In laws have three cars that need to go and I need suggestions on how to sell them

2000 BMW Z3 convertible with 67k miles. Fair to good cond.

2003 Escalade 250k miles fair condition at best.

1991 F150 single cab 50k on rebuilt Jasper engine. Needs work. Fair cont.

I hate to go the Craigslist route and I'd like to have someone buy all three.

Put this one on the bulletin board at Johnny’s Liquor Store in the Bottom. It’ll move.

Yeah you are not likely to get a taker for all three IMHO.

It's a PITA but set a good price and list as FIRM on FB marketplace. And most importantly list them as is no warranty and be honest about the condition and include plenty of pics. Also list that you do not respond to "is this available" posts but make sure you monitor the post and take it down when sold.

If your price is fair and not emotional you will make a sale.

Yes you will have to weed through the lowballers and trash. But it will be worth your while.

Car max is probably the easiest. Theyll give you a price before you even bring them in.

Do people no longer put for sale signs on vehicles and put them out where they could see them?

When my uncle used to own a gas station, it was on a high way. You could put a vehicle up with a for sale sign on it and that bitch would sale in two days max.

Depends on what your goal is.

If you want to move them with the least trouble possible, call someplace like car max and take their offer.

If you want to maximize the money you get, sell them individually on someplace like the Facebook marketplace.

No one is gonna want all 3 of them.

I've always had good luck with just putting it beside a highway with a sign. I sold a lexus with half a million miles in 12 hours for 2,300. I've never failed to sell them this way and it usually doesn't take long.

People who stop and look usually only call they are truly interested. You don't get all the spam from people scrolling through pages of used cars.
