Decided to sell the VXR8, but before I start making up some ads I just wondered if people still use Autotrader as much since it was changed to it's latest style, or is Ebay now a better bet.

I've put some info on the VXR site and will put something in the classified section here in a day or two, but where do most people check out first nowadays between Ebay and Autotrader?

Or should I not be so tight and just put it on both?smile

Personally i don't like Auto Trader. Haven't for some time since they fiddled with it. But, i think a lot of people still make it their primary search tool

In my personal experience, I've always done well selling decent cars on PH.

I've sold cheap cars on e-bay but have never managed to sell a car via Auto-trader.

I'd say smack it on PH and forget autotrader!

Car and classics is worth an ad. I know it's really for older cars, but as it's free......

I've decided to put it on here as well tonight.

Although I think there's something wrong with the VXR8 classifieds, I could only find it by doing a search, the first page of all the VXR8's seems to be missing??

We're going to sell both our cars and go down the 3 car route.

Perhaps a GTI for my wife, something cheap for me to run around in and something less practical for the weekends/nice days.

So we'll try and sell this one first and see how things go.

You may find a dealer will bid you close to that for it. Certainly worth a few calls to buyers.

I may give that a try, I'll see how it goes.

Thanks for the classic car tip, never though about that one, I might put it in there later.

I think PistonHeads is your best bet.
