Hi all, Was wondering if anyone ever bought or sold a used Toyota on Ebay or Autotrader before and if you had any specific advice? For example, is Autotrader a good place to sell? (saw some mixed reviews of it online but they were not recent). More and more I'm thinking about simplying my life and selling my '89 Toyota Corolla SR5. It's in near-perfect shape and has tons of new parts, and if I sell it I'd like it to go to a good reliable home (and get a good price for it too, realizing that I can't recover the cost of all the maintenance I've recently put into it). Where's my best bet for finding someone who really wants the car and will appreciate it? I'm tempted to do Ebay but since it's mostly distant buyers, I can't show and prove to someone that the car runs, drives, and rides perfectly.
On the other hand, if I sell locally, I'm afraid that potential buyers will think "hey, cheap car in perfect condition, I'll take it," and then will abuse it after buying it because it was cheap.
Dunno if you get sentimentally attached to your cars too, but whenever my family's had to get rid of an old car, it was always like saying goodbye to an old friend :(
Take care, John
