Key Post Where to sell cars - Key Post

There have been many adverts on Askaboutmoney posing as questions. These take the form of

"I have a 2004 Honda Civic with 20,000 miles" - where should I sell it.

All these ads will be deleted and the posters will be banned from Askaboutmoney from now on.

Can someone please post a list of the places to sell cars as a response to this thread. If they could evaluate the pros and cons of each one, that would be great.

I'll start so.

www.carzone.ie

30 euro for an ad with multiple photos. Ad does not expire if renewed free of charge every 30 days. Ad can be edited as many times as needed.

www.ebay.ie
www.cbg.ie

BUY&SELL - Cheap (free) way to advertise car. Not much room for details.

Carzone/ CBG - pay sites that allow you to post pictures of your car. The key to selling your car are good pictures of your car (interior and exterior), full details and a car that is reasonably priced.

Dealers - last resort...you'll take a big hit on the selling price.

The second hand car market is a glut of motors and many people selling their cars believe they have a reasonable asking price as they are comparing with garage prices. Even when selling a new-ish car that is still under warranty, most people view buying the same car from a dealer as the safer option. Therefore your car needs to be very keenly priced to shift it quickly.

First there was Autotrader

www.Autotrader.ie

it does seem to have fallen behind a bit

Dont forget its close relation

www.autotrader.co.uk

if you are thinking of buying on "The Mainland"

I can highly recommend www.whatcar.ie for either buying or selling cars. It's new but seems to have a decent selection of cars, price evaluators, tax and insurance calculators, etc. It costs €28 and your ad is active until the car is sold.

I have found to be very good in the past

And there is always www.gumtree.ie!! Free so worth putting them up!

www.donedeal.ie is another site worth considering at €3 for 2 months advertising.

That auction place up in Ashbourne can't rem the name or the other down by Tallaght just off the M50. Think the advertise on internet for you and loads of liquidity as many mini cabs drivers buying etc. Leave the car for 2 weeks and cheap enough - got rid of an old company car here at a better than expected price.

I would have to say www.donedeal.ie is the best value on the web.

They charge only 3 Euro for an advert.

I have tried selling privatley on some of the bigger websites but have had no luck.

I think the problem with the "leading websites" is that they seem to favour proffesional car dealers as opposed to private sellers.

Can anyone out there tell me Irelands No1 website to sell your car PRIVATLEY?

CreditCrunch - Your home page is Drive Magazine and on the used car page you have a link to Done Deal;this looks like a conflict of interest.

Why because I like new cars ?

How many new car websites are there in Ireland?

I also like

www.carzone.ie

www.funkymotors.ie

www.whatcar.ie

ETC ETC ETC ETC

The thing is that there's only a few where you can get test drives on new stuff

Most used sites dont do test drives as they are more interested in running 5698 used Bmw's Etc etc etc

Point taken though www.donedeal.ie is a great website

There is also the classifieds site www.add.ie, totally Free Advertising. You can remove your advert when sold

If you are looking to research a NEW CAR then I would go to www.drivemagazine.ie as they test drive all the new cars.

They don't do used

Sold 2 cars in last 12 months. Carzone best by a mile.

For anyone down in the Real Capital of Cork or even the greater Munster area, try the Evening Echo FreeAds supplement. Easy to spot as it's Pink (seriously)and comes out on a Tuesday. Email your ads to [email protected]

www.carcity.ie free ads

I'm surprised noone mentioned www.adverts.ie , it's a spin-off from boards.ie and works as a community site. And it's free!

I've used carzone in the past and its gud
