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?

      Down With The Devils: Series Wrap-up

      By Stumpy · Posted

      Well bois, we gave the Devils their due! Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery... The jersey boys have been trying to jack our steeze for a few years now. They've followed our blueprints and studied our tape. Every offseason, they pounce on our sloppy seconds in a Newark minute. Quick with the puck, ferocious on the forecheck and stifling team defense. Down to the colors, this is this closest we'll come to having to play ourselves in Ole Stanley's Hockey Hoedown. As the postseason began, Rod stood flexing in the gym mirror and saw this guy staring back from the void... (Shutters) When beating us at our game didn't work, Timo and the Tri-State Trash tried to tango instead. Outside of a bitchass cheapshot on Freddie, that poo didn't work either. Their goon squad was getting wrecked by our bantam weights. As much as we all wanted to see Svechy or Staal Bunyan literally break someone in half after the Great Dane went down, they didnt need to. Our munchkins were monsters! Jarvis obliterating giants at the blue line, Logan laying the Stank on dudes twice his size and Blakers blasting Timo into next season. It was beautiful to see! (Side note: Does JBlo wear lead weights under his pads? 170lbs shouldn't be able to hit that hard!) We closed it out in 5, for the gentleman's sweep. Only team in the league to win a series in each of the past 7(?) seasons! And, this was supposed to be a rebuilding year... Onto the awards: Key To The Series : 6 for 19 - .316% IT FINALLY WORKED!!! MVP : 16/180 g/s - .911 save% - 2.53 gaa Seriously, without this dude, we would've won in 3! (Trust me bro) 3rd Star : 6/94 g/s - .936 save % - 1.59 gaa The Great Dane   2nd Star : 3 g - 5 a - +1 - 20:38 toi/g - 18 hits - 3 bs - 58.1% fo 3 PP goals and the 2OT series winning goal! WOOAAAHHH NELLY!!!!   And, your 1st Star of the series : 5 g - 1 a - +3 - 16:48 toi/g - 16 hits - 1 bs - 1 tk - 50% fo Zero, I repeat, zero penalty minutes for the series! MISSSTAAAHHH SVEEECHNIKOOOV!!!!!! Onto The Next: Now, we wait for the Habs to make it a nasty 7 game slog, while we recuperate. And, hopefully, get Nikishin, and some of the other black aces some real peactice time. We are gonna need those guys at some point. Because, if you think the Devils were dirty, hoooo boy, wait till you see what's next...

      I don’t watch college football anymore (used to be Stanford STH but meh), but my wife is Hawaiian and her favorite color is purple, so I guess I knew Tet was my new favorite player to root for when he came out in a purple suit and lei and threw up the Shaka.
