Car sale - Where?

wil_scotland · Post by **wil_scotland** » Mon Jul 02, 2007 8:34 pm

Looking for some advice. Have just finished my MSc course at uni, which has meant that I need a bigger car for my pending new job. Must have four seats and not two, which rules out my vx220.

Anyway I have put it on Pistonheads but am attracting loads of people wanting to swap other cars.

I am considering going down the ebay/autotrader route. However, I really donâ€™t want to be contacted by folk from Nigeria asking me to cash cheques etc .

Other than Pistonheads, where should I advertise?

I am already in the owners club mate.

I was going to list it up there too.

Cheers for the thoughts.

Think the g/f would have something to say about that trade.

Just sold mine on eBay after it being on for 24hours, and for the full asking price. Gets my vote every time (thats the 7th car sold on eBay).

Or maybe put it on Pistonheads in the right section

LOL, I wondered when someone would notice it.

I was really interested to see how the views would differ for the lotus page compared with the VX220 page.

Will probably take it off as I know it is a little cheeky.

P.S. Congrats on MSc & Job. What are you doing?

People looking on Pistonheads are going to know what they are after I`d have thought. I got a lot of interest from both eBay and PH, but probably because it was a cheap car.

I got a lot more watchers on eBay after I put up the Pistonheads advert with a link to the eBay ad, then it sold 24hrs after I did that.

I think you could be right with your observations about PH JJ.

Did you sell your car on ebay using the auction style sale or did you use the classified advert?

Thanks Dom.

MSc in Geographical Informations Systems

Pending work will be working on environmental projects - Wind farms, EIA, SEA, urban regeneration. That sort of thing.

In terms of the Golf GTi it has not been taken off my list yet. I was very impressed with it that day I came out a run with you.

Wil is selling his car.

Again.

or is he

EDIT : Biggest problem with Pistonheads IMHO is the chance of getting someone to come this far north to buy the car.

Surely at £40 autotrader is worth a punt ?

Disagree, sorry

I sold an AMG Merc in less than a week to a chap from London thru pistonheads...

It's my 1st point of advertising a car - free, so no hassle
