Best Classifieds (other than here)

I need to grab a larger audience for my ’92.

Cars.com has a basic deal for $25.00 for 2 weeks or $40.00 for the enhanced ad.

Autotrader.com is a bit more but they offer a $39.00 and $49.00 packages.

My question is which one do you think would be the better choice? I know I found my ’92 in the Ft. Worth StarTelegram which works with Cars.com.

So whom would you use? Am I missing any other sources?

TIA

I thought cars.com would let you renew the ad for free until it sells. That's what I used when I was selling my '92 and my last motorcycle.

If you are going to pay, Autotrader has the added bonus of your car being not only online, but also in the printed magazine so you get the added exposure.

When I sold my 2000, it sold through :batman: 's classifieds. The otheres didn't do crap. Of course, that was back in 2001, so things may have changed. :scratch:

I used Autotrader to sell my brother's Explorer when he moved to Australia... it's a nice feature to pay once and have it run until it sells. I got a fair number of calls on it.

Hey I'm a huge fan of Free! :cheers:

I think do like Titus suggested and try it for a week, then list it on one of the paid sites!

Thanks!

I guess it depends on how quick you want to unload the merchandise. I'd suppose the paid sites would broaden your audience.

And you can post up to four pics. Can't do that on Autotrader without paying extra. :thumrigh:

If you do end up paying, I would go with autotrader. That's where I've found my last three cars.

I sold my '93 RX-7 and my '98 Prelude both through Autotrader.com. Highly recommended.

I sold my 96 on Craigslist in only 3 days! I had four calls on the second day, 2 people showed up at the same time to look at it and the first guy to drive it bought it. Oh, as previously said... IT WAS FREE!:clap:
