Where Else To Buy/Sell?

[FellowPazzini]

Is there any other decent sites to buy/sell cars other than PH, Auto Trader & Fleebay?

[jds32]

How about Gumtree and loot.

[All that jazz]

I always use Ebay Classified ad (£15) for selling, and browse Ebay, AT and PH for buying. Gumtree tends to be <£1000 tatty snotters.

Thanks jds32, just had a quick look. They're OK but obviosly not as good a mentioned, more to troll through

Does the £15 put it up for a week? Selling can become an expensive doo... if it doesn't sell 1st time around.

£15 for 28 days on ebay motors as a classified.

No, the £15 is for 28 days. By way of a comparison, AT is £42+VAT for 2 weeks and you only get a limited amount of space for text and only allowed smallish pics. On Ebay you can do what you want. I can email you a link to my ad on there which I made myself if you want an idea on layout, pic specifics etc. If you're wanting to know all this for selling your Mundano then I would say that Ebay overall is the best place to advertise it considering the age and condition and also it being a private sale.

Edit: actually £42+VAT on AT, not £25.

LOL Ebay sounds like a good idea then. A link would be great thanks

Okay, but how many average punters would go to carandclassics when looking to buy a new car? I hadn't even heard of them until you mentioned them so I'd wager that the vast majority of Joe Public haven't heard of them either.

It's free , so only a little time lost (no wasted money), and I think it is not unknown of (granted, this is with petrolheads really, but not completely).

I like PH best overall, but others as posted should be considered.

NetCars.com is the new boy on the block. Pay per click for dealers with a max fee. So far costing me 6% of AT, with a success rate of 15%. So less than half the price.

Hmm. So netcars.com = carcraft, right? Every search I've done just brings up zillions of carcraft ads who are known for being the biggest rip off merchant going in the auto world.

And if that site isn't a blatant rip of autotrader I don't know what it is.

Get it on the owners clubs.
Prices have dropped like a brick lately.

The problem with advertising it on owner's club forums is everyone already has one. The clue is in the title.

I have no personal interest here, other than to one day see AT burn in hell. Netcars searching appears to be based on 'closest first'. I get a load of Carshop ads first, I guess you must be near Carcraft. As for AT rip off, what else should a car search engine look like? It's cheap though, £10 until sold for private sellers. It's certainly worth pushing a bit, even if only to keep AT honest.

In further answer to OP, there is also Motors.co.uk and AutoWeb.co.uk.

netcars.com is run by the same guys who have motormart/carfinance247.co.uk with a bit of external investment capital. Interesting business model, nice chaps (brothers), shocking team that work for the finance 'division' however.
