Hi,

Looking at selling my car, what sites would people reccommemd? Thinking Gumtree and Auto Trader unless people can suggest anything better?

Get a couple of page 3 models posing for a picture with the car. Then sell the car to a naïve lad who’s just passed their test at 17 by telling them that this car attracts fit birds..

tried that

If you want a reasonable appreciation of your car's value, just put the details into webuyanycar.com

If you then double their valuation, you won't be far from the correct figure

Red V5Cs now on the way after a massive batch of blue ones got stolen,lol.

Ignore grumpy pants up there.

Autotrader, gumtree etc are great, though autotrader isn't cheap if you don't sell quickly. But despite my reservations, I found webuyanycar to be excellent.

Depends on your motor and circumstances. I got an ok estimate online and booked to see them. They took a good look, noted any imperfections and/or required work and made me a final offer, I was extremely pleased. It was very quick and easy and the cash was in my bank within a day. For me, far better than faffing around getting work done, taking pictures, messing about online and dealing with tyre-kickers or agencies. And the sale was guaranteed and safe.

You might not quite end up with as much as if you sold privately but factor in costs and there's probably not much difference.

Just put mine in for a lol and £415.01 wow amazing dint think a car that does 600 miles every week could be so worth so much ha ha #ripoff

webuyanycar.com managed to come up with value of £3,160 for a '56 plate Passat Sport 2.0 TDi 4motion estate. Just slightly over 50% of book.

As I said, depends on the individual car. Mine was worth £4,500 if in perfect condition sold privately, but needed a fair bit of body work, 2 tyres, alloys were pretty chewed, tax and MOT, plus it had a horribly loud steel exhaust I'd got on the cheap. I got £3,800, which is much better then buggering around getting all that sorted, and then messing around advertising - not the mention the costs involved.

Fact is, they were based at Carcraft and while I'd never use Carcraft to buy, they've got the facilities to sort out all those minor niggles in no time and for minimal cost and hence make me what was a very fair offer.

Also, they don't hold to the online quote, they do a full assessment on site; my online quote was lower then my final amount.

I have priced it on webuyanycar and they would offer £3300, it says on parkers that i should be asking for around £4700 and seen as though it has zero damage on the car, i want to avoid getting £3300 if possible!
