:rotfl: nope, it's called making money/business, of which, the basic premise is to buy something cheap and sell it on for a profit.

Yes, because so many "honest" people trade their cars in with faults but "forget" to mention them.

I've bought and sold a fair few cars in my time. Pistonheads seems to attract people asking for swaps, autotrader is always canvassers never genuine. Ebay every time. 30 day advert listing at a good price, if it doesn't sell relist for free, 7 day auction ending on a Sunday evening.

Prices may not be up to much, but it compares all the options from instant online car buyers other than weBuyAnyCar (who I wouldn't touch with a bargepole).

Good option if you've exhausted selling on eBay, Auto Trader, local dealers etc.

I think even the OP will have sold two YEARS later. Nice Spam though

Good spot, I hadn't noticed the thread was so old!

Is it a requirement that you mention motorway in all your posts?

Hi everyone,
I guess I should sound optimistic, but I am really not happy trying to sell my car to dealerships etc and not receiving even a reasonable amount for the car. I have had several valuations from autotrader etc and therefore I can the asking price is reasonable, but I don't know why they are reducing the price so much. I have also listed the car on gumtree and autotrader to try and sell it, but not received much attention. What am I doing wrong, how can I sell it? For the quality of the car and how well it functions etc, this should have been a non-issue. But sadly, this is not the case. Any help, any advice?
