CBG , carzone or autotrader

zod

Trying to sell this C3 .. where should I advertise CBG , carzone or autotrader ??

if you had to choose one - which one would you choose if you couldn't afford all three

peasant

as someone looking for a car, I clearly prefer carzone.

More pictures, more text, better information possible than on the other sites

(if the advertiser makes full use of it, of course)

Also throw it up on http://www.adverts.ie with photos.

I know but cbg has a magazine .. and people who don't us the internet are immediately ruled out by carzone.

Carzone the only way to go.

I have used CBG and I can tell you I was shocked by the poor response. As mentioned earlier a good write up & photos on Carzone is the best option.

you can also advertise it for free on www.funkymotors.ie
the more the better.

TBH I would stick with online. Carzone has a lot more unique users monthly than any of the magazines have circulation figures. And you can change it whenever you like, which you can't do in print.

But get several photos up, the more the better, people just don't look at the ads without photos. Include interior shots and detail, show that the car is in great condition (presuming it is.) Your price looks competitive, so with good photos I imagine you should sell.

carzone compared to print ad in cbg....

cheaper, more pics, can edit any time, bigger audience!

And with carzone the car stays there till you sell it, the autotrader and CBG charge you for a block of time AFAIK.

Im surprised CBG still have punters if thats the case :eek:

defo carzone cbg will only let u put up three photos and carzone are now owned by the auto trader and carzone have dozens of websites that they put the ad on all in the one price i am sure if you emailed carzone they might do a deal to put it on autrader aswell

Carzone is head and shoulders above CBG and autotrader is a non starter. Your money will have run out in no time with CBG (unless your lucky enough to sell it quickly) whereas carzone you can leave it on as long as you like and put as much info on as you have!! With regard to CBG having a magazine I'll bet anything that more people log on to carzone in a week than CBG sell magazines!!

I bought my current car via Carzone, and that's where I'd put it if I was selling it.

Would definitely recommend Carzone. Put my parents car on Carzone for them and had no problems selling it!

they might offer a deal as in geetin a discount on the price if you advertise with the two of them or if you go with carzone its only so much extra to have it in the autotrader aswell seening as autotrader bought over carzone i wouldnt be surprised if they would do a deal like that

both, they do an offer for dealers to put stock on both sites but not classifieds.

I've just sold mine and used both Carzone and CBG. I wouldn't use Autotrader purely because I think their website is woeful.

Most enquiries and the eventual sale were via CBG. Most on here (as I do) prefer the Carzone site which is very slick and clean, and hence most will choose Carzone over CBG, but nothing beats a printed weekly mag for reaching the masses and getting a sale. People still like to flick through a magazine over a cuppa.
