Default Best media to sell my 2000 sc?

I got a different car, so it's time to let the sc400 go.
What do y'all feel is the best media to advertise her?, like craigslist, or auto trader, or something of that nature?

Anyways, I still have my is350, so I'll still be around...

Cheers,
Doug

Hmm, I thought there were rules against advertising your car in here? I was trying to be respectful of the rules. Maybe I better look at the "for sale" link. I think I'm going to let her go quite reasonably, as I need some money to help with my new z06

Sorry to highjack, but please tell me I see a convertible SC400 in your sig?!

And OP, Car Gurus or eBay. EBay will be an easy sell. Saw a few of my year 400's with more mile's and stock, go for $10-$11k easy.

I sold my SC400 on craigslist in 2 hours flat... took the cash straight to the dealership and left in my IS350 an hour later.

Could have sold it even quicker but we were grocery shopping after I posted it for sale. By the time we got home I had 5 different people waiting for me to meet them at pepboys all at the same time. Easiest sale ever.

Is was a 92 sc400 had like 240k but was actually in great shape. Let it go for $2800 just so I could move on to the next. I posted in the add that $2800 was my haggle free lowest price nothing less.

Good deal . It all depends on where you are... ...supply and demand.

Here in GA... I guess a lot of them on different sites and ads. Tough selling an SC for a good price not unless it is one of the rare ones.

Ya, don't remember the history of that car but remember there were two of em. I used to roam the aussie soarer sites back in 03 as they were working on superchargers for the sc4, found that car on the forums there (soarer central maybe).

I'm not seeing how to list or post your car for sale here, in the used cars section. Forgive my stupidity, but could someone direct me to the page for listing?

I'm afraid that people will freak out at my asking price, even though it's going to be at "fair" KBB values, because the paint is getting worn out. But , it's only got 97k miles, and best of all, it IS a 2000.

So while most kids can come up with $2800, I think they'll gasp at $8500ish

What's the maintenance history and are there any value added mods? How's the interior? Is anything currently broken? When you say worn paint do you mean clear coat peeling, or paint chipping?
