Selling a car privately

[DimPrawn]

Used to be easy, now seems to only attract idiots ringing you up telling you there's a recession on and they want the car but with 50% off the price.

This will be the last car I sell privately. Utter time wasting.

Thankyou for listening.

Quick quick.

(That's it, no idea what the bloody site was though)

Cheapskate - support the economy by allowing second hand car salesmen make a living!

I've done it once and had some real nutters calling me. One man camped outside my house for a couple of hours when I refused his (ridiculous) offer. The lady who eventually bought the car was a nutter, too. She didn't know the first thing about cars or buying them, and didn't even know what the registration document was for, let alone how to open the bonnet.

That'll be the traders/pikies/webuyanycar.com pretending to be private buyers. Beware the ones who send their sons/daughters round to agree your price first - then turn up with their fathers/uncles/brothers who then try and knock the price down. Had that last year and they kept turning up/phoning until eventually I sold it to someone else for near to full asking.

Oh great.

I'm selling my car at the moment, this is a really encouraging thread!!

I sold my car for scrap because it was broken. I should have got it mended.

I loved that car.

[Sands of Time]

I buy 'em, kill 'em, scrap 'em...




Bing!

Sold my XC70 privately on autotrader a year or so ago.

Had the time wasters and garages looking for stock even though I said no garages. "Oh you'll never get that price"

Admittedly I had to keep the advert going for a few weeks, but in the end my car went to a nice owner. As it turns out we're not all in this together, some people actually have money to spend

Trade it in for a new car and let the dealer take all the hassle.
