Can I pay somebody to sell my car?
So Ive been trying to sell my Wrangler on Autotrader since February and its a real pain in the ass. Ive had a bunch of calls about it but only one person has come to see it so far, mostly because I keep forgetting or putting off calling people back.
Is there a service out there that will sell your car for you, maybe for a percentage, and does anyone have experience with it?

There are tons of car lots in any city who will sell on consignment. Just gotta work out the commission or flat rate.
And believe it or not, but Craigslist is a better quality audience than AutoTrader. |

Yes, find some local car lots and ask about consignment.

Your completely fucking crazy, im convinced.
Autotrader is for selling vehicles. Dealers use it. Individuals use it. Its a service that directly deals with a single entity, vehicles. Theres nothing redneck about it. Craigslist is the main place where rednecks go to sell their unwanted, dirty, run down shit to other rednecks.

When Craigslist first came out, only hipsters used it. Flash forward a few years, and now you're saying it's been magically transformed into a redneck site? That doesn't make sense. AutoTrader used to be a paper tabloid sitting in fucking gas stations for the last 50-60 years probably. That's how redneck it was. Now they have a website of course, but it's slow and the search function sucks IMO. |

I would never go to Craiglist to look for a late model car. Most of those people selling on there don't seem to take care of their cars, hence using a free site to do so. The people on autotrader seem to have a better attachment to their vehicles.
Besides you get sick of looking for a car on craigslist and finding chevy,olds,honda,subaru,accord,blue,black etcetcetc in every post...It gets fucking old.

I take it your car was NOT listed on Craigslist.
When I list my vehicles there, I get maybe 1 REAL person vs about 10 services looking to sell my vehicles for me. Which is funny because they always start off with "we HAVE someone who wants to buy your vehicle, we just need all the info on it so we can sell it to them". Meaning they will find someone to buy your car and they will take their cut. You just need to make sure you can keep the math in your favor when they start throwing numbers around, because they will get what they want percentage wise without caring what you end up with. Kinda like a REAL car salesperson. |
