    Sold my RRS last week in carzone with a link to a video of it on youtube. It all depends on where you price it relative to other similar motors. You can have it in every papaer but it won't sell if its not on the money.

    Got rid of mine through The Dealer, a free ads magazine in the North West.

    Took a couple of attempts but once a new NCT was put on her she sold within two days.

    I found autotrader and cbg just a waste of money - the local paper for me .
