Give e-bay a try, not the most desriable place to sell, plenty of timewasters and people looking to rip you off, but it's great to get some coverage and advertisement.

I have to recommend AutoTrader - just sold my Touring through there within 48 hours of the ad going live online. Ԛ£15 for 2 weeks on the website only, which i would say would catch the majority of buyers anyway. Other advantage of online only is that you get loads of text space so you can write war and peace about your car to help sell it, plus upload up to 4 photos.

I'm still getting phone calls about my car - had about 10 in all so far.

I also have used Autotrader (website only) to sell cars several times with 100 % success.

It has the coverage and accessabillity of Ebay, but it has a feeling of old-world quality; your buyers also know exactly how far away you are.

I hate big companies having a strangle hold, but to sell this is exactly where you need to advertise.

If you want me to look over your Ad, I'd be very pleased to do so - I'm quite good (where's the smug Emoticon with the gleam in the teeth when you need it?) :D

Ive had most luck with ebay recently. I sold a dodgy M reg Fiesta on there that I couldnt give away elsewhere. It had no tax, no mot, had a dodgy respray, bonnet catch (incar) was broken, needed a battery, indicator bulb not working and no log book (was with the DVLA being put in my name), I explained the above in the ad and still got Ԛ£195, I was well happy (more E30 money!).
