Best way to sell a Focus ST3 Estate?

I am looking to sell my 2012 Ford Focus ST3 Estate, which would be the best way to sell for the best price with the least hassle?

"Best price with least hassle" is contradictory. If you want to get the "best price" then you have to work very hard at it: clean the car perfectly, advertise on Autotrader and Motors.co.uk, pitch your price right, take calls in the middle of the night, be prepared to talk nicely to a lot of idiots, be accommodating to anyone who is interested, insure the car for them to test drive it, take their money only in cash, in a bank. If you want "least hassle", sell it to webuyanycar.com.
