Which are the best sites for buying/selling a used car in the Perth/WA area? (BMW 130i).

Gumtree or Facebook seem to be favoured these days

Most people just take the hit and chop the old car in against the new.
Private sales seem to be at the very, very bottom end of the market or something special.

I've spent months advertising (CarSales, Facebook, Gumtree) and and only sold 1 out of 3, and that took 6+ months. The other two were PXed.

Thanks and yes had a look at that one, with Perth being so isolated on its own wanted to see if it had its own sort of local car sales market ( it’s not like someone in Brisbane is going to buy a car from Perth unless it’s something very rare or crazy low priced). In the U.K. we don’t have these problems buying cars from one end of the country to the other is relatively short haul compared to Australian ideas of a long drive !

Under $10k - Gumtree

Over $10k - Carsales

However most of the 'car for sale still? Give you 40% less than asking price, cash today' requests come out of Gumtree.
