Default What's the best way to sell a car?

Best as in: cheapest, most effective, and being able to get the most of your asking price.


I'm just curious as to what the consensus is around here.

Just put it out there as much as possible. The more people that see it the better chance you will find a buyer. This forum, other Fbod forums, autotrader, craigslist, for sale sign on your window, tell all your car buddies. Just ***** it out dude, the only thing that cost $$$ in all that is an autotrader ad, and they put it online too. If your really serious, talk to a local small dealership that you trust. For a small fee they can put it on their lot and probably get more for it than you could yourself. Or if there are any performance shops in your area, post some info there so people will see it.

Autotrader has worked every time for me. Last I checked it was like $50 and it runs until it's sold. I think they'll even come out and take a good pic of it if you want them to.

I parked my truck in front of publix one time and they put a sticker on the windshield that was a PITA to get off (even with nail polish remover) that said move it within 12 hours or they'll tow it. So just make sure it won't get towed.

I live in NJ also and i have sold about 5-7 cars on the net without paying a cent. I sold 2 of them on this site and 2 on Camaroz28.com and a few of my older 5.0 Mustangs on the Corral.net and Stangnet.com Make sure to post on the regional sections of all these boards. Also make sure not to price to high so you will get tons of intrest
