What or where is the best locations to sell a classic car?
Hello everyone,
I would like some advice on where to sell a classic car.
Which cities would pay the most for a classic vehicle?
Im a kid in school, and I need to help someone I really care about sell their car to take care of some financial issues, and instead of trying to advertise it in as many cities as possible, pin point where it would be the most effective to try and sell a vintage car.
Which cities and sites in the U.S or anywhere for that matter would be the best place to advertise a car for sale.
P.S i know about craigslist – but don’t know which cities would be the best place to reach on there. I am going to do as many as i can but i would like to cut down on wasted time.
ebay is more of a last resort because of the huge fees, and not getting what the car is worth.
auto trader, cars.com. classic cars.com, and oodles.com – any sites that get a lot of reputable views that will merit advertising on there especially if it cost to list.
I could use some advice on where online and offline in the real world and the type of individual to try and sell it to.
I want to do everything i can to make sure this person does not get ripped off and i want to help as much as i can. every serious answer is greatly needed, and if you don’t know ask someone else who may.
For everyone that reads this and gives the best advice they can, from the bottom of my heart,
thank you.
It all depends on what kind of car it is, how desirable it is (or how rare) and just because its old, does not make it valuable. The two best places to advertise a vehicle that will reach the maximum amount of coverage are going to be autotrader classics.com which is well known all across the USA and a online magazine called hemmings.com which is actually also an old car magazine that is still available in print called Hemmings Motor news. hemmings.com has a free section with a lot of free links to almost anything car related, and has a world wide following of car lovers. This is ideal for folks in other countries, they will go here when looking for a classic car, and frequently dealers selling classics advertise in hemmings.com and auto trader classics.com at the same time when selling cars.
hemmings has a free last months want ad section you can look at , and there is a lot of links you can go for free, or you can pay for an online magazine and place ads that way, or buy a hard copy subscription and place ads as well. I will also go to http://www.nada.com this has a classics section in the consumer part of nada , that can help give pricing information. I frequently check auto trader classics. nada guide and hemmings want ads when checking prices for vehicles. This is a slow time for any classics and the way to sell one is price it well below what its worth. A lot of really nice cars are selling for a lot less than they normally would be, but thats life. So lets hope your friend is able to sell the car without any trouble. Right now its a buyers market, because the economy is slow, cars are selling, but slowly.and it has to be a really good deal for the money.
Here is an article on how to sell cars, http://www.digi-go.biz/sell-my-car.html where you can submit your car listing and they will send it to many online websites for you for free. So instead of posting cars on each website, they will do that for you without you going to each website. Good luck!
