I don't know what the trade price would have been for it. Looking at Autotrader, if we'd gone down the private sale route we would have asked about £5500 (trade asking prices varying from £5K - £6.5K)
We were quoted £4700 - £4900 from SureSell, with the reserve set at £4.9K. Actually went for £5.1K so we'll realise the lower valuation, after charges.
So, yes, we're technically short of potential cash, but given it was collected from my work on Friday and sold by the Wednesday with zero hassle (apart from the V5 worry!), then we're happy with the outcome.
As an aside, we went the SureSell route after HJ's repeated praises.
