I am selling a 2006 model truck with very low mileage in the next few weeks. I'm not trading it in because my wife and I are moving to a city with great public transit, and we will be a one-vehicle household for a while.

Carmax offered me about $5k below what I believe is fair market value. Does anyone have experience listing a vehicle online (Craigslist, Facebook, others?), and how was your experience? Any tips?

ETA: I'm willing to accept a low ball offer for convenience, but $5k below FMV is about a 50% discount.

I can vouch for them. Very easy process and gave me more $$$ for my vehicle than Carmax, carvana, etc. Give them a shot and remember everything is negotiable.

Like others have said, what is make / model / price?

Thanks for the help, everyone. It’s a 2006 4wd Toyota Tundra double cab with 160k miles.

When I sold my truck (2013 F-150), I got cash offers from Carvana, Carmax, and Vroom. You can get an 'instant cash offer' from KBB.com, but that one sends notifications to local dealerships, so you'll get phone calls from salesmen that want to appraise your truck. I took my truck to 3 dealerships in 1 afternoon and accepted the highest offer from the 3rd dealership. I signed the title and they cut me a check.

That's the kind of truck people love to buy for their teenager- do you/your wife have social media you can post it on and maybe sell it to a friend of a friend?

This is similar to what I’m looking at for my teen. You should be able to sell it pretty easily.

We're in the market for a used truck. How much are you asking for it?

The truck is in New Orleans. Email LSUtiger.17@yahoo.com if you're interested. Wasn't planning to sell it this way, but I'll give you guys first option

I've sold 10+ vehicles on marketplace. You will get top dollar but you have to deal with some riff raff.
