Selling Wife's Audi TT.. What do do?

[Maser-artist]

OK, It has been decided that the TT must go. It is a January 2007 2.0 Fsi (New Shape Model) only 8,000 miles, and is now very rarely used. Silver, with Grey Interior + all Audi Bits in immaculate condition. Sell privately, or go to a dealer ? Maybe somebody local may buy - but not inclined to put a poster in window and attract local "tyre-kickers".... Advice wanted - or somebody with a burning desire to indulge in Pretty Golf GTI based motoring

Always worth a try, I had loads of response for a car I sold recently. Only one tyre kicker and lots of interest.

Thanks Simon, Will probably advertise - but have you seen how many TT's there are around.
I had also heard that there were problems advertising: An article in last week's Autocar told of a bloke whose Nissan Z was taken from Pistonheads / clones in photographs and advertised on E-Bay..!!

I change my socks less often than you do your cars. Can't you just recycle it? Oh I see VW already did that...

So, Mr Croot, you change your socks every 18 months. By the way, didn't Ford do the same thing with the new 'Tang..?? Turn that ol' pony into a nag on the floor pan of an Escort...:heehee:

[Maser-artist]

Yes, it was a tough decision, the wife or the car...?? but as the car was slightly less accommodating to my demands.. it has to go.. (anyway the ash-trays were full...)

Private selling is all about having a well prepared car, at the right price, in the right location. For example since there are so many TTs for sale you'll probably only attract prospective buyers from a 50 or so mile radius. Find out the p/ex price, and then set a realistic sales price. Usually less than many private sellers think they can get.

Rememeber, it is possible to get insurance for 1 day at a time so anyone can test drive if they're serious (do a search on here). I sold our TT on here, priced it sensibly - a good few hundred less than similar cars, plus it was a v good condition. Purchaser didn't really know how to drive a turbocharged car during the test drive - I didn't say much though as he obviously knew better

Well after all of the chat the car was sold yesterday. Got a good price and the bloke even paid the dealer with a nice $ cheque from a reputable American bank named "Bears Stern"..
Seriously, got a good deal and the nice car has gone to a good home.
