Question Help! Where to sell a car?!

I've got a car I need to shift - where is a decent place to sell?

eBay seems a lot of hassle with so many time wasters. Autotrader is £26 which seems a bit steep to me - any other decent places to try??

I sold my Supra on Pistonheads after not really attracting that much attention on eBay or Autotrader (apart from annoying companies and people from foreign lands).

Will defo give pistonheads a go then
It's nothing exotic - '04 Audi A3 2.0 TDi Sport with 175bhp remap, so pretty rapid

Any other places worth advertising?

Pretty much have to sell as the car allowance I get from work states the car must be no more than 4 years old, and they've started enforcing it!

Paid £10k in Jan, and to be honest would take £6k for it, so yeah getting a bit shafted!

Just whacked it on pistonheads, and am actually tempted with autotrader as doesnt sound like there's loads of other great options!

People have said some good stuff about autotrader lately. Might be worth a try.

I still think ebay is the best place.

Just as many fools on autotrader....in fact probably the same fools.

Yeah last time I sold a car I used autotrader which just resulted in lots of agency calls, offering to sell the car for me which was annoying!

eBay does seem to be full of timewasters, but at least it gives you a lot of exposure
