Autotrader

[Pa55aT]

Good Morning

I am just about to put my Passat in Autotrader for sale.

It is about £16 for two weeks on the web and an additional £15 to go in the magazine.

Is it worth paying extra to go in the mag, or do most people buy off the internet now?

Thanks

Chris

I find the internet one is used by a LOT of people these days.. Also you will be national as opposed to just local like the mag.

Go for the mag. People still use it.

If you are putting it on the web with your email address I'd seriously consider setting up a free email account, gmail, yahoo etc, for selling the car and then closing it. When I had MrsP's alfa up for sale I counted 96 seperate emails from scammers. It was getting silly.

Sold mine on ebay, tried on autotrader for three weeks but never got a nibble, of course that could have been me or the car rather than the trader.

Depends on the value of the car, but I did Autotrader, here, pistonheads and Ebay.

The bay of E was where it finally sold. Which is a pain because then you have FV fees but hey at least it sold

Just bought a car off autotrader so it can't be all bad. Also I think I bought the Allroad off there too a couple of years back.

I think it depends on what your selling - you have a work horse type vehicle so should be ok on autotrader.

I sold the A3 2.0 tdi in a couple of days whilst on pistonheads.

Sometimes selling on a couple is best. Good luck with selling it!
