Best Way to Sell a Car?

90mustangGT · Jul 17, 2006

What is the best/easiest way to sell a car? I am going to be selling my Camaro so I can get my Mustang back on the road. I want to get rid of this car ASAP. I don't want to take 6 months. I was thinking E-bay. How does that work? Or should I do the autotrader or maby the local classifieds. Any tips or help?

personally I used the local paper, and autotrader. I did however have a sign on the car in my driveway, I got several calls from using autotrader but ultimately the car was sold by a walkup. I contemplated ebay but the fees can rape you. gl!

I didn't know E-bay had addiional fees. That sucks. I think I will try the autotrader.

Any other experiences?

If its Camaro you are trying to sell...just go to a mullet convention. I am sure you will find all the buyers you need. J/K...

Seriously though, we have the "Auto/ RV trader" around here. It is like 3-4 states worth. Its a free distributed weekly "trader". It is huge. Anyway I have always used it and I have always sold everything quickly. Our newspaper classifieds are too much $$. I get 3 weeks in the trader with a pic and bigger ad cheaper than the local classifieds. Then just throw a 4 sale sign in the window. Goodluck.

ebay is like 30 to list the car and another 30 if it sells i believe. its fairly expensive but worth a shot.

I would go to craigslist.com personally, look on the right side of the home page and click ATL. Its pretty self explanatory. I have really good luck there, selling 2 cars, and its free and no registration is necessary.

Autotrader has always worked for me in the past. I also put a sign in the car and drive around with it for local advertising...

Good luck man.

Autotrader worked for me...one fee and it stays there till its sold.....we found my girlfriends car on there, though it was at a dealer

i'll let you know how ebay works, i just put my t/a on there like 10minutes ago. it sucks though, caus it wouldn't let me start any new paragraphs, so my nice ass write-up is now consolidsated into one big ass block. that pissed me off, and it starts counting down you're auction time BEFORE youre car even appears on the website.

im going to be pissed if it doesn't sell.

I'll try autotrader first. Well, let me get her running. Do you think getting an updated dyno and a track time might help sell it?

carbed87 · Jul 17, 2006

yes, very much so.

grey5.0beast · Jul 17, 2006

to the right person, track time and dyno might be beneficial , or it could be a killer, leading ppl to believe you beat on it. Like I said b4 though, use craigslist first, free and great in our area.

Good point. Maby I should run the dyno, and the times, but only bring it up if someone asks. For the dyno, I could say that was for when it was getting tuned. The car has a cam, longtubes, a joke of head porting, and lots of other bolt on's. If it were stock, that would be one thing.

grey5.0beast · Jul 18, 2006

that would be best IMO

Dont try Ebay if you are fluid with it, otherwise you will probably end up not selling. Autotrader works, www.camaroz28.com www.ls1tech.com www.lt1tech.com www.ls2.com www.ls1.com

try puting it on the corner with a 4sale on one of your busiest intersections in town. Everyone does that around here, its like the Target parking is also a dealership on the weekends haha

Local paper, auto trader, egay, live auction. You just have to find the niche.
