Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
We are a three car family with only two drivers. In the past we've lent our spare car to DD for use in the winter, but now that we're going to start snowbirding and moving our primary residence to FL we've decided to get rid of one. We also are people who drive a car until it's ready to be compacted, so we haven't sold or traded in a car with any value in quite a while. And we don't want another car right now, so trading it in is off the table.
My question is, what is the best way to deal with the car? We took it into CarMax today and got a price on it that is pretty close to the KBB trade in value ($15K). I suspect if we sold it ourselves we would be looking at an extra $2-3K. But the last time I sold a car was in the '70s, and I listed it in the Washington Post. I guess now you list it on Craigslist?
Is it worth it? I don't particularly like wheeling and dealing. Since we're FIREd we're available to show it and such. I'm just not sure the additional money is worth the hassle of worrying about fraud or hustlers.
Any suggestions or descriptions of the process y'all have done or would prefer? Thanks.
