Default Selling my Focus

We have an 02 plate Focus that is the wife's car.

We want to change the car for something, maybe a Sub Legacy (

I'd sort the a/c and alarm and leave the cosmetic stuff.

The kind of person who buys this kind of car isn't going to be as anal as someone buying a sports car.

Then sell privately.

However, it may be less hassle to PX if you make sure you get a good deal. Or you could try webuyanycar.com that should give you somewhere close to the px price

PX/auction it out ASAP if you cannot face selling it privately.

Life's too short to worry about a few pennies.

I'd PX it and save yourself time/hassle. Selling privately would be a ball ache.

I'd advertise it as is, not many cheaper cars on the market due to the scrappage scheme and it may sell quickly, try this until you see the car you want and then you can get a trade in value that might be ok.?

I have seldom sold my beaters privately, I can't face the hassle dealing with the kind of chancer that wants to knock every penny off by finding fault everywhere. It's there in front of you, I described it accurately in the advert, you know what I want for it, buy it or f**k off.
