Well my L200 truck now has to be sold , its 6 yrs old and I have to sell it and drive the other compnay car for a bit ( pt cruiser , yes I know its awful, it's also gold Rolling Eyes ).

Thing is I haven't sold a car privately in about 10yrs so was just looking for some thoughts on where's the best place to advertise (other than on here, obviouslly) and any other useful hints

thanks

try autotrader? i think its about £6 a week for an online ad.
as regards actually selling the car, make sure its clean and tidy when somone comes to view, dont let anyone testdrive it without proper insurance and have a figure in mind that you want for it and dont get bullied into letting it go for less Thumbs Up

Every vehicle I ever bought I found advertised on Auto Trader's web site (or Bike Trader). FWIW.
