I've sold all my previous cars on autotrader but they car £25 as apposed to ebay which charge £12.99. Still not too sure

Local paper I would have thought at that price.

I sold my Fiesta on ebay, got more than I thought I would too!

Autotrader, ebay is for junk.

Most people I know use both Ebay and Autotrader when looking to buy a car.

However, most of those people eventually ended up buying from Autotrader ads in the end.

Pistonheads, sold my old rover really quick. It's also free.

Autotrader, Pistonheads, eBay
In that order.

I'll only even look on ebay to lol at barry'd sheds and see how much parts are, everyone I know uses Autotrader and local papers. Pistonheads if they are into cars but 90% of my mates will buy from Autotrader.

Looks like autotrader it is. Spoke to my wife and we'd be happy with £950-1k. AT do the bargain package @ £9.99 if the car is priced at 1k or less so might give that a go. No point in paying £25 if all i want is 950ish.

Cheers

stick it on PH too, it's free!

Personally i can't see any harm in just putting a car advertisement starting at 99p on ebay just to gather interest, even state in the advertisement what prices your roughly looking for and then remove it before it gets to the last 12 hrs. Whats the worst thing they can do? just remove it...

I've always gathered loads of interest just by doing this, wheres the harm?

Not sure i'd want to fork out autotrader before at least trying this first for free.
