Selling my V8Vantage Coupe

[aikido21]

Sorry for the potentially stupid question: what is the best (and safer) way of selling my AM privately? For the first time in my life I would like to avoid dealer
Many thanks

PH Classifieds would be a good start, and for free.

You could use a specialist who will sell it on sale or return for you ...for about £1000 ish ...saves all the hassle of taking phonecalls/scammers/timewasters/viewings/payment etc

the last car I sold that way (a Sagaris) and it went in 2 days, a very smooth transaction

Many thanks ! I guess I will give it a try. The only issue is that the car might be driven by "anyone" to test drive it.
thanks again

it will be insured by the dealer, and have the dealer with them, so I wouldnt worry about it personally.

of course, you need ot have a signed contract with the dealer doing sale or return for you where all this is laid out up front ...and you dont hand over the log book, spare keys etc until the money is in your bank

Dont forget if a dealer sells your car,takes payment,then goes bump before he's paid you then you are unlikely to get your money....

One of the risks of sale or return.

for sure, that happened with Dream Machines didnt it and a few people?

...hence Id want to vet them a little personally ....just as much risk as getting ripped out outside your house trying to sell a £50K car privately though

Thanks guys ! Sound like there is no "safe" option. At least is good to know that my question was not really stupid

[qureshia]

Why avoid dealers ?

If you have been offered low money suggest you try a few more dealers, selling a £50k private is hard (I have sold two 997's in the past) and they really have to 2as new" (still under warranty) or mega cheap i.e. 15% below forecourt prices

I sold mine on here, and very quickly......it was priced well though (and I still made a profit on the sale) but I wanted it gone.....
