    http://www.parkers.co.uk/ is good to find out the value if you are selling it privately.

    Then use autotrader. I always advertise mine on autotrader and also make sure you let people know around you as I have sold a couple to neighbours and friends of colleagues.

      I hate selling cars. I don`t trust private buyers and the cars I tend to have are sporty so the wrong types come along (dreamers, tyre kickers, time wasters, joy riders and even more dreamers).
      Selling to a dealer without buying another might make them chew your brass on the price but it`s worth trying them.

      I`ve heard webuyanycar will knock you down on price once you arrive to hand the car over......after you`ve driven all the way there all prepared with all your docs.

      Depending on the type of car, pistonheads could be worth a try but look out for scammers and this applies to all selling methods hence why it`s so easy and risk free to trade-in.

        But if I suspect something is about to break, sell it to a stranger

        I've had success selling through the Yorkshire Post as it's a regional paper covering a large area. For bangers I used to use the local evening rag.

          car has done sod all mileage in the 2 years I've had it. Bought it brand new, have valued it with glass.co.uk.

          It's the whole selling to complete strangers. As for dealership, I know they'll give me a tulipe rate, they did before.

            Haven't we done this once before?
            The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.

            But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

              we've just moved on from getting it priced to selling it.

                There was a lot of advice on selling it too

                      I'd hardly call a grande punto nice, it does the job, but hopefully not for much longer.
