You can do the change of keeper part online now, no need to wait for the postie or worry that the DVLA lose the paperwork.

Thanks.

Good morning. Out of interest what car is it you are selling ?  I'm on the llok out for one . Thanks , Kev.

Hi, it's Ford Fiesta 2012, 1.4 diesel. 76000 miles, mot and servicing done end of Jan (full service history and recent receipts kept), new battery as the original one has gone flat in the lockdown, mostly motorway driving. I'm the second owner, bought it from the dealer in 2015. PM me for the price if interested, I'm concerned the post will be removed if I put the price on. Reasons for selling: for 3 years I've been commuting Sheffield - Bradford, not doing it anymore, therefore don't need a diesel car to do my weekly food shop 🙂

The worst thing - especially if you list on Facebook - is you'll get dozens of "is this still available" and then no response.  You'll also get loads of stupid offers even though they've never come to look at the car.

I actually thought to use gumtree and/or fb marketplace as they don't have any fees for selling. Thanks for warning me.

I've sold cars on Facebook and here, never had any real problems. They'll try to knock you down on price so know what your wanting and if you'll take less, if so how much. You'll still get silly offers on Facebook but webuyanycar will give you way less than it's worth so steer clear, same with dealers. Give it a go, worst case go to dealer if you have to but just know you'll get alot less than it's worth.
