Selling Your Car in 2024? Here Are a Few of Your Best Options
Selling your car can be a drag. Tire kickers, low-ballers, and cold leads can crush your spirits. Well, it’s 2024– you have options to get your everyday driver or collectible classic car in front of the right buyers.
Depending on your car and a few other factors, you have plenty of options for selling your car
When it comes to selling your car you have options beyond taking a measly offer from dealerships or online dealer apps.
| Means to sell | Price to post or use |
|---|---|
| Facebook Marketplace | $0.00 |
| Craigslist | $5.00 |
| Cars.com | $0.00 |
| Autotrader | $49.00 |
| Bring a Trailer | $99.00 |
| For Sale sign | $0.99 |
Years ago, it was Craigslist. Now, it’s Facebook Marketplace. With no fee to post and more thorough vetting than Craigslist, Marketplace is a solid venue for collectible vehicles and sensible hatchbacks alike. Craigslist is still around but it now requires a $5.00 listing fee. Still, be prepared for scammers, browsers, and snarky trolls. However, you can share your vehicle posting with Facebook enthusiast groups, which can increase your chances of a sale.
Beyond community options, you can post your vehicle to sites with nationwide visibility. For instance, Autotrader and Cars.com have a private seller function for sellers to post their vehicles. However, be prepared to pay $49.00 to post your vehicle on Autotrader as a verified seller.
So, you’ve got a collector’s car and are willing to work with an auction site. Well, Bring a Trailer is an effective means to post your vehicle to an online enthusiast community. Similarly, Cars & Bids, the brainchild of famed automotive journalist Doug DeMuro, is another option for collector’s cars to head to auction.
