Trying to dump our testicle crushing Prius that my wife drove around the dirty south for work since moving back to MN.

What have you found works best to move vehicles nowadays? In the past we typically traded in or drove garbage that wasn't much of a challenge to offload. I've got it on Craigslist and CarSoup currently, but there's gotta be other stuff I'm not thinking of.

If anyone happens to know anybody looking for one, I'll put $200 cash into your pocket upon a successful sale.

Well 1st off, welcome back.

Those 2 are the best.

I'm not sure what the price tag is, but on FB there is a sell page for vehicles of $5k or less that you may want to try. Also look for a swap and shop on FB in the community or county where you are now living,

Years ago Auto Trader was the boss. The last I sold on it was 10 years ago, in the past I always had good luck there. You have to pay to be listed. But I doubt there is much traffic with them with the advent of free CL and FB these last 5 - 8 years.

While the craigslist experience sucks, it's been the most effective method I've used to recover value out of a used vehicle.

Down here in the SW corner of the state, the Hy-Vee Trader is a great way to sell a vehicle ot anything for that matter, great circulation and is available online as well, Craigslist is OK but heard some many scam deals on there.....

I agree with SH Nelson. Craigslist bites, but the people that actually show up have generally come ready to buy. Been awhile as I've just done trades the last couple times, on the road too much to baby sit the deal.

The other one that's worked for household is if know anyone at big companies like Gen Mills. They have intranet classifieds.

9Man- you ever sell anything on radio Swapline? Father in law does a ton on that.

Never done the swap-line, in Marshall they have the Flea Market radio show, I remember when it lasted like 20 minutes with people calling , now it lasts maybe 5 min at most........
