I have my focus listed on craigs list, autotrader, a focus only forum, and a couple local papers. Is there anything else I can list my car on that I don't know about? Thanks.

You getting any nibbles on it??
Nothing :( I just lowered the price on autotrader, I hope that helps, but nothing yet. My parents have been searching the local dealerships, they want to trade (bleh) but the most I've been offered for a trade is 6500. The only miata they have found is a white 02 automatic base for 19K! No buenoQuote:

I was thinking of that, my dad made me an interesting deal , and I was trying to remember what it was called.Quote:

They will buy your car even if you don't buy theirs.
Their prices are also non-negotiable so don't even bother asking for more.
I wish I had the funds. I'm looking to sell my Nissan truck in a few months and get a more family friendly 5-seater but I think your car is a bit more than I care to spend.
Good Luck!
Have you advertised in Dallas Morning News or Fort Worth Star?
I noticed you put it on Craigslist but there are no pictures. People like to see pics. Plus it's free on there. Also you should repost it so it's fresh for that day. Just trying to help.
Give CarMax a try. It's free for them to quote you.
Don't rush out and sell it to Carmax or something, you'll get ripped off. If you've got the car in the local papers, you must also have it in Cars.com. The only other idea I can think of is to find a SVT forum with a local section.
Good luck with the sale. Try not to be in a hurry, if you rush this you'll lose money.
jolberry makes a good point. I haven't looked at your cars.com or autotrader ads, but make sure you have lots of pictures. People like to see what they're buying, and a lot of people - myself included - will typically completely ignore an online ad that doesn't show at least a couple of pics. As the old saw goes, "a picture is worth a thousand words".Quote:

Good call on the pics!
Get the two young ladies to nap in it again when you take the pictures! ::Naughty:
Dirty old man! ;)Quote:
