Advice - Selling Car

valleyboy84

Hello

Just wondering if anyone had any quick suggestions to sell my car... I am due to get a company car in just over a week, so need to sell my current wheels (no outstanding finance).

I have gone down the approach of the usual websites - the webuy/wewant, ebay, Piston Heads, Pre Loved, Gumtree and the local Motors website, but very little interested so far...

Any golden nuggets much appriciated

approach a local dealer and see if he/she is willing to negotiate a price that fair for you and them, you get a decent price they get a sell on profit margin.

What car are you trying to get rid of? Makes a whole lot of difference to advising to put it on Gumtree or pay for a flash colour ad in a glossy.

If you have a price from the we buy your car for pennies brigade you will have an idea what its worth.

Stick it on ebay starting at that price or offers around 20% more.

Still not getting much interest - dropped the price but still nothing

Less than a week until I pick up my company car now...

The could be because it is still over priced.

Well using the We Buys value + 20% its pretty spot on... but guess the only way maybe down

What car is it? If it's a popular car then it shouldn't be so difficult to sell. Time of year may play a part.

Do you have anywhere to put it off the road? I wouldn't rush to sell it unless you really need it gone.

Have you tried an owners club website? ie if it is a Renault Clio you could go on a Renault Owners site to see if anybody wants to buy it from there?

Like you have said Pistonheads but I think this is more for performance cars.

I have sold my last 2 cars that could be classed as performance on Auto Trader, it was quite pricey but we managed to get what we wanted so didn't mind.

Ironically the car before was a 1.2 clio which sold on Pistonheads!
