Clio partra

My wife has reluctantly decided to give up driving and even more reluctantly to sell her old Clio, which has served her well for many years. It is an 1994L 1.4 RT 5-door hatchback automatic, has been serviced once a year, is in very good condition and has done 45,000 miles. Could you advise the best way to sell please and roughly how much it might fetch?

It isn't worth putting an old car like this worth no more than a few hundred pounds through www.sure-sell.info. You could try www.webuyanycar.com If you chose to try to sell it yourself, start with a newsagent's window. But be aware that anyone who wants to 'test drive' the car will probably not be insured. Further advertising probably isn't worth it. You could end up spending £100 advertising a car for which you can only get £300.
