Car Valuation websites

A/ Sold all my cars bar one (ebay) through local ads. Tonnes of calls. Shifted really quickly.
B/ You'd be surprised. This will still be cheaper than a dealer. I have mates in the used car game so no just about every trick in the book.
C/ I thought that. I sold a car on ebay for around £350, and had to pay them £70. They take a percentage of the sale value.

HTH

A/ How long ago?

B/ Not at all, many dealers are selling cars lower than in the Parkers guide because they have been buying them dirt cheap. It would take something special with a low mileage to acheive Parkers inaccurate top book prices. Cars that are not priced for the market won't sell.

C/ Not for classified ads


PS If you are selling cars for £350 I'd imagine top and bottom book are very close. I'd expect the OP is selling something other than a POS

A/ 2-3 Years ago
B/ We will have to differ on this one. I understand your point though.
C/ It was a POS. I placed a classified ad, then ebay contacted me and said it was a car sale, and not a classified so had to give them £70. I got burned, and wanted to share my experience to warn others.

2-3 years ago i.e. before the recession when everyone was flush with cash. Entirely different market in the last 12 -18 months unfortunately. Anecdotally I know of a few people who can't/couldn't sell their cars at good book prices and having sold one myself this year I was getting few sniffs and took a while to find a buyer of a car that would have been easy to sell before the slump. Still the banger market is holding up well due to economic realities.

I sold my Mum's old banger using webuyanycar last year. Online they quoted £150, but when I got there they only offered me £75. They do it every time apparently. They even sent me an email saying my current car has just increased in value by £1000! Bargain.

WHS. Pistonheads + Autotrader + maybe FleaBay.

You may also try a local (indy or main) car dealer. They (were) crying out for stock, and much less hassle.

Pistonheads depends on the car though, if it's a 1.2 Fiesta it's not really the place to advertise.

Honest John from the telegraph recommends them frequently.

It's a car auction site. If you don't want the hassle of selling to the public then this is a good option.
