Craiglist advantages: free and local.

Disadvantages: it seems like the worst people are on craigslist. No firm commitment so there could be a lot of test drives with no buy

ebay: larger reach. Deposit paid upon winning auction ensures transaction goes through

Disadvantages: you pay about $80 to sell a car on ebay.

Autotrader: seems pretty clean and vetted.

Disadvantages: probably the smallest market.

This is for a sub 8k car btw.
 
Try a sign in the window. Completely depends on the car BTW. I sold my first car through this forum years ago. Second car was sold on NASIOC. I sold my dad's truck with a for sale sign in under 2 weeks.

Hey, thanks, man. Never thought of that.
 
What car?

Cheap, popular cars will sell fast on CL.

Another scourge of CL are the car-selling services that will start soliciting you. 😡
 
I've had good luck with autotrader over the years. I'd also post it on CL and forums that are relevant to your car. Ebay- I think of either rare or bottom dollar cars.
