Best website to sell a car?

[mattman]

What are your thoughts and recommendations for the best place to sell a car?

Auto trader seems to have got expensive since I last sold a car at £40 for 2 weeks, Ebay is £20 for a 28 day classified ad, my assumption is that these probably have the biggest audiences, but is AT worth twice the price of eBay?

Any others worth considering?

Depends a bit on what type car and value. Autotrader are expensive because it is still the best platform overall but eBay Classified can be good for lower value and rarer cars.

Wizzle was good when I last sold one

Pistonheads? £11.99 for 30 days.

For most cars i would look on here and in Autotrader, sub £2000 i would look on eBay. Never heard of wizzle. Would give Facebook marketplace a wide berth.

up to £5K facebook in fact try facebook and gumtree for any car just now and I'm sure it will sell well. Sensibly priced ones seem to go quickly.

Pistonheads or specific forums/ Facebook groups if it's something slightly out of the ordinary.

I recently used Wizzle and only got one bite from a trader which was a joke of an offer frankly but I did discover We Want Any Car through Wizzle and ended up selling to them for pretty much what I was asking.

Depends what you’re selling but carandclassic is free and gets a good audience.

Thanks everyone - tried Wizzle (never heard of that) and got the usual low ball offers.

Have put a classified ad on Ebay for 28 days - and typically get a message from a Gumtree ad a couple of hours later with a reasonable offer - whether than actually turns out to be real is another matter, so will leave the eBay ad running until i have the money in my hands

Not used it to buy or sell, but have found interesting cars on there.

Also 'collecting cars' which appears to be good for anything slightly interesting, from classics, modern classics, but also just semi-rare spec stuff, big petrol manuals, that sort of thing. Dont know if anyone here as bought or sold a car using the site or how it works? Always an amazing collection of photos for each listing.
