Best way to private sale a car or truck?

[sspstang]

Without dealing with the BS I would say autotrader. I have always had good luck with them. Craigslist, is hit or miss. I have decent luck with that site, just know that you will have a lot of tire kickers, but I guess that comes with any where you are trying to sale.

I did all three with my Cobra a few months ago. It took 3 months to sell and it was to a kid off Autotrader. Trying to sell my daily on there now - 2.5 weeks in and 2 bites. Both cars were listed at or below KBB as well as discounted periodically and always middle of the pack or lower compared to other similar cars for sale.

CL. I had my Mustang listed Friday night, was getting inquiries that night and had several buyers lined up, sold it on Sunday. The key to CL is to hotlink pics in from photobucket, those small ones you attach to the CL ad aren't worth a shit.

Another vote for CL here.

How does Carmax work? You bring it there, they appraise it, you decide and sell it to them? Just like that?

Yep, no appointment necessary. Just drop by and request a written estimate on your vehicle. You hang out in the waiting room for about 40 minutes. And they will lowball the shit out of you, then put it writing good for 7 days. And then you grab your keys back and go about your business.

Same here. I tried them on my mom's Neon that NADA had valued at $2500. They offered $800. I don't know how they stay in business. Sold the car 2 weeks late for $2500, no problem.

CL & model-specific Internet forums. Price it right, give a good description, and take LOTS of good pictures and it will sell. In my opinion, the pictures and the description make the ad.

very solid rec on the model specific forum! I always list mine on them, but I figured that went without saying
