I am selling my car an wanted to know what experience people had, and what gave the best results....

So far ive had more enquiries via ebay than i have of 3 weeks in autotrader....

I have it advertised on here, Autotrader, Ebay, PistonHeads..

 

Be realistic with the price and it'll sell - mine sold on here in 3 days. As did my MY00 when I sold that in 2003...

Seriously, forget what price guides say, and forget what you think its worth. Find out what you're offered in part ex against a car you fancy, then add a bit onto that and try to shift it.

 

I believe the price is very realistic......for the car and its condition....

 

Auto Trader normally best. Agree with Chiark, the price must be too high if you've not had much interest. Have you tried the dealers? - I sold my last Scoob to a main dealer for not much less than I would have got privately - mind you that was 5 years ago!

2005 EU STis (non DCCD) are available for £21200 (+ security) which isn't helping the price of second hand ones

Good luck with the sale,

Cheers,

Ian.

 

Sorry BAH, it wasn't a dig - I dunno what you're selling, or what you're asking for it. I just know that I ended up looking through autotrader, seeing what price was being asked for cars like mine, then setting my price lower. The part ex offer that I got was frankly insulting, but OTOH if that's what I was going to get for chopping the car, then that's what it would have been.

My buyer did mention that he could have a new car for 15,700 as an import... That's got to be something to bear in mind unfortunately

 

Sorry to hear the ain't shifting Bah, it was the picture of it on the track in the member gallery that put me off

Have you tried Top Marques? aka the plush Auto Trader...

 

Hi

Just recently sold my car, went up on the free sites about 4 weeks ago (SN, pistonheads, findit, loot, SIDC) to which I had a few email enquiries but no viewings.

I had tons of canvessers though

Then put it in Autotrader for one week last Thursday, had 3 calls about the car, 1st viewer bought it on the Saturday.

Since you've already had it in autotrader for 3 weeks I'm not sure what else you can do, unless move on price or raise the target audience. Is it modified at all? If so return it to Standard, lower the price and see what happens.

Now that February's pay cheques are in you should see the market pick up a bit

Good luck with the sale.
