Best Way To Sell An Old Used Car?

I have a 2000 Honda Accord. 140k Miles is pretty low for the year. The interior is in bad condition, speakers shot, paint wearing off the exterior. Issues with the suspension. Really the only thing it has going for it is the engine and the fact its a very popular model/make/year. 

I need to sell it. I'm wondering what the quickest way to get fair value would be. Junk yard? Sell to a dealer? Obviously everyone says craigs list but my experience with craigs list is you get spammed with scammers and people looking for you to take well below market value. I'm not dead set on getting top dollar. Just a reasonable offer with as little headache as possible.

The only way you get 'market value' is to sell it yourself - everything else will yield less since the buyers in those scenarios will be looking to make money based on ultimately selling it for the same market value that you're after. Have you ever sold a car on CL? Even if someone lowballs you, it's likely worth your time to deal with a new of those and end up selling for the full value.

If you just want rid of it, you can try a CarMax purchase offer (assuming you have one nearby). Just roll up and see what they'll pay you.

Lol

good luck getting "fair value" for any car you own

my car's two years old, has 15k miles, and the trade in value is 5k lower than the loan because all these dealers do is lowball you 

edit: also i'd rather have pins driven through my feet and a bullhorn slowly shoved up my ass than negotiate with people on craigslist

Carmax will low ball the heck out of ya.

Pop a sign in the window and see how much traffic you get or find a mom and pop place that sells only Hondas etc. 

Now if you just want to sell it and be done with it. Carmax is very simple.

Bingo.

Find someone in a high traffic area around town that you can pay $100 to once it sells and park it there with a $2 sign in the dash.

Clean it up as good as you can, and someone will buy it, if for nothing else than the low mileage.

Gotta ask, why is a car with only 140k on it in this bad of shape?

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      When the panthers are bad, we sell a shockingly low number of jerseys, and options become limited. In the good years, we had a lot of different options. I think T-Mac is going to have to play well on the field for his jersey to get produced in the FUSE template.

      it's not the only way to be a threat, it's certainly important for certain roles in an offense and for certain type players and offenses.  as is the ability to get open quickly and generate easy throws.   as far as Renfrow goes, I have consistently said he is sort of his own thing and not really in comp w/ others here.  It's a niche role/job.  Anyone talking about something else from him isn't me.  Just depends if we want to do what he does and if he can still do it.  as far as AT goes, yeah, he does lower our ceiling given the % of our offense that goes through him and his limitations at this stage in his career.    He should be a roleplayer, much like Renfrow should be if we want to insert what he does into the O....not an O being run through him.    Renfrow isn't going to lower the ceiling if used correctly.  Niche assignments to move chains.   It's like a short yardage RB that comes in to pick a random play.  Renfrow is best at that 3rd and 4 type scenario IMO. AT lowers the ceiling because we build the pass game off an old WR that shouldn't be the focal point of a pass attack.  Not to mention, Bryce Young is practically tailor made to get the ball in the hands of YAC players.   So you need those type on the field.
