I'm finally getting around to selling my 2007 ES 350, I pick my newer one up this next week.

What's your opinion on best place to advertize these days? Autotrader, cars.com, CarSoup, Craiglist?

I have sold 2 cars on craiglist, but they were much lower price and very different.

Curious where others have had the most success.

Craigslist is free so i always list on there when i want to sell a car or anything els
as far as sits you have to pay for listings at id say autotrader is how i would go

Yeah, don't gt me wrong, I love Craiglist, but I feel like the spambots are posting 100's of cars a day, many the same ones over and over. I just wasn't sure is CL was the right place for a $20,000 car.

Having said that, I did post an ad, I have 7 replies, all people trying to scam me be sending me a cashiers check and having an "associate" pick up the car. One of them asked only two questions: where is the car? and is is outside at night. No other questions. Good grief.

When i was selling my '99 Town Car way back in 2006 (to buy our 2007 Ultra), I advertised it the traditional way - local newspapers. Took less than 2 weeks to sell it.

I used CL to sell an old 1997 Toyota Tacoma pickup a couple of months ago. On the first day, I had EIGHT phone calls. I sold it to the first person who came by to look at it. I got my full asking price too. OTOH, it was cheap, only $6200. Plus, old Tacomas are real popular out here. Not sure how an expensive luxury car will do, but it's worth a try.

i sold a 98 mark VIII Collector Edition on CL about 5 years back with 21,000 miles on it for 15k

i also sold a 1940 Harley Davidson Knuckle Head for 25,000 within 2 hours of posting it

+1 for Craigslist. Sold my 2002 Tacoma last september for full asking price to the second person I spoke to.

The way I get around the spam on CL, for anything I sell, is to ask the potential buyer to email me a phone number where I can call them at. I also state in the add that all emails will be ignored. If someone replies to the email chances are they are a spammer or a tire kicker; neither of which I have time for.

Either way, good luck!

Yeah 1sWt2GS, good point! Thanks! I don't even know why I didn't think of that.

I'll look to see if there is a more appropriate forum, I've never really ventured out of this category too much.

Having said, that, 2007 ES 350, nav, heated, ventilated seats, gold with tan, 58,000 miles, for sales, $19,900. It's in Minneapolis, so come get it people...
