I immensely regret selling my last car, Zippy, in a hurry. I miss Zippy.

Thanks, Snowy. I'll check out the local paper again tomorrow. I definitely haven't sold it to the first person who offered... have gotten about 5 offers by now, but no one wants to buy it at the price I've put forth. So I don't have too much choice, especially because we are leaving the country on Feb 28th.
I would hate to sell my car in a hurry (I've always liked it very much), but I'm afraid that's my only option at this point. It's been on the "market" for about 10 days now without much progress... I need to slash my prices to get it off my hands pronto.

EDIT: Damn thing automerged my update, which is from today at 10:55 AM...
Well folks, looks like I got an offer at $1900, not bad I guess. Still a few hundred less than I'd like, but that's the way it goes.
My next question is: If I sell a car (assuming a cash transaction), do I just have to sign the title, write the amount of sale, and pass it to the new owner? Is there anything else I have to do, after sending the report of sale to the licensing state (WA, in my case)?
I've heard there are less taxes if you give the car as a "gift" (even if someone is paying you), but I don't know how that works. Any thoughts?
