Don't advertise in The Trading Post if you want more than 12k.
2nd vote for www.carsales.com.au and if you need to find an idea of value before listing it: www.redbook.com.au
Sold ours on ebay a while back and also found mine on ebay a few years ago. More recently spent many hours scouring ebay for sons first car on all the usual sites and ended up buying one on ebay. We go look and then offer and buy on the spot if it is suitable we don't just bid on-line and discover it is no good!
So ebay has worked well in our house!

Carsales by a long shot. Forget the trading post, I don't think they'll be in business for long. Ebay is good for cheapies only.
Don't we all have cheapies on here? LOL
Maybe you haven't looked for a while check out this page: http://cars.shop.ebay.com.au/items/...lnZ1QQ_sacatZ29690QQ_trksidZp3286Q2ec0Q2em282
From memory the cars on here are linked to one of the other sites anyway.
Used to, now I drive a Bimmer and fly business class, just like everybody else
Oh no back on the fast track to poverty! LOL
I thought this was a going to be a cheapie but no...

sold mine last week on Carsales...
but i also listed on trading post - mainly because you can do an add that gives you two weeks free in print aswell and thought that might get some people who dont use the net.
But i got 3 enquiries all from carsales.. 2 car dealers and 1 buyer who bought it straight up... very happy. well except my jeepy who i loved to death is gone... but my new wheels should be here in two weeks and it wont hurt my hip pocket on fuel like the jeep did.

Have had cupla serious lookers- usually looking at everything available then they get back to you if they get tired of looking- sorta the same as many RE buyers. I recently sold a very specialised sports car on carpoint-- I thought would be difficult but went fine-- The man who bought it used a specialist agent to assess the car so he actually bought it sight unseen--

wow, very low km's for 2006. We are actually on the look out for a 7 seater and i know Volvo has excellenty safety standards....But $55k is a bit steep. We are waiting for a bargain Ford Territory criteria is <20,000kms and 2007+.
Definately try carsales.com We've bought and sold all our cars on that website. It's brilliant, you only need one enquiry to sell coz it's usually serious. We bought our Honda for $39k and sold it 6mths later for $37.5k. Took about 1 week to sell. We sold our VW Polo within 1 week to cash buyer. Paid $21k sold it for $20k 1 year later.
We buy so well that our most recent purchase seems like it has actually gone up in value if we were to sell it today.
Our bargain buy was a Honda Jazz for $13k 2007 <18000kms. Brand new is about $21k. Bought it last year, only 1 yr old. Best small car.
Only problem with carsales.com is that there are hardly any cheap cars on there <$10,000.

The reason such low mileage is that after we bought it new my husband became ill and as I don't drive the vovo was only occassinally taken out for a little drive for my husband if son had time-- Also price is on track as an offer on the table is for $49500 The bloke is returning home after a stint o/s where he owned the same model but he's mucked us about a bit- We took the car for an inspection - etc-(which of course was A1) usually the buyer does all that- now wanting us to wait till he returns from another quick trip o/s What is it they say- - a buyer is a liar till he puts money on table??
I've just sold a car on carsales in that price range. The car was for sale for over 12 months as I wasn't budging on price.
The only problem I faced was the banks wouldn't lend to people above 50k.
I had 2 buyers pull out after deposit due to finance knockbacks.
The right buyer had cash and transferred straight to my account.
Unless your buyer has cash or using equity I wouldn't spend alot of time on it.
