Where to list my Kangoo for sale

This is slightly off centre I know, but...

We're wanting to sell our old Renault Kangoo but I can't find a site that has much in the way of private sale ones. I've looked at Autotrader, Gumtree and Loot. Can anyone suggest other options for private sale of cars?

Thanks

Forgot to say that in looking for a car on Autotrader there were a few "private" sale cars, but most seemed to be priced well above Parkers Car recommended prices - so I suspect they were really dealers.

    What is wrong with using Autotrader, Gumtree and Loot? You can also try pistonheads but I would stick to Gumtree first as it is free.

    Don't forget to have loads of photos and a detailed description. It may be worth getting another sim just to use to handle sales inquires rather than listing your permanent numbers.

    Also put a foe sale poster in the window and park it where there is good traffic flow, I have sold and bought loads of cars this way, again lots of detail on the poster. Good luck.

    Don't know where you could sell it but could you possibly look at the drivers door pillar and tell me what it says after axle 1 and axle 2?

    Reason being my failed it's test as the examiner could not read it (-:

    I'd agree, but do put a price and some basic information on the poster. Not just "FOR SALE 07......."
    Yes it's overwhelming, but what else can we do?
    Get jobs in offices and wake up for the morning commute?

    Thanks all. I'd wondered if there was somewhere else that Kangoos got sold, as there are so few private sales on the 3 sites I mentioned.

    As suggested I'll try starting with Gumtree and a poster and go on from there.

    That's good- there is less choice and competition, the perfect sellers market.
