Selling My Car on Craigslist. Advice?
- Thread starter grapedrink
- Start date
well, I can't help you then, you weirdo hermit
If they could give me an estimate remotely and a reasonable number, then would bang. Otherwise I'm bummed out from driving to 2 dealerships only to get lowballed with the KBB instant offer crap. Oh well
Go to the bank with the buyer and have him have the bank cut a check or money order. He gives money to the bank, bank gives money to you.Posted my car last night. Listed it for $9900, KBB private party has it around $10.5-11k. Looked at some comps on autotrader with a 200 mile radius so I think my price is competitive without lowballing myself.
Already getting inquiries, many of whom seem like they are flippers. Different area codes, texts going right into asking about the Title instead of the car itself, offering cash, etc.
I'm at least smart enough to not accept a check or any other form of payment other than cash, but is there anything else to be aware of? Such as counterfeit cash? Should I meet the buyer to his face at mine or their bank so I know that I am not getting funny money?
Finally- should I be posting a pic of a craigslist hooker for your troubles?
Amtrak goes from SLO to OXD and back. They would probably drive you to the station. I took the train to the valley last year during the first lockdown and the salesman picked me up in a big SUV with full mask protocol. The business class upgrade is always worth the $14 or whatever it is now.
Put a cute little stuffed animal in the picture, include it in the price and description, make it part of your brand.
Keep a camera rolling and make it clear you're not someone who automatically believes haggling price is part of the game, it is not to your advantage unless you are at least somewhat unscrupulous or generally of shifty character.
Some people think the haggle is textbook buying and selling and they need to try to gain advantage this way. Have them know that you are unwaivering upon a firm price, only you need to know if you'll allow any wiggle room as you see fit and fair. Advantage=you.
1.5% please...

I always end up driving/towing my car to the salvage yard.
I've never sold any of my cars.
I recommend that.

Gave away the 20 yr old Subaru for tax credit. One car household and no more street parking for moi!
I feel like old media is the realm of scammers
using technology seems to be a decent first filter for things
facebook market, ebay, next door, etc
Agree. My second attempt was with SHIFT. They pulled a Fat kid out of his mother’s basement, gave him an iPad and UBERED him out to do an appraisal. After an hour he offered me $4,500 less than I was asking. So I flat refused and he would not negotiate with me. I sent him on his way, so he walked about a hundred feet down the block and sat on the curb for 2 hours waiting for his ride.
Epic show. The funniest part was how an elite military squad using automatic weapons never successfully landed a single bullet in a human target
