The majority of my life has been shitty cars picked up for small amounts of money. That changed a ways back when I picked up my 2015 WRX. Now that boyo has arrived and the better 3/4s is doing the at home thing, I need out of the payments. I’ve already picked up the replacement, an ‘04 Turbo Fozzy, and now it is time to divest myself of Hiro.

Craigslist is my standard go-to for buying and selling cars, but the Forester is by far the most expensive thing I’ve picked up from there, and I’m asking a shitload more for the Rex than that. I’d like to improve my sale chances by broadening my horizons and posting to multiple places.

So Oppositelock, where do you post your fancier cars? Where do you shop for your fancier cars? How to you shine out in the dreary world of winter beaters and half-baked project cars? This probably applies more to US Oppos than otherwise, but it is still good conversation to get outside opinions.

Excellent idea, but for the “getting out of the payment” part.

I sold my 05 FXT on the local classifieds and got what I wanted. Moral of the story is that you will almost always get more money private party.

Rich people sites always have proper punctuation.

I listed my 128i on autotrader and CL and got 0 hits, I eventually sold it to Beepi. Personally I’d try autotrader or cargurus or something along those lines and then maybe venture into CL if it doesn’t sell.

Thanks, I hadn’t thought about AT and CG is new to me.

I’ve had a car listed simultaneously on Hemmings, Autotrader, and Craigslist for months now - 14 inquiries, no follow through. I have successfully sold a couple of vehicles on Autotrader and Cycletrader in the past, though.

money is just a number

Yup. And it deducts a number from a bigger number every month. And that bigger number says what I can do for the month.

Yup. I’m human and live in the real world.
