pistonheads/autotrader

[audinut]

Just wondering you guys thoughts on piston heads / autotrader sales.

I havent really put any major effort into selling the avant and was thinking of listing it on those sites but im not really up for untold phonecalls with ridiculous offers etc.

whats everyones experiences of those 2 for sales?

Don't get as many idiot time wasters as eBay , although u still get some
Depends on what you re selling too!
Only had one contact from a trader for my disco, but they bought it!
Only 21 cylinders owned now

I have bought and sold from PH. If you can reach the required audience, it is better than ebay and AT by miles. Less ********s, idiots, scammers and cat data type companies.
If you can't sell via PH then you may have to consider AT then ebay in that order.

However for a niche car I don't think you can beat PH.

Go for the phone safe option thing too
Since I put my own number on AT I ve had texts for PPI insurance, accident claims etc
Bloody nuisance !

My cabriolet is currently on PH but I haven't had any interest after 4 days. On the plus side, because I have been a member since before 2009 I get to place premium ads for free. Autotrader will be a last resort due to all unwanted calls it seems to generate and eBay is definitely a much better place to buy cars than sell them.

There are alot of sucessful sales happening on gumtree too, and it's free.

[audinut]

gumtree in my experience is full of scammers

Dunno bout Gumtree myself, but I bought my S2, 3 yrs ago on Pistonheads- I haven't sold anything-yet-but if I do have to, int' future, I'll definitely give PH a try first.
