Selling the old wheels

[Snowflake]

and not buying new. I do not really need them in the city and can rent for in town or out of town trips. So, I am considering selling my car. As you already know, I lobbed a bunch of $$ into the car for repairs last year while I was commuting. I know I wont make that back, the car is too old with too much mileage on it. If I get 3k for it, it would be a miracle.

So.....the car is in very nice shape, cosmeticwise, almost no dings, inside is nice.

I do know I need to put new brake pads on the thing. What else should I do before selling it? I'm not going to make mega bucks selling it, how much more $$ should I put into before selling?

Should I just ist it on Craigslist? Any advice for a novice used car salesperson?

Snowflake,

Go to the Kelly Blue book site (http://www.kbb.com/), and plug in your car's details so you can get an idea of the market value of the car. Craigslist is always a good one to try, the price is right.

Also, never have the person meet you at your house. If someone wants to see it/test drive it, meet them in a neutral location with a lot of people around (parking lot for the local supermarket or mall).

If I want to sell some furniture should I bring it to a neutral location as well, or is there something about cars that invite criminal activity?

...And if Kevy says it....IT MUST BE TRUE!! ;)

By strange coincidence, while Snowflake goes to no car .... I'm going to Two.

We named one of our chameleons Karma; does that tie in somehow?

Okay. But are you going to fix it up before you sell it?
