Need to move fast-ish on a property deal. So where do I advertise? Here, obviously but what about newspapers?

I was expecting something entirely different from your thread title. Typo do/go?

Bugger smile "go" is correct.

What about the Times, etc?

I'd list it on here and on ebay.

The key to ebay success:
- Millions of pictures
- £1 start (even on a car worth north of £50k, if there's an opening bid of £20k people wont jump in for some reason)
- Set your reserve at what you want for it

I've had success selling cars on both PH and ebay. PH you get a good audience. Ebay you get a massive audience. As long as the reserve is set at what you'd actually take for the car, you cant lose. If it sells, you got the sale, if it doesnt, its had just about the biggest audience available and it costs less that autotrader for more wordy bits and as many pics as you want via a photobucket account thumbup

Advertise it in the garden shed and the waste bin just to make sure nobody sees the ad and you have a good reason to keep the car...wink

The market is sh*te at the moment, I've had mine advertised on PH for 2 1/2 weeks and not had a sensible sniff.
They seem to be very price sensitive (but I'm not giving mine away, so it'll be staying over the winter at the very least)
Keep the car and talk to your bank manager/building society nicely (thats's what I've done ) wink

I bought mine from 911sport.co.uk - I know that he's a prettyr good trade buyer, but its bound to be tade money , but naybe at the upper-end of the spectrum ; why not try him ? these cars are NOT easy to sell privately and there are a lot for sale at the mo.

good luck

They bid on mine (well I gave them an indication of the minimum I'd accept) unsurprisingly we were miles apart .................

Yup, they tried the same with me too. I chose not to give them 'my lowest price' and said they should pitch in with their best, but made it clear I was not willing to have it stolen from me and if it was in the X and Y region they could forget it. They chose not to bid in the end...
