I am planning to sell my 1998 Audi A3 by auction and would appreciate any feedback on the topic. In particular I was wondering if there was a particular company that is a better place to sell and old car.
I am going with the auction option as it should save me the inconvenience receiving a load of calls from tyre kickers. It is also quite expensive to advertise on any of the car sites at least this way I should be guaranteed a sale.
Re: Selling car at auction - Merlin or Wilsons or other?
I'm working on the basis that the car has a value. I won't be putting a high reserve on it so i would expect that it would sell. I appreciate that there are no guarantees.
it really depends on what you want for it, money wise.
Bearing in mind its an 11 yo car, with a value of perhaps 1,800 - 3k depending on how clean it is (with the 3k being OTT in my opinion), you can expect less than that at auction.
so,
if you want rid, go to auction;
if you need the money, or want a better price, sell privately.
