Online Classifieds

Places you should check out to sell your car

Craigslist - Craigslist has listings of used cars and trucks in your local area as long as you are near a large city. Selling your car on Craigslist is free but make sure you are careful about who you respond to. Not all inquiries are created equal.
EasyAutoSales - EasyAutoSales allows you to list your vehicle for free as well as upload unlimited pictures for each used car you post. You vehicles are also exported to major classifieds such as Vast, Oodle, AOL Autos, Walmart.com and backpage to get you more exposure across various properties on the Internet.
Cars.com - Cars.com is a well known paid classified that allows you to post vehicles on their website. The service does require a fee but they do also supply the listings for Yahoo! Autos.
eBay Motors - eBay Motors is great if you are looking to auction your vehicle. The fee to list a vehicle is $100 but it is currently one the most trafficked destinations for online vehicles.
