    As above. Just sold my partners car today.

    WBAC were much lower, so went to a local garage and sold it within 10mins for more. Rang a few dealers and got an idea of the price and used that to haggle a bit.

    Another option, leave it on a main road (parked legally) with a price in the window!

    I sold 2 cars for my wife that way
