Best Way to Sell a Used Car

What's the best way to sell a used car. We just brought a new minivan and now I want to sell our old suv. Is Craig's list the best place?

FB groups, Newspapers, Ebay, Craigslist

Also ask your mechanic. That's how I sold my old car.

How do you handle money? I just saw Suffolk country has Craig lost safe zones in yaphank and riverhead which is awesome. Do you accept cash only or is it ok to take a money order?

This is what we did. They gave us a cash deposit and then a certified check from the bank for the rest.

CarMax? LOL I just took it there and got rid of my car. I loved my car but didn't want to deal with the mess of selling a car. Plus I had to wait for my NYS title (Nightmare). It was clean and easy.

Considering how many fake checks and money orders are out there, I don't think I'd accept one of those as readily.

If the $$ is small enough, cash (like under 5-10K)

if you are doing a certified check, you want to meet at the bank the check is issued at to confirm you're actually getting a real check. have them issue in front of you.
