    Thanks for all the input and advice. So far I had one response and the guy offered me 23k…No thanks. I think I'm going to ride it out and see if I can manage keeping it.

    You cannot use the excellent category for a used vehicle regardless of how excellent you may think it is. That is reserved basically for brand new vehicles on the lot (3% of cars). It should be in the very good section if there is nothing wrong with the vehicle. You should price it between very good PP and around dealer trade in because that is all you will realistically get anyway.

    you can normally read craigslist people right from a phone call. Which is why texting is ok when asking or answering questions, but for a serious deal or transaction you need to actually call.

    I tried selling my 2013 but gave up, couldnt take the lose and wasnt that desperate to sell..

    I actually had a ton of interest through ebay.

    Be prepared for lots of really low ball offers, but dont be offended its just people looking for a deal .

    G.luck with the sale.

    You could try Carmax sometimes they make higher than expected offers. I have used Craigslist many many times.
    Make sure you print two bill of sales one for each of you.
    Ideally I would not take $25k in cash instead I would setup a meeting for the test drive and would make sure they are ready to go to their bank after to get a cashiers check to finalize purchases.

    If you have a loan you'll need to setup with your bank to work on a lien release. Email them for a copy of the title emailed to you, most buyers will be getting a loan. They will need these things.

    Don't be afraid to sell on CL just be smart and patient. I've always had success 2-3 days after I posted. Email is fine just make sure they send a #.
    Good luck PM if you need some more help.
