    The last few vehicles I have sold have been word of mouth, but that was lucky and outside of the norm. I used to use Craigslist a bunch, but that seems to be completely dead anymore..

    Where is the best place to list a vehicle these days? Facebook seems to be a sea of weirdos, bots, scammers, etc. Listed a vehicle there once and it was a terrible experience...

    Looking to avoid trading in my 2022 at all costs. Its Stock, but regeared by sibi.

    FB marketplace is probably your best bet. And don't forget to post it on here in your local BST thread. FB marketplace can definitely be annoying, but there are still good folks looking for vehicles on there. You just need to be patient.

    Yeah, it's hard to understand people nowadays with posts that are written in the same manner as a child's texts.

    Used to sell many vehicles on Craigslist, but as you mentioned it's a dying breed.

    Facebook marketplace is pretty good, but I'd suggest that for your typical $5k-30k vehicle.

    Then there's selling it outright to either a dealer or carmax; you're not obligated to buy from a dealer as they're all independently owned and operated and could benefit from adding a vehicle to their used car lot without the hassle of an auction purchase and transport.

    Last vehicle I sold to carmax was a few years ago; a 2009 Corvette Z51 LT3 for $20k with 63k miles.

    Left it with them to do their thing, grabbed lunch, came back and they had their offer.

    Got a check within the hour after that.

    2022 DCSB 4WD, TRD off road trim. White ext, Black Int., 11k miles. All Stock except for the Katzkin leather, 4.88 REM polished gears by Sibibuilt, ECGS bushings done and CMC done on both sides, also just recently done by Sibibuilt. 9.5/10 condition

    I have no idea where to price it, it's all over the place with these. I agree with Kiwkvette, FB marketplace seems to best at a lower price point, where a lot of buyers pay cash.

    A lot of people want a CMC, but personally I’d never touch one that has had the frame chopped up.

    Check Carmax and other instant quote online places to calibrate and then try listing on here in the correct forum, Craigslist, and Facebook Marketplace. It’s nothing special enough to try and list on something like Expedition Portal or Cars and Bids.

    CarGurus has worked for me, sold the last 4 all within a matter of days/weeks. Just effective description, lots of pictures, and a price that is fair. I'd imagine you should be in the mid to upper $30's depending on how your modifications are received.
