Judy, Sorry to hear you picked an Altima over another 'trep. Really how you choose to sell it depends on how quickly you need/want to get rid of it.
If time is not of the essence....I'd offer the it for sale here first, with a firm price and your location. If you grab a freebie website and post some pictures up, it will help. A good alternative would be to list it on your local craigslist.com site. Again, a firm price, location, pictures all will help. If you're in more of a hurry... when I have a used car to sell I've just shopped it around the used car lots in town. You quickly get a sense for what its wholesale value is worth. They'll cut you a check on the spot, usually. But you might find out that $1000 is the going wholesale rate. I've never bought a vehicle on Ebay. It's not the cheapest way to go for the seller, and I'm not sure you'd really do all that much better than you could with a newspaper ad on a run-of-the-mill used car. It's hard to argue with the visibility this approach has, though, and it will probably go more quickly than it would with a sign in the window. Just be reasonable with where you set the reserve. Good luck! --Geoff On 4/30/06, Judy <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Well, I decided to sell my 1994 Intrepid and I found a 2003 Nissan > Altima that's in great shape and I bought it.
