Service/MOT before sale

[hugoboss]

I want to sell my car asap, but the MOT and service is due at the end of March. Can anyone recommend a) a quick place to sell the car and b) whether or not I should pay out for the service and MOT before selling it. I would prefer not to. What do you think?

I also have a 2 year warranty and RAC cover I got with the car when I bought it last March. Would it be worthwhile going back to the dealer and trying to sell the car to them?

Ideas/thoughts greatly appreciated.

To get the most money for it I would try and sell privately.  You could try and sell it back to the dealer but they would only give you the very bottom price for it and some garages aren't interested unless you're part exchanging it for another car.

Having it MOTd would make it more desirable, but selling it with not much left you'd have to knock some money off.  Probably best to add a little to the price you're thinking of and then if anyone interested you can then 'remove' what you had added on.

Personally, for the best deal, I would sell the car privately & not to a dealer.

It is always advisable to get a years MOT before selling a vehicle. Also, when I sold my last car, I had what you'd call an interim service on it. The car sold to the first customer - mind you it in pristine condition!
