Opinions on where to sell my car

[mattrumss]

Hi

I am wanting to sell my clio 182 and wondered if it was worth becoming a member on here to sell it or sell it through Pistonheads.

I put it on pistonheads last but didnt get much interest, do you think i would get more interest here?

Thanks in advance

matt

Put it on here. Good description and good pictures.

List all the important info and include details about previous belt change.

£12 odd for an advert that will last until the car sells.

Generally the best place to sell a car is Autotrader.

Is that through experience?

I've never had any interest on Autotrader. It's been here/pistonheads.:dapprove:

 

[mattrumss]

Thanks for the reply adam. That makes sense, ill sort out a membership and put it up later.

 

[mattrumss]

Autotrader is expensive too

It is, although to be fair I have been mainly selling cars that are sub 2K. The last car I sold I had on most sites, pistonheads, here and Gumtree for weeks and not a peep. Within five days on Autotrader it had sold.

Autotrader, sold mine in 15 minutes!

I would put it up for sale on here and Pistonhead.
I would def buy a Clio sport off a member on here, but for me pistonhead was more active in the terms that people wanted to buy and not just look.
Autotrader is just a waste of time, I was just contacted by scammers all the time.

 

[mattrumss]

okay, so between here and autotrader, is my money worth being spent on here or autotrader. or is it just down to luck lol. iots going to be around the 3k mark

 

[DB.]

Think of it this way, where is the first place you look when looking to buy new cars.

I know mine is Autotrader

 

[mattrumss]

Good point dave63

 

[Chip-mk1]

Its 12 quid, its not a big investment, would have thought it was worth a try joining up here to post it for that cost TBH.

I sold a 206 within 2 hours on autotrader ( you get more local interest imo)

 

[Siddle]

for the sake of £12 to join on here, and X amount on autotrader - do both if it'll ensure your £3,000 car will sell!

Gumtree

Slow! Took me 15 minutes to sell my 1.4 206 on Autotrader

Thought about buying an RS, joined here to read up on them, cup advertised here by a member, bought it.

Would have thought any serious buyer would look here first for common faults etc etc

Added bonus of scrolling through their posts to see what problems they had or bodge's they did

 

[N_Jonesy]

i would say on here as well
i have joined up in the hope of finding a nice well looked after example
seen a few posts from people saying they are thinking of selling up

This place really does beggar belief sometimes!

You have a (roughly) £3000 car that is not selling on ebay/PH etc, suprise suprise, and spending £12 enables you to advertise it on possibly the biggest clio website in the whole of the universe.... Now if that is not worth spending £12, I don't know what is.

I've lost more than £12 down the back of the sofa, it's not going to break the bank!

 

[Dan@M.A.D]

Get it up on here and also eBay. Iv'e sold as many cars on eBay as Autotrader / pistonheads.

 

[N_Jonesy]

all i am finding at the moment are people off loading there cars that need a 700-00 service and cambelt change but still want top money for them
theres a 36k 172 on ebay thats never had a belt change, i would be s**t scared to start it up let alone drive it home

This.


When i sold my 350z i got the most interest from this site and PH.

 

[CrippsCorner]

eBay for me... they always sell!

+1 on that

 

[Nanoo147]

I have brought a 197, and a 200 in the space of a month, never once thought of autotrader. Only looked on pistonheads and this site.
I'm ultra fussy, and it seems (in my experience) that autotrader is full of run of the mill cars, i find as an enthusiast you will find nicer cars through pistonheads, or here.

 

[Siddle]

Stick it on Facebook, it'll sell on there....

LOL

 

[Stan.]

Pay the £12 on here, put your car up for £3012 and you won't have lost the £12. Easy.

 

[rickyquicky]

Surprised autotrader is being recommended, ive used it (as well as pistonheads) to advertise my past 5 or 6 cars for sale that i've owned. Think I sold 1, maybe 2 through autotrader (£45), all the rest were through pistonheads (£10). Seem to get more serious enquiries through PH too.

Must come down to the type of car your selling or the area you live I suppose.

I'm selling mine in a month or 2 and won't bother with autotrader, especially not for £40!

Everyone saying Ebay, Auction or ebay classified ad?
