Anyone here know anything about how to sell a car?

[Earlybird]

Is there a website or book that will tell me the market value of my little car? Thinking of selling it, and have no idea how to price it.

It's about 6 years old, but has lots of extras and extremely low mileage. Do I bump up the price a bit to take that into account?

It's also been off road for over a year, so will probably need a new battery, maybe new tyres, an MOT and isn't currently taxed. Presumably that is a negative.

Finally - what's the best way to sell a car? Any advice would be most helpful.

Look at autotrader online
You can buy a price guide book called What Used Car in the newsagents - that'll give you a guide to used prices

Thanks for the tip. Anyone else?

Parkers (I think) do a guide - there seem to be several in WHSmith.

I'd look on random website selling second hand cars & try and find something similar to see a price.

OH sold a rally car on ebay. It seemed easy enough but he had to post it up twice.

try www.parkers.co.uk which tells you the value for private good, average and poor condition cars for free. You have to pay if you put in your exact mileage.
Autotrader.co.uk is also good for looking at price comparisons. I have sold a car on ebay before which went smoothly, but I may have been lucky. Otherwise local free ads are best. If you could get 12 months MOT you'd have more of an advantage too.

Autotrader is the only hassle free way especially - I hate to say it - for any woman who doesnt want much bother.Someone comes out and photographs the car, you give some details, pay about £20 and wait for the phone to ring.
I would ask for £50-£100 more than you would accept.
Good luck. I've sold two cars this way and it was easy peasy.

i sold mine by autotrader, to a garage!! It was sinple and relatively good value, hassle free. My car had low mileage but that didnt help when selling it and got less than I wanted, but it was more than the garage the new car was from were offering me. Good luck.

Do you also have a local free-ads/ad-trader yellow paper, its free to advertise your car in there for one week

You can add photos and do your autotrader ad online which is less hassle, or at least was for me
