Do you recommend a BCA auction to sell my 2010 BMW 335i?
Back in Jan/Feb you advised that BCA might be a good place to sell my 2010 BMW 335i Coupe, 23,000 miles, manual, excellent condition. I was wondering whether that advice still holds, as I shall be going for the new 435i petrol coupe on launch in October. I don't really want to get involved in a private sale and the dealer part-exchange is likely to be pretty Low.

The point about this is by using an auction you get a clean sale with no risk of a dodgy cheque or draft, or an uninsured 'test drive', or being continually pestered by lowlifes and scammers who have obtained your phone number and/or email from your ad. What you actually get for the car depends on demand on the day and who's bidding on the day, but far better to offer it this way than take an offer from a single trader. BCA seems to be in the process of taking over webuyanycar.
