I've sold 2 cars on Craigslist. Both sold to buyers who called on day 1. Depends on if you price the car right or not for a quick sale.



Did you have any super sketchy experiences with other "buyers" in the process?

No. A couple of lame calls, but nothing sketchy.

It's going to take a while. Most banks won't loan for a 11 year old vehicle so it's going to be a cash buyer.

I ran into this issue trying to sell a 7 yr old 4-runner in the $15,000 range.

I've sold all my vehicles in about a week but I list them around fair value on kbb when they are closer to good. As someone else stated, you may have more trouble with someone getting financed on it.

Easily amused?

Ah, hadn't thought about this at all. That could be an issue.

UPDATE: Sold my Jeep today. I had it listed only on Craigslist for 10 days. Settled for $14,000 with the 2nd person that called me about it, and it's been a smooth process so far.

Thanks to everyone for the words of wisdom, advice, and past experience.
