I once had a car where the engine later was non functional, as a result of coolant in oil=no more engine. I still owe 2,400 on the car and it is in the parking lot of the man i got it from. How do i go about selling the car? I do not want to owe that forever. Do i just go on craig'slist and post the milage and condition? Or since i haven't paid off the car can i not even sell it? Also i do not have the registration he does since it is in his lot. How do i go about selling this car, if i even can. He said he is looking at the condition tommorow to see what needs to be done, i think he wants me to fix it up. But i just want it out of my life. I have a new car... and this car broke down a year ago.

this is hard to say but since you still owe money for this car. it is your best to pay it off so that way you can sell it or the guy which the car on his lots might take it from you if you paid it off but try this. shop around for a good mechanic and take it there to your mechanic and get an estimate on how much it will cost you to fix it and after you do that. let mechanic write you a list of parts that your car need and go to eBay.com and shop for the parts, its cheaper on eBay and when you do that bring the parts to your mechanic and let him or her fix it or install it for you. so you can list your car on cars.com, craig'slist.com or even on eBay.com and be sure to put the condition of the car so you can get a customer but i will say try to find out how much it will cost you to fix the car first and than sell it. it is easier to sell a car that is running instead of not running. this is a hard decision but you smart. you can find a way to fix this problem. you have to choice. first fix the car and sell it or keep it after fix or sell it without being fix and you won't get money back. good luck and hope something good come from all this.

You'll have to pay the car off to sell it. You really don't own it until the loan is paid off. Depending on the year of the car and the condition you may or may not be able to get the $2400 for it. I'm not sure what is wrong with your old car, it may be a head gasket. See what it will cost you to repair it and then what you can sell it for in good condition. Then see what you can sell the car for without the repair. Then you'll have a good idea which way to go. I would have to think that a car that is running is a lot easier to sell than one that doesn't. Plus you'll get a lot more money for it.
good luck

There are free advertising in the newspapers and in the internet.. Try to post it there with captivating lines about the car you are selling..
You could also email all your friends that you're selling your car..
That's it!

SELL IT "AS-IS" AND SEE WHAT YOU CAN GET FOR IT AND TELL THE BUYER OF ITS PROBLEMS UP FRONT OR FIX IT AND DRIVE IT.
