Time's come to trade in my car for an upgrade, obviously plenty of threads on selling bikes, but I wondered with selling a car what's the go? The value will probably be too high for people to want to lug around cash, but then on the other hand I can't see someone wanting to handover a chunk of money by bank transfer before taking it.
So just wondered what the go usually is, do people just insist on cash? or is there some other way? Paypal fees would be high and far from secure in themselves.
Have thought about seeing if a few dealers would sell it through the forecourt on commission, but guessing the fees would be extortionate. Anyone done that before and can advise what sort of markup they'd take? I'd be guessing 10-15% which is a bit more than I'd like.
Any other suggestions would be awesome - the last time I tried to sell a car via carsales I ended up part exchanging purely for the hassle factor involved with people calling wanting to turn up give a cheque and take the car away on the spot or turning up mob handed and wanting almost 50% off the price.. argh.
Cheers
