What are best and cheapest ways to advertise selling a car?

Question

I know some things are free if the selling value is low, but I want to sell my car for around a grand. What is the cheapest way to advertise it but obviously meaning lot sof people will see it? I heard auto trader is a bit pricey.

Answer 1

Auto Trader & Ebay have the best coverage, they're worth paying for.

Answer 2

The cheapest way is to put a for sale sign in the window with the price how much mot is left and any service history and your phone number.If you live on a busy road hundreds of people will see it each day.Failing that try your local free adds paper or even a card in the local shop or supermarket.

Answer 3

Just put a piece of paper in the window with the price and your telephone number.  People actually prefer seeing things in real life before they buy but cant be bothered to go and look around for stuff so if they happen to see the car on the road or when they are walking past, and the price is right, you're in.
