ceeloveSo hey, I seem to have bought a car - a 2004 Scion xb. Why? Because I've sunk a couple thousand dollars into Ariel, my 1992 Civic, in the last year, and when I took her in a couple of weeks ago for a new muffler, they noticed her radiator was also about to bite it. Having no skill in keeping up reliable-but-aging cars myself, it's time for me to pass it on.
Dealership offered me $500, which I turned down flat. Kelley Blue Book value is $1860, but presumably I wouldn't ask that due to aforementioned radiator. I'd guess my target buyer would be someone short on cash but long on knowledge of how to keep up such a car. It's got 173,000, I've served it well and it's served me well, and it should run to well over 200,000.
I've never used craigslist, but from what I've heard, that's an obvious method. Pointers? Other suggestions?
