Costs about £8.51 to list car, with 4 pictures, 1 gallery picture, and to put a reserve on it - £6.51 if you don't want to put a reserve on. If your car doesn't make the reserve - that's all you pay, if it does make reserve and sells you pay a further £8. It cost me a total of £16.51! There is no guarentee that the winning bidder is going to pay up - but let's face it - for the sake of £20 I made the best part of £3000 more than I would have got on a trade-in. I tried Autotrader at £16,000 and didn't even get 1 phone call - not even any timewasters! I was sceptical too, but honest to God eBay is definately worth a try!

After the end of the auction on Sunday night, he called me to tell me that he'd just "won" the WRX. He collected the car on Wednesday - paid by bankers draft which we deposited at my bank together so that we could both have a reciept. No problems at all! I'd highly recommend eBay. You just have to be careful with your wording "bid is to buy, not to view - all questions / viewings must be completed before a bid is placed" etc etc.

It's in the AutoTrader ....without a picture
Why is nothing ever straightforward?

How long is it going to take to get to yours from the M3/M25 junction?

I'm pretty busy most of the way through December but wouldn't mind trying to come and have a look at it if I can get the time out to drive up.

Loads of offers from people who want to part-chop their cars which is a no-go, I'm afraid.

Biggles, sending you email.

Autotrader have managed to miss the photo off my ad for the second week running.
Can't fault their complaints service though.

£11500. Didn't think we'd get anything for it as a trade-in at a garage in March.

Thanks for that - somebody has a lot of car for not so much money, thought you would have got much closer to £12500 think this time of year is also slow / difficult to sell a car.

Yes, it's a bloody good motor for that money.

Didn't really have to sell until February, but thought it would be more attractive to buyers with a couple of months Subaru warranty. Plus we wanted to know where we stood money-wise with regards to buying its replacement.

I can't believe you let it go for such a low amount Someone has got themselves an absolute bargain there.
