I am in amerikkka
High mileage but good car, should go under 5k. Dealers are wilding with their low-ball offers
Put it on craigslist, make a burner email for the car, advertise it at 800-1k higher. You’ll almost always end up coming down off the price unless you are holding something people are truly beating your doors down to get from you. Start higher and come down. Wait a week or so, drop it 250.
Clean the ever loving shit out of it. Inside, outside. Dump a can of seafoam in the gas tank when it gets down about 1/2 or lower. Run that out and refill it.
Be prepared to negotiate some if there are major leaks, transmission shudders, shit brakes, bald tires etc. that’s why you start high. Don’t negotiate on stuff that is wear and tear. It’s a used car, it’s gonna have a few blemishes.
With things being the way they are, expect to wait a few weeks before you sell it. I’ve sold all my old cars on Craigslist, never taken longer than a couple weeks. Advertise on other things too. OfferUp etc.
Go to Wallyworld and get a for sale sign to stick in window when it’s parked. They’re like 2 dollars and don’t have an expiration date. Put down a layer of masking tape over the signs information area, write on those and rip em off when you’re done. Take that bitch back to Wallyworld and get your two dollars back. Fuck Walmart.

sold my car on one of the used markets for 2k over dealership offers at the time. was in good condition when i sold it as well
seconding feinsteins advice, i got a lot more hits when i was 1k over my actual asking price and sold pretty much instantly
Craigslist, Fb Marketplace, Offerup. NextDoor, idk?
Alright cool I would have said craigslist 10 years ago but not sure if I was being a boomer. And I havent logged on to Facebook in probably 10 years as well so wasn’t sure if people sold cars on there
I’ve gotten rid of five or six of my old junkers when they were to bashed up to drive on CL. YMMV depending on your area but it’s still relatively busy.
