El Cid Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Note down the average price against mileage. Look to see which stand out and why, and which ones look drab. But make sure its the sale price, and not the selling price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonzo77 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 Webuyanycar.com gave me a good price for my wifes old car. If you're in a rush and can't be doing with the hassle of selling privately, give them a go. Doesn't cost anything. They will never give you as much as some mug might via a private sale, but consider the cost of private advertising and the extra insurance and tax you will have to pay between now and then.....might just add up?! Plus, you can claim any outstanding tax back if you sell to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rozie Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 We recently sold our car. Just put an advert in the car window, parked it on our street, and the following day someone bought it. We knocked £400 off the price but we were pleased to get it sold so quickly. However, 2 weeks later the buyer came knocking on the door saying he had had a diagnostic check done and there was a list of faults (he said they amounted to over £2000) and he wanted his money back. This was ridiculous as we had only bought the car just over 3 months previously from a dealer. If there had been any faults with it we could have taken it back to the dealer as it had 3 months warranty on it! This situation has not yet been resolved but it has certainly put us off selling privately again. Has anyone else had a similar experience. It would be interesting to know.

Thats the risk you take when buying privately,did he actually show you the diagnostic check print out,if not i reckon he is trying it on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell them to do one, there's nothing they can do legally. Your not a dealer, you can't be expected to know the exact mechanical state of your car. Unless they have concrete proof you deceived them to any faults present then they do not have a leg to stand on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anoushenka Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I agree with EBay, my husband has sold a few of our cars on there and it has always worked well for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NorthernStar Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I once sold a car on here and it was gone within a couple of hours of posting it, often wondered if I ripped myself off because I got loads of calls and pm's. ...... but even so I just wanted rid before the insurance ran out.

confuse Posted August 27, 2013 Share Posted August 27, 2013 I am selling my sisters car, we had limited success on ebay. It was on sale for £800 at first, and then £750, a few offers around £600. We didnt accept the offers, put it on a 7 day auction, and got £365 !!!! The car is MOTed, but not taxed and off the road. But the buyer was zero rated, and wasnt interested. Next step ?? ---------- Post added 07-08-2013 at 20:31 ---------- It has been on Gum Tree too. Have you try a scrap yard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
