Default Where to sell these days?

I've listed this 2010 IS350c F-Sport for sale on Craigslist, cars.com, auto trader and fb marketplace. Its only been a few days but so far I've only received scam responses. Do y'all have any suggestions of how to reach the best audience these days? Maybe just drive it a lot with a for sale sign on it? I don't live near a big city so its hard to think that or parking it with a sign would do much. Maybe it hasn't been long enough to get enough viewers?

I usually do just Craigslist myself, but the other services you have are very good as well.

Keep it up for more time, and you will get the perfect buyer eventually. If scammers or tire kickers call you, screw with them and waste their time.

The original owner of my LS430 had the ad up for a month before I came along, and they had alot of the same type of people bothering them as well.

ok thanks, that's reassuring. After I put this post up, I did actually have some non scam contacts through marketplace so at least that seems like a step in the right direction. thanks again, I appreciate it.

Your car looks a dream. F-Sport, 350 engine, super wheels. Why on earth would you want to sell it?

I will likely regret it I'm sure, however I did not realize the emotional attachment I have to the 2 seater stick shift I bought this to replace. I can't keep both sad I know.

I would recommend selling this on Cars and Bids. You will get a fast turn around. How much are you looking for to sell it?

I had a great offer at my local Carmax, let them inspect and and give you an offer so you have a ballpark figure of what it's worth in today's market, they give you a week to think about it too.

That's a beautiful looking conv. It should sell pretty quick on the right platform to sell.

that's where I bought it!
I paid $15,500 on there and then spent almost $4,000 on brakes, rotors and fluids so I would like to get close to $18,000. does that sound reasonable? I find most people looking at it compare it to the non F-Sport edition.

I have to drive over an hour for a carmax. It would be an adventure I'm sure.

I will give it more time. In the meantime, I'm not complaining, I'm driving it.

Yes I have been driving it but still looking to sell. Probably haven't exposed it enough - I get many compliments but I don't usually have the for sale sign on it.

I drive a widebody is250 and I’ve actually been looking to either buy or trade for an is250c, I kinda had the same problem I don’t really know where to post it especially because it’s modified. I figured the forums would be the best bet but you apparently can’t just post in the marketplace section straight away.
