Other places to sell cars besides the dreaded CL?

So far the only places I've listed the MR2 are local Facebook SCCA groups, Craigslist and here.

What are some other good options for a non-appliance car? Thought about BringaTrailer, but a little leary of an auction format.

I still want it- and I'm still not in a position to buy at that price (note, the price is reasonable but I am not ). Do you still have the stock seat/belts?

MR2oc has a good classified section.

Auto Trader? eBay?

I'm in agreement with you as to the crappiness of Craigslist. I've gotten to the point where I'd rather throw perfectly good things away than screw around with the trash on there.

Uhhhhh... HERE? There is no other place.

Its not a bad candidate for BAT in my opinion. Take a bucketload more pictures. If they accept the listing, you'll probably get good $ for it. If you are concerned about the auction format, set your reserve at the price you want to get.

Racing junk is another option.

Once you've listed the car on Bring a Trailer they do not want you to sell it elsewhere. I don't think that's wrong of them, just keep it in mind. The auction is considered binding in their eyes and they tell you not to advertise it other than to link potential buyers back to the auction.

My wife seems to be addicted to OfferUp.

I can't complain because I have almost enough lumber in my garage to build another garage and it was cheap as hell.

There's a bunch of cheapish cars on there. I'm not sure how fast they move though.

I had almost no interest when I listed my E36 on Craigslist. Then I decided to bite the bullet, pay for an ad on AutoTrader, and to my surprise I had a ton of interest and sold it in about a week.

Faceplace market place, auto trader, BAT (have had great success there) and even try the news paper.

When I listed my MR2 on CL I got mostly flakes and people with no money. My price was high but reasonable for the condition. I listed it on Ebay where is sold but the buyer backed out after using the Buy-It-Now option. I finally listed on Autotrader and got my asking price, no haggling.

How about GRM classifieds?

I assumed autotrader was mostly for newer cars, I'm willing to pay for an ad. I hoped I could list at $5k or reasonable offer and get something in the 4's. It's been all motorcycles and "all I got is $3k would you do 3?"

Also hoped it would sell before grm would go to press but apparently not.

In reply to ¯_(ツ)_/¯:

I do. Seat is in a bag in good shape, the belt is on a shelf somewhere. Anything in the 4k's is reasonable.

How about a motorcycle and 3K?

Facebook is quickly becoming the new craigslist. I see good deals on there all the time and cars sell within weeks

As a seller, I hate Craigslist. But as a buyer, I absolutely love Craigslist.

As already mentioned, OfferUp is an option. Ultimately I ended up selling my C1500 with it, but it has even more lowballers than CL.

I'm going to donate a car for the tax credit because I don't want to deal with selling it on Craigslist or eBay.

Be careful, wasn't the incentive for doing such a thing whittled down several years ago? Or maybe it depends on your state?

It used to be you could claim the high retail value, I did it once years ago. Nowadays you can only claim whatever the charitable foundation gets for it when they sell it, which could be as low as scrap value.

Yes, before they gave a donation receipt for book value. Now they give a receipt from the actual sale amount. At least from what I understand from the process.

OP your car is too nice for this option. Ebay will probably get you the broadest audience to see the car. Take lots of good pictures and make a good description.
