Best way to sell a car

[Spider178]

Just after peoples opinions on the best way to sell a car.
Privately - Prob the best price but a bit of a hassle.
Auctions or dealer - Less hassle = less money.

What about the best place to advertise if going private sale? Have people had much luck with carsales website or maybe Ebay or Gumtree.

Personal experiences more than welcome.

Depends on the type of car. If it's a decent car that would spark the interest of a car enthusiast (Skyline, WRX, S15 etc) then a car forum would be the best because the people that want it would be looking all the time and it's free to list.

If it's a regular car then put it everywhere. Cars sell everywhere if they are priced correctly. Even if it's a daily driver, it would be OK to post it on an enthusiast forum, as they often want a comfortable daily as a change from their sports car.

When I sell a car, I check out the redbook price, look at private sale and trade in price and then offer it at a value between the two. Based on that value, your car would be worth about $8500. When I use this value, I usually sell my car very quickly.

i just throw it on the highway with all the other cars for sale, sold a few cars this way and they sold within the weekend in saying that i didnt put a stupid price on it

word of mouth around your friends/family then theres all the car websites ebay,gumtree etc

Think I might give Ebay a go, maybe try 9k and see what happens.

You may find it hard to sell a family car at this time of year, too. So don't get discouraged if you sit on it for a while.

No great rush for it to go, just see what happens.
