Best Way Method to Sell Bonneville Ssei

Post by malatu »

Hi folks.

The day has come to sell my 2002 Ssei. It's my wife's car and she is find the car no longer meets her needs. She transports two grand-kids and wants something more of an suv to drive.

I'm thinking my options are:
1. Trade in
2. Internet such as ebay, cars.com etc
3. Local marketing- newspapers

What do you think is most effective! Unless I'm missed it, this forum doesn't have a "for sale" section.

I hate answering my own posts. I just saw the for sale section.

All of the above are valid options. Although the dealer will always kill you on a trade value. Much better to go private party.

I'd give Craigslist a try.

Try all the free stuff first. Craigslist, signs in local places, ad on here, etc. Figure out what it's worth and try to price it accordingly. Good pictures, recent parts replaced, etc are all good things to have.

You're way better off selling it private party than trading it in. A dealer will give you next to nothing for it...
