Gold fated

I must part with my April 05 3-door RAV-4 2.0 D-4D XT3. It's only done 26,000 miles and is in very good condition; it's insured to end of March 2010 and is gold coloured. What should ask (and hope to get) for it? Where's best to advertise apart from my local paper?

That is actually a much sought after model. Even I like them. Trade book is £7,950 with 49k miles, book retail £9,775. There's a chance you might do better than trade book using www.sure-sell.info or your local www.brightwells.com in Leominster, with minimum hassle and excellent security. If you choose to advertise then www.autotrader.co.uk is the way to go. But make sure you opt for the phone call screening service or you will be plagued with crooks and charlatans.
