To hate selling cars

I am selling an old car which was bought as a temporary stop gap
I’ve listed it at below market value for quick sale and would negotiate a bit more
everyone who rings wants a huge discount before they have even seen it
one person asked if I could drop price by 30% and deliver it 30 miles away and told me I was being unreasonable when I pointed out that I was not willing to drive an uninsured and non taxed vehicle
finally got a reasonable sounding person who asked genuine questions and seemed keen - I’ve now wasted 1/2 a day waiting in for them!!!
Has anyone used a car buying site successfully as am getting very tempted?

Have you tried we buy any car? Or similar?

Had anybody tried we buy any car? With good results?
I tried a similar one a while ago when selling my own car - got offered £2.5k - I sold it on Autotrader for £7k so have been somewhat put off

WBAC is good for selling a car with a problem which is what I did

Where are you advertising?

Places that are free attract the dregs of society, best price mate?

Try AutoTrader

I wouldn't respond to anybody that asks what your best price is or will you give them some money off before they've even seen the car. Just block them

It’s on auto trader at the moment
I’ve put registration number into wow and waiting for prices
