Selling car in Autotrader - web or paper version?

I have found the best way is to advertise on multiple free sites. Copy and paste.
Adding another one to the previous list of free sites

Just be careful when advertising online. for example the guy who comes down gives you a cheque and disappears with your car and than you go to the bank to find the cheque bounces.

Dealers seem to be selling equivalent for £14800 and we've got ours on at £13000 ono and would take £12000.

Tracyk, I have bought and sold many cars...... if the dealer price is £14,800 I would advertise the car at £11,995 and expect £11,000.

Not a good time to sell a car, people have realised the economy has gone t*ts up.

Try having a look at http://www.webuyanycar.com/ and pop the details of the car into there for a quotation... I'm looking at selling my BMW at the moment and the quote they sent for buying mine wasnt a million miles away from book price...

I think it depends very much on the car. They offered me £50 for a '97 Astra that I sold for £650 in the end

I put my old car online with AT and it was sold within a day or so. I had given it a really good polish and the pics looked great. I had no problems and no nutters calling me!! When it was sold I edited my ad and removed my phone no.

I've posted similar before so apologies if you've already read this.

Just sold my car on Autorader (Web only). I thought I had a problem as I was getting no calls but then month end came around and, I guess, people got paid. Before that I had only the occasional idiot call but by the 2nd of the month I could have sold it 4 or 5 times easily.

I really believe it was "Payday Syndrome".
