Should I sell my car on one of those internet sites that have called me since I put it in the auto trader?

Question

I have a 2005 Honda Pilot. I have a lease. It ends in 5 months.
I just hit the milage allowed for the lease. The dealer wont give me anything for it...The lease says that I have to pay 20K if I decide to buy it. The Blue Book value on the car is 25K. I put it on autotrader to sell it for $25K. I have gotten 2 calls from websites that "promise" to sell my car in 2 weeks (90 days-money back guarantee) for $169.00. Has anyone ever used a site like this? Is it a scam? I haven't gotten any calls on the auto trader ad---also yahoo cars---and it cost me $25.00

Answer 1

I would suggest you to use Craigslist.org
you will receive lot of call directly from buyers and no need to pay any fee. Get some of your car photos and describe it clearly when you post. It is better post you VIN too. I sold few cars through that site.

Answer 2

You're being spammed by the other website operators. If AutoTrader isn't getting you any action, don't expect a spammer to do any better. They'll just take your money and run.

If dealer bluebook is $25k, don't expect a private party to pay that. You might be able to roll out for near $0 if the lease company will sell it to you for $20k. You might pick up a few $$$ but don't plan on it.

Answer 3

Don't let them sell your car, it only encourages them. If it doesn't sell in Auto Trader, put it on Craigslist. It's free!
