Johndouglas Posted August 21, 2010 Posted August 21, 2010 I would get the best part-ex price possible on the Seat, then try an advert on the forums at part-ex price plus a bit more. If that fails try ebay (with a reserve) if necessary. Sometimes you can be pleasantly surprised with ebay. Recently I advertised an item on a couple of forums for £120ono. I had no offers so put it on ebay. It sold for £137. Quote

The last one was a 2002 Laguna turbodiesel estate, average bodywork, similar mileage to yours, sold in Feb for asking price to first viewer. People were ringing and enquiring within hours of me placing the ad, there was no need to pay for more than a week of advertising. Don't bother with paying extra to go in the actual paper copy like I did, response to internet ad only was more than enough. I just based the price to ask on the free What Car valuation available on-line. It is a no-hassle way of selling a car compared to ebay in my opinion, because they see it before they buy, where as on ebay it is all so reliant on you being able to describe every little fault in detail so there is no cause for dispute after it is sold.
