    Hi all,

    I'm ready to sell the ICE my Prime replaced, for about $10k
    In the olde days an advert in the local printed newspaper was probably the best generic approach but I'm wondering about 2017. The car is being sold in medium sized city of ~ 1M residents.

    I've published in Craigslist so far.
    Any other suggestions ?

    I think you can list on any of the major car selling sites for a fee.

    I appreciate all the replies -- thanks!

    I'm going to try auto trader (AT) since it appears to be popular and my suspicion is that my car needs financing to appeal to a wider audience. AT has hooks to lenders that people can take advantage of.
