How do I sell these effing vehicles?

Asked by susanc (16139points) February 24th, 2009

I have to sell two older cars, a big motorcycle and a little motorcycle. I keep thinking I can figure it out, but I can’t. I don’t want to negotiate with buyers; I don’t want to learn how to do this; I want someone else to do it. Who do I call? I don’t care if I don’t make much on them. They need to go away.

Hey Susan!

Call CarMax and see if they’ll buy your car. They normally do.

If you don’t care about getting money for them, call your KUOW or any charity you support. A lot of them do pick up programs now, where they take it off your hands and sell it at auction. You get a deduction.

What are you selling? Just curious.

I second CarMax.

@kevbo: 1979 (!) Mercedes 240D, very beautiful lines & color (“palomino”), retrofitted to run on anything, including fryer oil, except regular gasoline. Essentially, with a little effort you can run the car without paying for fuel indefinitely.
1985 Merc. something else-D, neat and clean, low mileage considering its age.
Big black loaded Honda Goldwing touring bike.
Little cute Honda trail bike.

I’m going to try CarMax. Never heard of it before. THANK YOU.

@susanc Another alternative, especially if you aren’t worried about getting money, is to consider donating the vehicles for a tax write off.

Many charities accept them.

I sold an old caddie on ebay once. Pretty trouble free, just make sure you say “as-is” and take pictures of everything.
