Selling a UC

[whitebeard]

Anyone familiar with the best way of selling a reasonably expensive car in France? (2020 330 Touring).

I know of Autoscout and lacentrale as platforms but is there a French equivalent of webuyanycar.com? Want to try and avoid the hassle of selling and would rather find a "trade" buyer but not the local BMW who no doubt would fleece the pants of me as he did for servicing.

Any tips much appreciated

Vendez Votre Voiture is the French equivalent to We Buy any Car. I sold our Passat that we'd had for 13 years to them last year. They paid the very fair price that they had offered after the on line extended inspection. 375K km, no ct and in need of all front suspension joints - impossible to sell any other way, really.
But if you bought an expensive car in 2020 and want to sell it now, you'll be very lucky to get within 10K of what you paid.

I have always found when selling the book price,is the book price when selling into ‘the trade’.

Hi i sold my 1983 Ferrari a few years ago and used a broker to do it for me. I gave him the car and papers and let him get on with selling it, he had a fixed price and then let me know what people were pitching for it and it was sold, without having to bother with time wasters and tyre kickers coming around to the house and garages, or not turning up after making an appointment. For a resonably valuable car i would go the same route again. The broker knows the market and where to advertise the car to get the right people with the right money in to look at it. I would recomend the chap i used but he has closed down and moved on now. The brokers fee seemed a little high to begin with but when you factor in the cost of your own time taken up with it it soon breaks even and makes sense.
