Where should my son sell his Saab 9-3?
My son must sell his beloved but impractical Saab 9-3 2.0t petrol convertible with Hirsch performance upgrade. A 2003, current bodyshape car, it’s metallic black with many extras and in excellent condition for the year. At 84,400 miles, and with a full service history he’s been told that he should ask £4500 but so far he’s had no interest through Autotrader. We’d appreciate your views on the price and also other avenues to sell.

www.sure-sell.info will get him the price the car is worth on the day, minus auction commission, after competitive bidding from trade and public. He should then receive the money in four working days with no tyre kickers, no phone calls in the middle of the night, no waiting for potential purchasers who never turn up, no danger of uninsured test drives, no danger of the car being stolen, no danger of a bounced cheque or draft, no buyers agreeing to buy then pulling out later because they can't afford to insure it because of the modifications. If he holds out for more money he may never get it. Spring is the time of year to sell a convertible.
