Although we have a guaranteed trade in for Buffy we have advertised her privately on Gumtree. THe thinking is that we could get a bit more for her than the trade in or even sell her for the trade in value and put cash into premium bonds for a couple of months - you never know!
Just been "stood up" today by a no show. Then had a phone call from a dealer (recently given bad press) who says they will make a offer on her unseen. Yeah, right.
We are using a disposable SIM card for the ad
The lady who came to look last week was keen but when we talked to her we realised it was not the vehicle for her and managed to get her to see what would suit her better. No way could I let someone buy something from me knowing it wasn't right and wouldn't work for them.
I am starting to think the hassle of selling privately isn't worth it.
