Selling my old car: listing it myself vs. those 'cash now' guys
I needed to sell my 2008 Honda Civic fast last month, so I tried two things. First, I put a sign in the window and posted it on Craigslist for $2,800. I got a lot of calls, but most were lowball offers or people who never showed up. Then, I called one of those 'we buy any car' places that advertise on the radio. They offered me $1,500 cash on the spot, no questions. The difference was time versus money. By dealing with the hassle myself for two weeks, I got an extra $1,300. The 'fast cash' route was quick, but it cost me almost half the car's value. If you can wait a little, the extra work pays off. Has anyone else found a good middle ground for a quick but fair sale?
