Selling a supercar

Assuming I win the FordGT from TheBestOfTheBest in a few days, what is the best way to handle the sale? I could just get the Porsche Boxster S + £65,000 in cash, but I'd like to be able to say that I once owned and drove a FordGT, albeit for a short while...

eBastards charge a fortune for selling expensive items, as far as I know, but they do have one of the largest audiences.

How do you stop timewasters? It must be difficult to sort out a real buyer...

In the unlikely event that I don't win, I'll have to be content with being fast and dangerous in a cheaper car

Re: Selling a supercar

I would approach a proper dealer Robin. I'm not sure E Bay is the best way to sell such items anyway.. At least the dealer is targeting his market.

Good luck with your festive mass'
