Default Auto trader?

Just wondering if anyone uses auto trader to sell any more? Or is it that eBay crap now?
Asking really as I hate selling cars and that eBay is a joke to try and sell anything. As everyone wants stuff for a quid.

Cars do tend to sell quick on autotrader but a lot of people I no use Gumtree. I sold my last car on there within a week of advertising and It's free to post so can't hurt to put it on .

I put some vans on gumtree for my old employer as we were (mostly) all getting the push and they were surplus to requirements. One of the vans, a Vauxhall combo, the phone rang literally five seconds after I had pressed place ad, and within a couple of hours was on its way with its new owner.
It's free to advertise, you can put as much as you like in the description and you get to put four (I think) pictures up for free, any more and you have to pay extra.

For reference, Gumtree is owned by eBay; so it will be Interestimg to see how long the 'free' part lasts.

Ive sold my last three cars on ebay. Just pay for a classified ad with no make an offer option. Piece of ****.

If you put it on an auction listing of course its gonna go for peanuts,i its not rocket science!

And autotrader is just to expensive. Simples

I sold my H6 outback on Autotrader within 12 hours, and also bought my current turbo 2000 on Autotrader. In fact, the guys I bought it from advertise solely on Autotrader.

Think so.. Wen I sold my sport I checked autoloader and there a rip.off. Gumtree was free so put it on there. It's worth a try for free (if it's ur 1st time)

Sold (just about) mine on here without even an advert.

(Mods - don't get excited, a suitable donation will be made as and when).

Anyway, point I'm making is that it's a couple of quid and as long as you put a reasonable price you'll get reasonable prospective buyers.

Er... you're not selling a non-Subaru are you?????????????????

Gumtree charges now. Don't even think you get to advertise 1 car for free anymore. It's about 13 quid per advert
