Selling Car

OK - lets cut to the chase unless you're paying us commission to sell for you
You have as much access to anyone else on current prices.
If you want to sell quicker than others then you have to
a) Sell cheaper (than their actual selling price rather than their advertised price)
b) Have a better car - condition/miles/extras/T&T/warranty etc etc
c) sell 'better' i.e. get your car in front of it's target audience when they have money to spend
In reality from the information you've given you're in negative equity - you bought 'high' (from a dealer with warranty) and your selling 'low' (privately with no warranty) - the difference between these prices and the extra age/mileage since you bought is significant.
It's probably not what you want to hear but unless you're on a double digit APR it's likely to cost you less in the medium/long term to keep your car than to change it0 -
Thanks for all the advice, it is appreciated.0

If you don't need to sell the Fiesta, don't. While Fiat has upped its game, it's still not as good a car in the long run than what you have. Realistically a private sale of such a common car will not even get you £5k.0
