I’ve been suggested Carvana, and I may end up going that way if it is indeed the simplest route.

I’m driving an older car, it’s in many ways in very good condition, but the head gasket is starting to go. It hasn’t gotten bad yet (no coolant in the oil… yet) and could be fixed, but the cost to fix is about three times the value of the vehicle. It’s got relatively low mileage for it’s age and I’ve barely driven it anywhere during the time that I’ve owned it.

I don’t expect to get much for it, maybe a $400-$700 bucks, but I really don’t know the best way to go around it.

Like 15 years ago I would have just listed it with pertinent info on condition and photos on Craigslist. I’m not so sure Craigslist is so viable now.

Thanks for any help you can give me, Lemmy!

    I’ll disagree here and suggest a car dealer if you’re buying a new car. While they generally are the worst deal, they also seem to have a floor. For a car with little to no value, I’ve always gotten $2k, even if no one else would give me that. Of course buyer beware and all that, you may be losing that $2k somewhere else in the negotiation

      Valuable input, but sadly I am not buying a new car. Hoofin it on the bus from here on out. Thanks for the consideration, though!
