Car:
Black Sept 04 5door WRX
9k, balance of 3yr waranty/free servicing.
WRSport BB and STI filter, Blackjax.

What is the best method to sell the car without attacting test pilots, or worse people who come and scope your house so they can come and get it for free later.(Paranoid I know but I've had them in the house twice before for the keys).

On here obviously, Autotrader, local paper, etc.
What method do I use to only attract serious interest(show me they have arranged insurance for test drive, ask for cash deposit while test driving, ask to see proof of ability to purchase)

Dealer offered me £14k to take the car off me(down from 20k in 7 months!, how nice of them)

regards

PS any idea how much I should ask if I want it sold in 3 months?

Don't know how much - other cars with the same spec etc on Autotrader is always a good indicator of what cars are going for. Cross ref with Parkers!

www.pistonheads.com is where I have sold my last car (FREE). Not a sniff through Autotrader.

Don't give out details (address) until you are happy they are serious. Tone they use, questions they ask info they try and get out of you (when are you going to be out - do you use it to commute to work) etc

At the end of the day you want/have to sell it so worst case it gets nicked and you can claim insurance.

Good luck

When you've saved up another £3500 come back and I promise to sell it back to you for £7000 :D

And everyone's happy :D
