    What is the best way to sell them? Is it worth doing any work first? They're worth about 3 grand each.
    Bring them down to the car lot and I'll do you a deal.

      I'm looking to trade them in for a cut and shut Ford Capri. Can you arrange finance as well?

        I'm selling me trusty old Yaris (bought when I started my first job out of Uni) so a timely thread.

        I guess on a 10-year-old car, getting scratches and dents sorted out is a waste of time since anyone buying a 10-year-old small car is only after affordability and reliability?

          Ebay is the best way these days, even cars with no MOT do well, make sure you list all the faults. No-one buys autotrader these days or exchange and mart (compared with 10 years ago anyway).


          PS if the engine lights are on, you have one of two issues, engine or electrical problems, depending on the severity this could seriously affect the resale value. Book resale values are based on good working order.
          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.”

            Once you in the 2-3k market its probably not worth it. I would expect electrics to work and no engine lights because they could be very costly items to fix.

              what are the details -kids are currently running something similar and may be suitable for spares

                  Not really, the chips away people would charge about £80-£100 to tidy up some dents and scratches. This is exactly what many a trader would do before presenting a car on the forecourt. Small cars sell very well especially ones which appear to have been well looked after.

                    Great - having seen your credit record, I'd rather have the folding.

                      give "loot" a try. i sold my old volvo (1.5k) within a week on there, but beware some professional buyers hang around there to get good deals.
                      Happy days every day...just keep invoicing.
