.uk, they have a section for N.ireland. I sold my old car on there and picked up a new one as well.
    Doesn't cost a penny.
    Coming soon............
    Brand new baby first showing in November!
