I Won A Car

This maybe my first post but I have been using the site for about a year and entering competitions once in a while. Too my shock I have received a letter stating I have won a new Toyota Prius Hybrid.

The competion states that their is no cash alternative but I do wish to sell the car. What are my options? Would the dealership buy the vehicle? Or would I need to sell privately. I do not want too much hassel.

Look forward to hearing from anyone with any ideas.

    yes go main forum then buyers and sellers and post that you have a car that you won and would like to sell it (remember a car loses 10% on value on leaving the show room),have you asked the organisers is there a alternative to the car (ie cash),if not then do so 1st,(dont sell to a garage they wont give you a good deal it better to do it through auto trader ect)

    well done:)
    If I were lucky enough to win a brand new car I would sell it and buy a cheaper one and then with the surplus amount I would insure it for the year.
