Depends. I know eBay takes a sizable chunk out for automobiles but you will have the easiest time getting rid of it. Craigslist might work depending on the car (I have a friend that buys and sells Honda's, those and other imports do well). Don't know anything about Autotrader.

What sort of car? How much do you expect to get for it? If it's less than 5 thousand dollars, Craigslist is a great tool, especially if you have the patience to wait a few days while people come and look at it. If its worth much more though, most people interested won't be looking on Craigslist and a newspaper might be a better bet.

As long as it's not cost prohibitive, why not try 'em all?

thanks for the feedback guys.

its a 1998 buick regal gs. v6 supercharged engine, leather interior, 105k miles, good condition, no accidents. bluebook put the value in the 4 to 5k range depending on condition. i guess i'll probably try all of them if i can. i just wanted to make sure i wasnt missing some magical car selling site or to see if i should avoid one. we arent in a huge rush to sell the car so that helps.

Sounds like a cool little car. 5k is just at the edge of Craigslist worthy.

yeah. great show. i watched the first 5 episodes in one sitting last sunday... in a row. thats why i posed morena baccarin (brody's wife) in the cathouse thread. pretty cool seeing all the scenes from charlotte. so far ive seen freedom park, thomas st tavern, the weston hotel, southpark and a few other recognizable spots. one of my friends recently ran into claire danes in charlotte as well. and i saw them filming 2 weeks ago near marshall park. cool.

i havent watching the one from tonight yet, no spoilers.

and walking dead was also really good tonight. it took a while for season two to get going, but nows its getting really good.

My Sunday Nights consist of Once Upon A Time (8), Walking Dead (9), Hell on Wheels (10).

Not complaining

Post #253 » by **fatlever** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 5:00 pm

how is hell on wheels?

SWedd523 · Post #254 » by **SWedd523** » Mon Nov 14, 2011 5:06 pm

I think it's a pretty good show. Hard to understand exactly what the premise is, though.

It's hard for me to not like maritime or gun-ny shows/movies shows, so I guess I'm a bit biased

Jax is the man! This is probably what cancer sounds like though.

this kind of stuff makes sense to me, it still has a groove and a melody and its clever. i guess im just old school like that.
