Places to sell a car

MileHiSky · 09-10-2007, 03:42 PM

Hello
I saw a post (now cannot find it) where someone told how they had a lot of luck at a certain place, and no luck at another (online sales).

Where was it, does anyone know?

Thanks
R

It may have been craigslist.

Yes it was craigslist where they got the result, after having no results off of autotrader...

My boyfriend had just the opposite luck selling his '03 Focus SVT about a month ago. Absolutely no bites on craigslist, and as soon as it was posted to Autotrader he got several calls, and then even sold it to someone not from the area. Most of the calls were not from the area, so I think having it on Autotrader helped, since craigslist is local.

I have sold several cars in the past couple of years and have had lots of luck with autotrader but recently listed a car on both sites and it sold on craigslist so I have had good luck with both.

I have never sold a car either way, it is beginning to sound like luck no matter which site you try.......

Possibly belated, but what ended up selling my previous car was just picking a nice weekend, and parking him just off a busy main road in town.

Had quite a few bites (6+) on Craigslist and a few on various other sites, mostly autotrader - I listed it pretty much everywhere that would let me list it for free. But be prepared to spend more time with those methods, as some people from Craigslist, etc are flaky and see it as their divine destiny to haggle you down as much as possible, so I'd list it just slightly over what you'd like to receive.
