Hmmm... [commencement of advice from person who has no experience whatsoever of selling a Beetle Cabrio
]
1 is it a Karmann or a later/other conversion?
2 do you belong to a car club to do with said car?
3 if anything like OOF, then 2 may not be the place, as we've all got our cars, and don't need another, so to speak. In a way you're looking for that private individual who
wants one, as opposed to a collector/enthusuast who knows every little thing to look for and really will only offer less than its value, as they may wish to break it/use it for other purposes/projects.
4 Whatever, you're ideally aiming to avoid selling to a dealer, due to the consequential lower price.
Autotrader gets the most press and to be fair, probably the most (serious buyer) views. Ebay always seems to offer lower prices, may be talking out my exhaust, but thats how its always seemed to me.
I'd say you really need that disposable income person who wants one, and ordinarily would walk upto a classic car dealer/specialist, and pick their car that way. Find that individual, and charge 2p less than the dealer would for your car, and you're getting plenty more than youd ever get selling to a dealer or similar. Personally I'd be looking at getting to some car shows. Make a For Sale sign, make sure all relevant documentation is there to be viewed, and let the people who love those cars (as that's why
at a Car Show there in the first place) drool over your lovely motor and hopefully make an offer. Also saves that godawful waiting around for no-shows, tyre kickers etc.. Because
they've come to
you, you're not lifting a finger, you're just at a Show and enjoying the sunshine.
