as above i have a car forsale and just thinkin where do other ppl advertise there car are there more than i can think of
Auto trader, piston heads, ebay
where else is there
-
I now always start with ebay; Classified ad with best offer. Only costs £15 or so for 28 days. Some of the stupid computer/marketing people ruined autotrader, I get so many people complain about the new autotrader website saying they no longer use it.
I start with ebay, if after 15 days no joy, it then goes on autotrader aswell.
I've never used pistonheads or any other site like that, so I'm afraid I can't be much help. But I have heard people have had a quick sale using 'Gumtree', may be worth a go.

eBay, gumtree and pistonheads are the best bets :y
Auto Trader is pathetic now.

Had many funny moments looking for used cars, years ago "Exchange and Mart" was all we had, what a farce that was, see car, phone up, drive 40 miles across London only to find it had just been sold >:(
Autotrader sellers prices, or "how long is a piece of string" . ::)
Ebay ads, like cheap wallpaper, hide a multitude of sins. :-? one seller i asked for a viewing in Reading told me a day during that month would be inconvenient - "why is that?" i innocently asked, "my wife's taken it to Devon" ... :(
Gumtree never tried them, Loot seemed overpriced for private sales, most cars i have bought from dealers, though expensive at least you get a year's MOT and a 3 month "guarantee", though many horror stories - one Escort i bought needed a wheel change, i jacked the car but the car stayed still and the jack carried on right up through the floor. Another dealer when returning the car for them to repair faults were so surly and unco-operative i took Dad along for protection...
Never buy or sell a car to a mate...ever after will be "that car you sold me" for every tiny fault, they won't be your "mate" for long :-[
Find a recommended dealer, have the car AA tested and you won't go far wrong....but it is always a risk - caveat emptor ;)
