Default Best site for selling an SC400?

I'm interested in knowing what works best for selling an SC these days. I've used CL but, as many have mentioned here, am also tired of the CL folks who send a million text messages and disappear or send the "how low will you go bro?" question without having seen, driven or discussed the care in any meaningful way.

My SC is not a give away car. I believe a '97 RSP low mileage car is still desireable. AutoTrader? What about Bring a Trailer? What else?

I'm interested in hearing what you find has worked best. I have used Ebay, CL and AutoTrader with some success.

Thanks!

That's called selling a car. Either broker someone else to do it for you or get used to it. That's how it works. Good luck!

PS- how low will you go bro?

Your car is desirable, but maybe you should put it up in the for sale section before criticizing offers you haven't even received? Also the more pictures you provide showing quality highly increases your sale probability.

Definitely a desirable car and color for what it is, but that's how things work. A car is a big ticket item, can't just swipe a debit card and drive away with it. Takes some time and work on both ends. GLWS

No offense, but it sounds like you need to put more effort into it. I'm a SC owner and I don't even know what RSP stands for... I assume it's one of the factory colors. And why no mention of SC300 or SC400? (Other than in your username, obviously.)

These are minor quibbles, but they're representative of mistakes I see all the time with people trying to sell cars. The ads that gloss over important details seem to sit for a long time. I believe the quality of the ad has a lot to do with the quality of the responses.

Some very good suggestions/comments. Thank you! Lots of good quality pictures, best to present the full service history if it's available and spell things out so no one has to guess at what is being offered for sale. Pick a few sites and see how things progress. It doesn't sound like anyone has had better luck with one site over another.
