Would welcome any advice on selling a car privately which I've never done before. Hope to get between £500-1000. Just want to know whether e-bay or other online auction, park car on side of road with ad in window or what would be best. Also advice on test drives, how they should pay etc. Anything really that you think could be helpful would be appreciated!

Ah we meet again KG, lol anyway, ebay forget it unless you want rid of the car quickly and for not a lot of cash, local paper, or parked somewhere with a lot of passing traffic with a big for sale sign in window, i done this with my mobile number on it so when i was in town i could be contacted and get back to the car, as for paying cash is the best way, if any other method then they dont collect the car until funds have cleared in your bank, test driving when they call ensure they have valid car insurance to drive the car, dont want a test drive and then your car gets bumped and they aint insured, you say between 500-1000 pounds well get a better figure in your head, if you want 750 ask for 850 and do not budge from your lowest price, no matter how much pleading they do, also if they say there are faults that need repaired your answer should be thats reflected in the price, if the car was perfect then it would be more expensive, cant think of much more anything else you want to know just ask,
