Other car selling websites
You can't simply compare DesperateSeller.co.uk against any other website on a like-for-like basis. This is because, in theory, DesperateSeller.co.uk is more than one website. We have assembled a network of 10 websites and combined their resources. So, in actual fact you would have to combine the effectiveness of each and every one of our websites and then compare them against any other car selling website or classifieds. Only then will you get a true reflection of how phenomenal our service really is.

There are hundreds of websites out there some of which are very good and some of which aren’t so good. The trick is to know which ones will offer you the best service and offer you the best value for money. DesperateSeller.co.uk was created for this very reason. Advertise with us and we will advertise your car on 10 top car selling websites until your car is sold! 

Beware of imitators!
It has come to light that there are certain websites that have copied the concept of DesperateSeller.co.uk's Advert Accelerator service. These websites promise to advertise your car on a multitude of websites, just like our service and some websites even claim to do this for free. When a website offers something for free it is important to ask yourself why. It is important to fully investigate not only the service they are offering but the company behind the website. Often these websites are not a fully registered UK company or the company in question has been dissolved. You can do a check on a website by logging onto the Government’s CompaniesHouse.co.uk website. Always, ensure they are registered with an independent body so you know where to go if things go wrong.

We strongly believe that the websites in our portfolio are far superior to any other website claiming to offer a similar service. Feel free to compare the websites in their package to the websites in ours. Always ensure that they are fully able to guarantee that your car will actually appear on their portfolio of websites!

Trade car buying websites or dealerships (Trade-in's)
There are now many car buying websites out there that will make you an instant cash offer for your car and even offer to pick it up from you. However, it is highly unlikely that you will be offered the true value of your car. Also, the price that they originally offer may differ from the actual price they pay you after they physically inspect your car. It is also often the case that when they inspect your car they will pressurise you, by using hard sell tactics, into accepting their “derisory” offer.

Car matching websites
No matter where you advertise your car whether it be a shop or car window, the chances are high that you will be contacted by a bogus car matching company claiming that they have buyers for your car. However, this is very often far from the truth. Their main aim is to get your money regardless of them having any real buyers for your car.

Whenever you use the Internet it is important that you have full confidence in the products that you buy or services that you use. This is why DesperateSeller.co.uk has been accredited by several safe shopping bodies such as ISIS, Safeshop, IMRG and Verisign. DesperateSeller.co.uk is NOT a car matching website nor does it affiliate itself with car matching websites.

Newspapers
This is the more traditional method of advertising. However, advertising space can be very expensive and your advert has to compete with a clutter of other car sellers. Not only are you advertising to a restricted audience as 82% of car buyers now search online, but also your car will only be advertised for a selected period. When you advertise with DesperateSeller.co.uk, we will continue to advertise your car until it is sold, at no extra cost!
