Anyone exported their car to Europe?

After reading a response to my other thread here

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I was wondering whats involved, and can those who have done it answer the following questions:
- Where did you advertise
- What car were you selling?
- How long ago?
- Was there much of a response?
- How did you handle the money changing hands?
- Any hints or tips to make the whole thing easier?
- Anyone sell to a dealer directly?

Thanks

1: German / French / Dutch etc equivilant of Autotrader & ebay.de
2: Maserati & Ferrari (lower end of market / resto projects )
3: Within last few months
4: Yes sold two out of four cars, far easier to deal with German / Dutch buyers than the whinging pricks from the UK who got the other two cars!
5: Bank transfer, something that the rest of the EU do frequently and are happy with
6: Brush up on your langauge skills and remember that just as its possible that you have your translation wrong, so may they
7: No

I" ve just scrapped a van in France ...........was tempted to leave at the side of the road ...

but in the end it was a painless experience , take the van to the local scrapyard with V5 doc show passport , Fill in French declaration form ,

You sign , they sign , they give you copy, they keep V5 and take Van.

send copy of declaration form back to the DVLA

Ive got a 2007 Renault espace that I'm going to try and sell in France on Monday. Had it on sale for a few months and I'm sick of fking idiot bidding stupid offers between 4-6k. I'm going to try Renault dealers in Calais and surrounding area, might even dip a wheel into Belgium.
Any advice please.
