Just wondering what peoples thoughts are on advertising via Ebay?

I always use PH's but I'm probably missing out on a large slice of the potential marketplace in doing so in isolation. I've tried Auto Trader on previous cars which has invariably been a complete waste of time.

I've been offered £57,500 by WeWantAnyCar (not to be confused with WeBuyAnyCar!), which is pretty much what I'm after but I'm really not keen on the idea - not sure why? Perhaps it's because they have a 3 day payment process during which time they keep your car in a secure compound - maybe ok for a £5K Mondeo but I'm not leaving a £60K GTR anywhere outside my Garage until it's been paid for!

PH and GTR.co.uk done.

Really only considering Ebay as another option.

I called one company on Friday. I won't mention names but the appealing part was that they come to me to check out the car instead of me having to take the car to some depot.

On Friday they quoted me £57,160 which was acceptable to me. The car is flawless and they found no issue...however, the £57K dropped a few grand for no reason at all. The chap who came to inspect was a great bloke and very helpful. But he wasn't buying the car and rang the company owner back for the final decision on their offer.

I'll stick to a private sale or could even see what Porsche will offer when my GT4 arrives. Luckily I still have a few months to sort it out.

Cheers.

It's on GTR.co.uk although the market is probably more limited as it's a Track Edition (no rear seats). For me it was a positive factor but most people I imagine want the rear seats.

Thanks for the tip. If I get no luck over the next few weeks I might call him.
