Advertise it on here in the classifieds and on Pistonheads. That's what I've done with my 147.
You'll only get a quick sale if it's advertised well and at a reasonable price for the condition.
If you want a really quick sale, drop it on eBay with no reserve (or a low one) on a 7 day auction. You need to describe it very accurately on ebay though, as if the buyer agrees to buy it sight unseen then if there's anything not described in the ad that they spot, they can walk away.

Yep Agree
I completely agree Pistonheads is were I sold my 156 recently but our lovely Alfaowner site is also fab for listing cars and car bits.
Avoid Ebay they will take loads of money off you and you will probably end up with a load of ****** coming round and kicking tyres.
Good luck with your sale.

I'm not sure that is true anymore, they have abolished free standard ads and the premium ads are now £10.

Nope, still the case - I placed my 147 ad there 2 days ago and it's a premium ad. I've been a member there for a while.
Here's the new changes that will be implemented (or may already have been); http://pistonheads.com/news/default.asp?storyId=24046

I shifted my 156 pretty fast via eBay classifieds. Priced it low enough to sell, said "no offers", listed it on a Tuesday. Heard nothing for a couple of days then had about four people calling on the Friday and first thing Saturday to arrange a viewing. First guy who drove it bought it, no haggling - probably means it went far too cheaply, but then it is a buyer's market and I wanted the quick sale.

I hope not, it's costing me an arm and a leg to keep it insured as a second car.
Thanks mate.

·3 years ago my beautiful red Selespeed 156 was put on Pistonheads and Autotrader and all I got was scammers and timewasters - this went on for 2 weeks. Then I remembered that my old 155 was sold to a guy that happened to be passing as I was washing her on my drive - he liked the look of her, we got talking and I was looking to sell soon.
So I gave my Sele a good polish, put a couple of signs in the front and rear windows and parked her on the road outside my house for a week. 3 people knocked on my door over the weekend and the 4th one who lived 200m up the road bought her there and then as a present for his gf.
If you live on a suitable road, I sincerely suggest you try it!
