You dont

Sell convertibles in spring, when they are popular,
buy convertibles cheap in the fall when no one in their right mind is going to buy one. I reckon £ 3.5 K more realistic as a cash sale
you need to be willing to walk away from a deal you don't like (or at least make them think that)

dont go to a dealer sell it private use auto trader or something similar
dealer will rip you off !!!
sell in the trading post or on the side of the road
..Don't buy or sell a car at a garage. Be strong in your dealings. You'll get a better deal if you sell privately and buy at an auction. Good luck
At the present time it is a buyer' market, the supply of cars outstrips demand, so you're on a loser in the first place.

Secondly, as autumn is here, and winter approaches, you have chosen exactly the wrong time of year to sell a convertible car, no matter how 'desirable' it may be, and people are now waking up to the idea that since GM took over Saab, the 9-series are now just overpriced Vectras.

Not looking good is it? Best of luck.
Well, 1st off, to get things straight, this is not a used car sales site. Please !
Anyway, being something of a used car guy, I offer the following :

If it is good nick, and as you describe it, well, probably around 2k to a dealer.
I think you are being a tad optimistic.
Sell it via a private ad in the locals would be my humble advice,
So best of luck with it.

CC > Don't keep advertising in this space. It is annoying.
You will NEVER get £5k for a 1999 Saab..convertable or otherwise..it's just another G.M. car with a better body!!

Best you can expect is a private sale - £3 - 3.5k, dealer will offer around £1.5 -2k cash or £2 - 2.5k P/X (Don't believe Parker or Glass guide books!!)

I'd advise trying to get a part exchange privately.advertise in local papers / Ebay / supermarket boards.
their aim is to get it as cheap as possible there is a profit margin in there for them they have to sell it on if u want to sell it for as much as possible sell it privatly
