Stick it in the For Sale section and stick it on Auto Trader.

I'd put a starting price on it of £2500 but be willing to part with it for £2000.

I put an ad on autotrader website £17.99 for 2 weeks. autotrader now offer a service where they give you a special phone number for the duration of the add which links to your phone but stops scam callers and canvassers from calling you up. but i think it is a premium rate for people calling the number.


Write something like this....

1985 Mini mayfair, 998cc, same owner for last 6 years, 60000 miles, 11mths mot. Thousands spent, full twopack respray, new interior, compomotive rims and new tyres, good condion for its age, Pictures don't do it justice!! Cheap insurance, ideal first car.
no canvassers, Traders, Nigerian Cheque scams and no i don't want a copy of your free magazine.

£(insert price) OVNO

cheeres thank for that i may well give it a shot if you can get rid of the scam call thats a handy thing to know.did you get much genuin intrest in yours on there?

Without giving it a proper good going over i can't really say for sure, but i don't think many people would pay £2500 for a 998. To be honest i think your looking at near to £1500; £2000 at very most if somebody wants it enough. Try advertising for £1800 or put £2000 ONO etc.

Try advertising on auto trader as biggav said. I know when i was looking for my mini i went to look at 2 from auto trader. Mini magazine also offers free private adverts. Another option is obviously ebay; however you will be taking the risks of time wasters/non paying bidders and also people winning the auction then not coughing up when they come to view it.

Good luck with the sale anyway
