eBay would be worth a punt again, still seems pretty good for selling cars.

I've advertised on pistonheads, autotrader and ebay recently.

Both cars ended up going on their appropriate forums, one within an hour.

Ebay is ok to gain intrest, but not to sell it there, sellers fees are stupid.

Auto trader is king for me sold two cars on there for good price. Had lots of interst aswell. Think its £9.99 for two weeks to advertise on their website for a car upto £999 and £20 above

just sold my corsa c on autotrader but did take 3 weeks to do it.

With yours being modified as it is then i would say ebay maybe a good bet as autotrader is really just alot of standard cars.

Pistonheads has been where mine have sold recently. Stuck my frontera on yesterday and it got collected this afternoon.. Theres a lot of luck involved in selling cars, only takes one person to click on it and buy it.

Forums are utter shite for selling cars, I dont even bother putting adds on most of them these days..

Donate a grand and I'll go with that..

One thing I'd say about your add is it might be an idea to take out the bit about it having had quarters replaced. Although you know it was done just to be anal a lot of people will see that as a negative. Problem is everyone is tighter than tight just now (like me :lol so selling what is basically a Nova for over 4k will be hard, even though it will be worth every penny.

Yeh. Makes it a bit hard to read aswell, need to tidy the ad up a bit.

Really need to get it running first anyway. I took a load of bits off to get powdercoated and ceramic coated, and havent put it back together yet! Might even stick it up as it is a bit cheaper and see if i get a sell.

Was £30 when I sold my Gsxr for £790...

His want's 4k so Im guessing ebay would want a fair wack.

Shouldnt be hard to sell a nice example like that anyway.

Good luck with it
