Where did You sell your car??

Smithers

with so many places to sell cars and people advertising on alot of sites and paper publications I was wondering about what sucess people had with each ones and what ones worked best.

Though a poll and peoples experiences would be good.

Yo mate,

Well when I had the old Primera and swapped it ended up selling it at the Car auctions in Cavan, got 500 quid for it which was agood deal for the buyer because the engine and body where perfect on the car

Sold a couple of cars for my girlfriend by sticking them on the main st in Clonee on a Sat and Sun, most if every took was 2 weeks. Last car I was selling was GF as well. 00 Audi A3, stuck it up on carzone and sold it within a month.

You should have a traded-it-in option in the poll!

I've sold 2 cars privately, both through the buy and sell, one took months, I kind of had it advertised on and off, the other took less than two weeks.

Past two years:
1 through CBG (took longest [c. 1 month], but least desirable car)
1 through Boards - now adverts.ie (<2 weeks)
1 to a mate - instant!

Going to sell my current car after Xmas and will put it in buy & sell, CBG & adverts.ie

1 through Carzone and 1 through Autotrader. It was on Car zoner for ages and a week in Autotrader it was sold.

Never bothered before to be honest as my cars usually are still worth a few quid which makes it harder to sell them to a private buyer imo. Not alot of buyers willing to send €15k or €20k on a car with no warranty or comeback. I know I wouldn't.

Plus there are alot of time wasters and con artists out there. Maybe a bit paranoid but I'm not gone on the idea of letting complete strangers come to my home.

May have to this time with my current motor as dealers tend not to be interested in having cars with 100k+ miles on the clock on their forecourts.

Other - Sold it through word of mouth. First person who saw it bought it.

had it advertised on all the free ad places

Had my Civic Coupe on Adverts for a while. Had a few offers, but nothing close to what I was looking for.

Sold it for full wack on Buy and Sell.. Didn't even get bargained down.
