Tips on selling a used car?
Ktspktsp and I are headed to Iceland for a year in 2 weeks, so I'm trying to sell my used 1999 Ford Escort as quickly as possible. I put it on Craigslist last week for Philadelphia, but haven't had a lot of takers... two people seemed to be the type who buy cars, fix them, and mark up the price to sell them again, and they were pretty rude. One person seems nice enough, but is concerned about the WA license plate.
I'm starting to worry that no one will buy it for what I think it's worth... but I have a problem with honesty, because I can't bear to lie to people about what might be wrong with the car (e.g. it needs front alignment and tires, and a new windshield). I would feel terribly guilty for not being entirely upfront about everything when selling it... but it seems like I need to learn how to lie a little, in order to get rid of it.
Does anyone have any other tips for selling cars? Are there better places to advertise than Craigslist?
