I like this website - I advertised my car for £10 and it sold after 2 weeks. They were very helpful too, and there is some useful info on the site.

I have used this site on more than one occasion, with very good results.
The customer service in particular is superior to other sites i have used in the past. In my experience, they have been speedy at getting my ad up and running, and also taking it down when my car had been sold (very quick sale!).
Would definitely use again.

I am the Director of DesperateSeller.co.uk. I was shocked to view our ratings on WOT. Below are reason why we are a credible company.
1) We have been trading since 2001 and sold over 5 million used cars in that time.
2) We have received many testimonials from the automotive industry e.g. BBC’s Top Gear Magazine.
3) Our database of used cars has powered Yahoo! (2004-2005), ***** (2003-2005), Excite (2004-2007) and The Independent newspaper (2005 - 2012).
4) We serve over 4000 UK approved car dealerships.
5) Our “sell your car” package is completely unique, offered for over 10 years.
Technical:
In terms of our technical set-up our website is held on one of the UK's leading server providers Rackspace. We also have a fully compliant Verisign certificate for our servers.
New website design:
I urge any negative reviewers to revisit our website to view the new design we have applied. New sections include articles and car reviews. A great deal of time and effort has gone into making the site more informative and user friendly.
Thank you in advance.
Regards

Hi
Thank you for your review. I am the Director of DesperateSeller.co.uk.
Since your review we have invested a lot of time and money into redesigning the site. Can I please encourage you to revisit (www.desperateseller.co.uk).
With regards the vehicle being over 6 months old. Unfortunately, our vehicles are provided directly by car dealers. We can only advertise what we receive. If a car dealer forgets to remove a vehicle for 6 months we have to advertise it as they pay us to advertise their cars. Its the dealers responsibility to make sure the vehicles we receive are all relevant and still for sale.
Regards
