Where can I sell my old BMW 5 Series?
I have inherited a newer car and now have an old R-reg BMW 5 Series with 130,000 on the clock that I would like to sell. Being a complete girl, private sales are a no-no. I am looking at online car sales agencies and other companies. Are they any good? Do you have any tips for selling? The car is in good condition for its age, but the air conditioning has packed up and it needs a new bush (it squeaks over the back wheels).

Car selling agencies never give you the best price, but can be a good way of getting rid of a car quickly and easily. Be aware though that often, the price they give you online is only an estimate and we've heard tales of people taking their car to one of the sites only for someone there to haggle them down on what it's worth. However, it will save you the hassle of selling it privately and/or having to get work done to fix the faults.
