Default How to sell Mom's car

Hi, my mom is 86 and she's chosen to stop driving. So that leaves her car to sell. Should I just put an ad in the Daily Sun? Thanks in advance!

If you don't want to deal with listing it, showing it, negotiating, etc., take it to Carmax. They wont pay you top dollar but its a very easy hassle free process.

yes, that's a good idea too. Isn't there one in Ocala? I sold a car to Carmax in Orlando about 10 years ago. It was a painless transaction.

We look on here everyday for a Villages car. We want to sell our Honda, it is a five speed, when we find our retirement car. Please feel free to p.m. me with your information. Thanks.

You might consider listing it on Craigslist.

Just post it here it will go.
Craigslist advertising is asking for undesirables to show up

what a great response! It is a 2004 Hyundai Sonata, gold in color with about 40,000 miles on it. It has power driver's seat, a cd player, a cassette player and a sun roof. I am driving it now and I got it washed. Then it rained!
