Selling Cars on PH
Discussion
I cant complain with there service as i have sold various cars that i have owned and that my friends have owned using there service and its for FREE! I found Autotrader gave you allot of fraud/junk emails allong with dodgy buyers.
I guess allot depends on what you are selling and at what cost.

I can second that. I advertised a 997 on here and on Autorader last year. Had about 50 calls from dealers and canvassers from Autotrader but no serious buyers. Had 3 emails via here, one of whom bought the car.How long did it take on average to sell your car?
I know PH promote it but they are hardly going to say it doesn't work. Yes it is free, and i do agree that you don't get people trying to sell you more adverising.
How price sensitive do you think it is? My Cayman is one of the lowest with the spec its got, but how much you get back for the spec seems to be a difficult one.

Always got a good response from PH. Would be ashame if they started charging due to the Haymarket buyout and would confirm people's misgivings about that...Hopefully that will not happen.
Make sure you price it realistically for year/miles - many private ads on PH seem to be at dealer prices, which is kind of missing the point of private sales. No-one wants to waste their time negotiating with an unrealistic seller.

Had my previous car on PH for a month and just had one response. IMHO opinion it was priced correctly at 8k which was
dealer bid +1k,
main dealer offer -4k
in fact it might have even looked too low vs. other private sales
- just serviced with new discs and pads.
- silver with black leather so not a dodgy colour
Sometimes it just takes time and sometimes you need to take a look at your advert, often something small and silly can put off the handful of potential buyers for it.
Best place on the interweb to sell a car IMO - my last Boxster sold within 24hrs of the advert going live.
If you're not getting enquiries then:
a) too expensive
b) poor spec (i.e. savannah/green interior)
c) poor advert
d) your location
a) is the most obvious reason and b) is really just a function of a) (or hanging around until you find that 1 person who might like it) and d) can be improved by a) or taking it to a mates house in a better location until it sells. If c) they get off your lazy arse and write a better ad, take better pics, give some history - warts n all!
