Hi everyone,i need advice but not Stag related.I have to slim down my car collection and the Stag stays,so the others have to go,heres the problem,neither of the two cars i have to sell are worth paying for an advert in the paper and i HATE the whole ebay thing.Any advice? oh yeah im trying to sell my lovely Vauxhall carlton diplomat and my Bmw 525 touring.I'm really not sure what to do,having a for sale sign in the window is illegal so thats out,any advice would be most welcome.Thank you all.

I used Pistonheads for the sale of my Westfield cost nothing and went next day!
Wife thought it was some strange porn site when I told her though! No idea what she meant!

I always use ebay because the audience is massive, (about to do another ) the only thing is the fees and the percentage they take after the car has sold..good luck on Piston heads

Since when has a For Sale sign in the window been illegal? It's worked for me in the past and there are plenty using that method where I live :?

Cheers for the advice guys,in answer to the sign in the window being illegal,my ex-wife worked for the met police and now the cheshire police and she was the one who informed me that having a for sale sign in your window on the public road is technically an offence (though i dont know of anyone who got nicked doing this) just beware.
Thanks for all the help all of you,some good ideas.Oh and Dave thanks for the link to my local paper,why didnt i think of that!Comment

I have only had good selling experiencing on Ebay, but, if you are not keen, I'd certainly try Pistonheads, which does seem to be the current favorite.
