Best place to sell car online, california?
I'm trying to get rid of my 06 Mustang, because my dealer is screwing me on the trade and there is no way i'm going to loose that much money to get a new car. So i need to sell private party, i have it on craigslist already, where else do you suggest putting it for sale that would make it move quick? Thanks.

www.autotrader.com seems to be a good place to find Mustangs.

Personally I think autotrader sucks unless you spend alot for a big color add. Sure you can get an add till it sells, but they dont give you enough room to write much.
I had my old 4runner on Autotrader and Craigslist. Had probably 30 calls from Craigslist and 2 from autotrader.

you get 9 pics and i've typed huge descriptions on autotrader and never hit a limit...??
anyway, it also depends on where you live.. autotrader.com and cars.com is all over tv here and most here have never heard of craigslist.
i've sold my last 3 cars for more than i paid for them originally, even after driving them for over a year. great pics and a nice description can do you very very well on there. most recently sold my 6-speed 02 Trans Am for 20K, 3K over dealer retail

Craigslist!!!
I've sold a car and a motorcycle on Craigslist. Got exactly zero calls from an AutoTrader ad for the car during the 2 plus months it was posted and literally dozens a week from the Craigslist ad. Plus it's FREE!

Put it on a busy corner with a for sale sign on it. That seems to be the best way to sell a car in Chico. When it stops raining put it in the P.V. parking lot on the corner. I bet you will get several calls. good luck Paul ~

assuming that is has about 30k miles and an automatic, 13k is a good trade in price. Honestly I don't think you're going to get more than that selling it yourself. Private party sale is worth about 14.5k but good luck getting more than 13 for it.
I commend you on your desire to trade in your V6 for a real car. But expect to get ripped off selling a car after only 1 year of owning it, the value takes the biggest hit in the first 2 years
