Default Can I pay somebody to sell my car?

So Ive been trying to sell my Wrangler on Autotrader since February and its a real pain in the ass. Ive had a bunch of calls about it but only one person has come to see it so far, mostly because I keep forgetting or putting off calling people back.

Is there a service out there that will sell your car for you, maybe for a percentage, and does anyone have experience with it?

There are tons of car lots in any city who will sell on consignment. Just gotta work out the commission or flat rate.

And believe it or not, but Craigslist is a better quality audience than AutoTrader.

You mean a BIGGER audience, not better.

Yes, find some local car lots and ask about consignment.

I take it your car was NOT listed on Craigslist.

When I list my vehicles there, I get maybe 1 REAL person vs about 10 services looking to sell my vehicles for me. Which is funny because they always start off with "we HAVE someone who wants to buy your vehicle, we just need all the info on it so we can sell it to them".

Meaning they will find someone to buy your car and they will take their cut. You just need to make sure you can keep the math in your favor when they start throwing numbers around, because they will get what they want percentage wise without caring what you end up with. Kinda like a REAL car salesperson.

Hey, Jeeps are one vehicle that hold on to value like crazy.

I'd say go CL route too, just be prepared for all the spam, and dont tell ppl where you live unless they are seriously interested or meet them somewhere public. But uh, typically if you're trying to sell something it works ALOT better if you contact them back. If you aren't then in essence YOU are the spammer. Don't list it if you aren't prepared to put forth the effort to actually sell it.
