Default Has anyone ever tried selling there car on ebay?

If so, how was the experience? Is it worth it? Can anyone suggest any other good places to advertise my car for sale?

Default not worth it

90% of the times the winning bidder will not come through.

It is a very good place to garner interest (locally or semi locally), however.

Default I had a car that was vandalized and totalled out...

And I used ebay to check the market value, it worked very well in my case as I had a show truck, and it let the insurance company know that the "Book Value" wasn't enough.

However, I don't think Ebay is worth it unless you're selling a car worth under $5000, or you just want to get rid of a car period.

I would say most ebay sales are 10 to 20% less then if you sold them locally, and plus ebay charges two limbs

Default i bought my Audi on Ebay

I bought my A4 on ebay about a month and a half ago. I got a good deal, but i don't think the seller feels the same way. I got a 96 A4 w/ 78k for $10G. I was pretty happy with my deal (definatly a step up from my saturn). But you can always watch the auction of similar cars and see what the close at. My friend sold a jeep for 4G more than he could get for it locally

Default I did.

I sold a Saab 900 convertable that I restored and it worked out well. The people drove 5 hrs to pick it up. No problems. I think ebay is good for rare, odd, high-miles, etc. Seems like Audi's go too cheap (for a seller). My $.02
