Default Considering selling 2015 awd rc 350 fsport

i think I want to sell my 2015 RC 350 fsport AWD. Any suggestions on where to list? I want it to go to an enthusiast if possible.
car has a branded title due to interior being vandalized. I bought it restored from a dealer with warranty but am unsure if it's transferable.

I'm looking at a hybrid that I can commute with. I drive 100 miles a day for work and like this car too much to kill it by driving the wheels off it.
so question 2 any recommendations on a hybrid?

Your situation is understandable since the 3.5L V6 combined with AWD is thirsty. You're probably getting in the low 20s mpgs at best.
Consider autotrader/carmax if you want to sell it privately, or in the Classifieds in Club Lexus, but if you want to avoid the hassle at the cost of some $K, trade it in when purchasing your hybrid.

As for hybrids, there are several options in the market and depends on your MPG goal, budget, vehicle type/style. But one thing I'd strongly recommend is to stick to Toyota/Lexus since they are, to state the obvious, best-in-the-business in terms of the hybrid powertrain including the eCVT transmission.

Lexus CT 200h (owned it and got high 30s mpgs in winter, up to 50 mpgs in warmer weather)
Lexus ES 300h (EPA ~ 40 mpgs)
Lexus NX 300h (EPA ~ 32 mpgs)
Lexus GS 450h (EPA ~ 30 mpgs)
Lexus RX 450h (EPA ~ 30 mpgs)

Toyota Prius (EPA mid 50s mpg)
Toyota Camry (EPA low 40s mpg)
Toyota Avalon (EPA ~ 40 mpg)
Toyota RAV4 (EPA mid 30s mpg)

You can also go the used car route but I'd stick to low age/mileage to get the most of of the 8 year/100k mile hybrid powertrain warranty.

If you would like to see additional opinions where topics like these are more commonly discussed, post in Car Chat forum as well.

i would suggest the GS450h on this list, its the most sporty and has the most power and imo looks the best, or the NX300h
