Best way to sell my car ??

[Dave7]

We no longer need 2 cars so are selling either one or both (to buy a newer one).
Years ago I sold one via autotrader with no problems.......but you hear of so many horror stories now.
My B.I.L just sold his using one of the "we will buy your car" sites........ so I just went on line and checked a couple out. I then looked at similar cars for sale on Autotrader........WOWZA.......the difference is massive-----30% or more.
How would you/have you sold yours ?
And if Autotrader.....how do I value my cars?

The we buy any car sites will quote you a handsome price to get you in the door then they start finding all sorts of reasons to knock the price down once you are there.

Shysters.

WBAC as described above

What’s the car?

Bear in mind asking prices on AT aren’t necessarily sale prices, same as eBay

Less hassle but no wbac, you could just chop them both in at the dealer when you get the new car

Really? Only used Gumtree YEARS ago but assumed it was for cheaper stuff like bikes etc.

 

[AndyRM]

Nope, you can sell whatever you want on Gumtree!

One is a Corsa petrol auto 13 plate......other is an Astra petrol auto 65 plate.
Both very low mileage

Autotrader, to get the price, search for your exact car (Age, Miles, Spec) and compare prices. Please don't use we buy any car car

Just be cautious and sensible

One is a Corsa petrol auto 13 plate......other is an Astra petrol auto 65 plate.

2 fairly liked cars so should sell well enough you would think

Gumtree are now owned by eBay

What car are you planning on buying? Another Vauxhall? Speak to dealer too
Although why not just keep the Astra, it’s hardly old

Whatever Corsa action you take the prices you get won't be astranomical.
