6th for piston heads
but i'd put it on ebay
its only like £5 and if you know what you want for it you can alway put up a 28 day classified ad
and same as any other car find you target audience
Owners Clubs etc.

The Autotrader site for the states is actually MUCH MUCH better than the UK version. Maybe two different companies? As for ads on websites...I use Firefox with the "Adblock Plus" add-on. Stops those annoying ads in their tracks!

My two also retired older friends still do very well.They are also car mad and have years of respect for buying good honest cars at a very good price.They enjoy them a few weeks and sell them to get the next.They often just put a sign on the car.They only add on a very small profit.
With a Web. Site you could do well but it would take time to build customers base.Set up a chat car section on it also to attract people and run a tight ship.Good Luck. :proud:

After the mixed bunch of responses I think its worth a go. The chat bit is a great idea, though moderation is often a little tricky with real time chats
