How did/would you sell your car?

Just curious as to what people's experiences are. So far we have only ever part exchanged our cars when purchasing a new one - going for the simpler option really, even though I think you tend to lose out on the car's real value.

However this time the car is worth quite a bit more than the car we are planning to buy, and the ar we are going to sell/part ex is a very sought after car.

It is a new style, one year old Golf GTi (2 litre) with 10k on the clock, not yet serviced as not necessary, 11 months tax remaining at moment and in excellent condition. It is worth as a part ex at leat 16-17k and sell in VW garages for around £19k. They are pretty hard to get hold off outside of VW garages.

So, what are your experiences? Where/How have you sold? Is it worth the hassle of selling it yourself? Did you get more money for your car?

Thank you.

Thanks all. Lots to think about.

Still waiting for quotes from two dealers. The car doesn't book at the moment, so they have to go to specialists to gget an accurate price.
