I had a similar thing as above, parked the old girl up in the town centre one day with a for sale sign in the window, before I had even got 100 meters away I had a phone call, and cash was exhange 30 minutes later.

Equally, I've had a car for sale for over 4 months, I tiries everything, Auto trader, signs in the window, local papers, internet sites is just wouldn't sell. Then one ad in Fast ford and the day the mag came out I had a man from wales make his way over to me in Essex and he bought it on sight.

Bought An escort cabroleit a few years back in the auctions for £600 stuck it on the drive with a sign for a £1000 on, and some woman came around and bought it the same night Never even had chance to clean it,just filled the log book in with her name and sent it off


Took 3 1/2 months to sell the old scoob though.

I'm very impressed. You actually managed to understand and complete the Autotrader web site.

I tried a couple of times and even got to the point of venting my frustration to them on their "Your Opiunion Counts" although never got a response.

I gave up in the end and went to Exchange & Mart - It was soooooo easy and had so much response I panicked into thinking I was being scammed.

Could have sold the Scoob within 6 hours but put them off until the following day.
