How to get rid of an X-trail I don't need/want?

Howdy folk,
I have an automatic 4WD 03 petrol X-trail (2L) that's been idle (bar the odd spin around the farm)for about 6 months. (It runs fine, started it yesterday, no tax or nct though.)
I'd put it on Donedeal but I don't see anyone parting with cash for a petrol-guzzler and I've been told that Donedeal ads attract muppets like flies to shit with time-wasting calls and texts - could live without that.
Is scrapping it the only alternative? What am I likely to get for it in that case? Any input from people in the know would be welcome.

Put it on donedeal for 900 you'll get 200 from a scrapper.

Petril with relatively large engine (in the Irish eyes)
No ensiti or tax
Auld (11 years and counting)
Lying up for a wee bit

That's not going to help one bit

I'll give you 200 quid for it if you just want rid.

All the above is reason why it is still with u. :rolleyes:

Change your attitude and give us link to your DoneDeal ad for a look. We will comment.

My attitude? My donedeal ad? Try reading it again, champ.

seriously, spend 4 minutes having a look through donedeal and adverts, if you get a few timewasters, so be it, it will sell quite easily

There's money to be made off it lad.
Say I bought it off you at 250, I could sell it on for perhaps 900 or 1000.

Really? 900/1000? Surprised to hear it, to be honest. I'll have a look at putting it up there, so. If I get 500 I'll be happy enough.

Drop me a pm BMJD. Note - I'm in West Limerick, you'd be responsible for transporting it elsewhere. (Was actually only looking for advice - wasn't expecting offers! Still, fire away...)

any swap my ads bud?

Seriously though OP, put in donedeal/adverts and a few more. Someone may need it and give you an ok price for it.
I think you can restrict both to mails only and not need to get texts.

Swap for '02 X-Trail , 160k miles manual and boggo spec?

mossieh · 13-01-2014 4:15pm

Thanks for all the advice folk, sounds like advertising it is the way to go.
