ebays the best dont put a reserve on it, and to cover the cost of listing your car get a mate to bid your car up for you (in a different name) if he wins it he obiviously aint guna pay you,you can give second highest bidder a second chance to buy your car either way you havent lost nuthing then you can advertise in autotrader.

ebay is not bad if you have a car folks want...but you may not get your asking price and ebay has a set fee for listing cars which is non refundable I think it's like $40. So even if you don't sell your car it's that much you pay regardless. Auto trader isn't bad either...again you have a fee to pay and have to negotiate with lots of people. The best way to sell an automobile I have found is to just put a forsale sign on it and deal with people who show up to look at it. Also...be wary of those who ask if you will take payments....the bank takes payments...you shouldn't. And if you do...I suggest you hold on to the car and the title until the purchaser pays in full. Also draw up a contract which clearly states that no money is refundable if they decide later they don't want the car...this will help get only serious buyers.
Hope this helps

As a buyer I have bought 2 cars, for a friend and my wife using www.autotrader.com. I like because I have more options locally.
craigslist is very disorganized and ebay is good to put a lot of pictures, but the bidding game can be difficult for some people. When I know what I want I go to autotrader.

EBAY HAS FAR MORE AUDIENCE AND THE WINNING BIDDER HAS TO BUY THE CAR SINCE THE CONTRACT IS LEGALLY BINDING. ON AUTOTRADER YOU'LL GET LOTS OF INTERESTED PEOPLE WHO WILL JUST WASTE YOUR TIME BY TEST DRIVING AND THEN OFFERING YOU 50%.
BUT EBAY IS THE MOST EXPENSIVE AT $80..... $40 TO LIST, $40 WHEN YOU SELL.

probably auto trader - you would have to pay listing fees and commission on the total sale value if you used ebay

Try Auto trader first. as you will get more money for your car.
You always get low prices on Ebay (trade prices)

I would sell locally and on Ebay. When you put it on Ebay, reserve the right to sell locally in your ad.
Good luck

its up to you but if you put it on e-bay you can put a reserve price on it so that means if it does't make the price you want it to be you dont have to sell it but if you dont put a reserve price that means you have to sell it so make sure you put a reserve price on it just in case you dont want to sell it!!!!
