Hi guys,
what are the best sites to sell a car on other than ebay ?
as ive had my car on there a few times and no real interest, its not over priced or a complete reck.
So where do you guys get the best results selling your cars without loads of idiots trying it on with stupid offers ?
cheers

depends on vehicle

cheapies i use Gumtree (free to advertise)
pistonheads for anything a bit different (assming they keep it the way it is at the moment)
Autotrader if normal motors under £1000 (costs a £10)
Ebay can be good sometimes but everyone wants a bargain

As said, gumtree for the cheapies, pistonheads followed by autotrader after that.

Never fail with these, but then i make sure the car is super clean inside and out, good clear photos in a nice area and a clear to the point write up with a competetive price.

If it wont shift, it is normally either over priced or the pictures/write up is naff and no effort put in so check both are spot on before sticking it up.
