    What are you trying to sell? Year, make, model, engine size, fuel type etc? I suggest DoneDeal as the ne plus ultra if you want to shift it quick.

    Its a 2005 Honda accord, 2.2 iCTDI Executive sports. I think shes a beaut, and i dont want to sell it but i cant take it with me and i could do with the cash.

    Its been reccomended to me but i thought i'd ask around and see if there was any other places out there.

    How much is more important than how.

    Might not shift it too quick at that price.

    I'm afraid you might be taking it with you at that asking price. The €900 a year motor tax will be a stumbling block for alot of folk so the selling price needs to be lower to offset the high motor tax.

    Whatever you do don't put it on Adverts.ie - full of timewasters who will offer to swap you their old laptops , Renault 5 or senile granny but will run at the mention of cash.

    Stick it on Donedeal, take the max amount of photos they allow you to put up, have the car cleaned and waxed with everything removed from it except what was in it when you purchased it. Have it tested for the NCT if it hasn't already this year, try to have atleast 3 months motor tax remaining, all these will help sell it.


    Here's someone looking for €5k for a 2005 one, you are probably looking at a max of €6-6.5k regardless of how good yours is...
