    What's the best way to sell a car?

    What's the best way to sell a car?

    ie quick sale at a good price

    Autotrader online? Local paper? Autotrader paper version / regional version? Sell it to some 2nd car dealer?

    Local paper will probably get more viewings as it is what it says, local. Autotradr tends to cover quite a large area, so unless it's advertised at a silly price you might get more calls but less views.

    I'd say traders are last result if you want fair money. Yes, if it's something they could sell, they will take it on the spot. But you will take a big dent in value.

    most people just cant be arsed to look through the local papers or trade mags anymore.

    Thats what search engines are for.

    There is no best way to sell a car. It depends entirely on the car in question. If it's a cheapo car, then probably the local paper. If it's a complete shed with hidden faults, then the local auction. If it's a regular car, Autotrader. If it's something thats well saught after with a huge waiting list, perhaps the local main dealer.
