Replying to: erics6 (Dec 17, 2006 11:01 am) You're lucky -- I used to have no trouble selling used cars, no matter what their condition. I live in a different area now, and people here seem to look askance at buying used cars privately. I put the Sentra in the local paper, penny saver, online, local Web sites, signs on car, signs in the office, etc. for a month and got not ONE phone call except from auto sales brokers. Keep in mind this car looks brand new and is in excellent condition inside and out. It was meticulously maintained, blah blah blah. I know I wasn't asking too much -- much less than a local dealer suggested because it seemed inflated accdg to Edmunds prices (which are also inflated) -- and put obo in the ads. And I figured potential buyers would know to negotiate. It was just by chance that I started talking to the owner of a local garage (did the inspection when I transferred the plates) who offered more than a dealer would have -- not as much as I hoped but in the ballpark. Maybe because it's a 5-speed? It seems like no one around here knows how to drive them anymore -- more likely they want their hands free for cell phones.

Craigslist has turned into a joke with most of the asking prices way too high, like higher then dealers prices. And yes, sticks are hard to sell. I have 3 of them and can't imagine an automatic, but I'm in the definite minority.
