Gulp!!! Best way to sell a mustang??

[SCOTTLT79]

Hey guys and gals,

I hate to ever have to post this thread but the time will soon be upon me to have to part ways with my mustang. I live in New England and I love to ski so the mustang just isn't fitting into my lifestyle anymore. I'm sure you can all imagine how difficult this is on me so please be gentle. I'm sure you will all like to know that I am staying in the Ford family though. I will be looking for a '99 to '00 F-150 come time to sell the stang.

I am just wondering what you guys think the best way to go about selling my baby would be. Has anyone had experience with Ebay for cars? I've found a few very nice F-150s on there so I was thinking about posting my car there. Newspapers? Want Ads? I don't want to go to a dealer so they can screw me and then screw whoever they sell it to also so I want to stay away from that.

What do you think?

Sadly posting,
Scott

Hey Scott,

Hate to see you sell your mustang, but it sounds like you have good reasons. I would use Ebay as a last resort as I think you don't get good value for your car. It will sell, just not for what you want out of it.

I have had good luck using newspaper ads whenever I was buying or selling a vehicle. Also check out www.traderonline.com for selling it. I found my current mustang there.

Good luck selling it and I hope you get what you want out of it!

If your going to use ebay, just use a reserve, you don't want it to sell for 100 bucks!

I was think of selling my mustang on ebay, seems with exchange right now, I would get way more there than I could get locally.

i would use ebay as a last resort their fees are going to be alot more than your local autotrader mag i found my car there and it is where i look anytime i wish to purchase a vehicle i also have sold through the autotrader and i belive it was $36.00 for an add that ran until you called them and told them it sold i belive the stick it on their website also as a courtesy but id ask them as i am unsure of that then if you have no luck there you could use ebay as your last resort just make yourself aware of the fees before hand and beware of sport bidders as you will often have to payfor running you auction even though your high bidder decided to walk from the deal (with auto sales on ebay i believe it is very easy to walk on the deal heck ive had people walk on me over $20.00 items) either way good luck

Hey Scott, how much you asking for the car? I'm at the other end of the state, I might be able to find someone out here that wants it. PM if you want to talk business.

Well, when I put mine up for sale I went to a dealer close to home http://autobuyline.com/carpage.cfm?id=684084
And well I soon learned that if you dont stay on top of them they will get things wrong!! Ex my car is Silver smoke grey- not arcadian blue, I dont and never have had power steering, Although a link was provided to my car here on MW ( where all the facts on my car an history are provided) it seems they overlooked it. Oh and .... just before I droped her off I installed a new headliner, carpet kit,re-covered the drivers seat( using a shop thet they recomended) , and re-cromed the bumper. Not to mention fresh undercoating and trunk mat ect. I also gave them some very high quality pics but they chose to use the fuzzy pictures that they took oh well.
Hell I cant even get a return email from them!!
Now it may be just my piss-***** luck but.... At least my car made it into their TV commercial and a Christmas special news coverage by the chanel 4 news team.
