Chaps, anyone have any experience of selling a prestige/sports car through one of these sales schemes?

I am time poor, can't be bothered with endless evenings showing the car to people, worrying about their insurance on a test drive, fielding phone calls etc. Most dealers simply offer sale or return for about £1500.

Frankly, I just want rid of the car and cash up front. What I don't want to do is sign up to a website and enter my details, and then have marketing gimps calling me for ever more.

Dealers seem unwilling to part with cash, as sale or return is easy cash for them for no outlay, and no-one who has the car I want want to take mine in part exchange (or at least they don't bother responding to e-mails)

So has anyone here used one of these schemes to move a car fast? Car's probably worth £35k, would take a few thousand hit just to be rid quickly, so I can move on to next purchase.

I would like the cash, as I am sick of the hassle of running two sports cars, and want a Ferrari 599.

Assume you are looking to sell your Aston?

No experience of dealing with them myself, but try this dealer in London?

Alternatively, try Sytner Group. They took a newish Audi off my hands a couple of years ago, gave me a good price, and were no hassle to deal with.

you could tell potential buyers that there was a stash of porn in the boot smile

I wouldn't be lying. The dead hooker could take some explaining, mind.
