There's a massive choice that's changing daily but who has actually managed to sell there car on here? I ask as I have advertised both of our cars on here in recent Months and not had a single sniff on either.

Sold three through here over the years - a Saab 900, a Rover Coupe and a RX7.

However I would think car sales will be slow given the economy and also it's the run in to Christmas...

Yes,

the bloke I bought my car off.

(actually only partly true as I had someone looking out for me and they let me know before it was advertised)

Cheers

Yep. Helped my parents sell their car here. I suggested they put it on here before paying for an autotader ad and the car was gone within 3 weeks thanks to the classifieds section.

Not sold a car on here yet but have advertised (but sold through Ebay in the end).

I did buy my Prelude through here though.

Sold an Esprit in about three hours 26k, an Exige and a Harley Davidson. All very promptly.

I think the most importanat thing is that youve got to be realistic with car prices, look at whats wrong or undesireable about your car and you will see it from the buyers perspective.

Sold my Vx220 Turbo, 15 minutes after the Ad was placed!
(That is to say, that the chap that rang up 15 mins after I posted the Ad subsequently bought it).

I also bought my Tamora through PH.
