Sold my Boxster in 4 hours with several buyers willing to drive 50 miles and begging for it. Simple text ad on Craigslist. Asking price.

Sold two other cars that way within a day of ad posting each.

Right car, right maintenance history, priced right. Somewhere in the middle.

I've gotten a stack of cash for my Porsche from a guy from Michigan who happened to be 50 miles away, a bank check for my wife's Acura from a lady who lived 50 miles away , a bank check for a Prius v from a guy from New Hampshire who would pass from here on his trip to the beach.

I live in a small town 50 miles south of Raleigh in NC which I figured would discourage people but it didn't. First looker bought each time..

I didn't need to sell so I figured I'd try to sell that way. Why give the dealer the profit.
