What is the best way to sell my 03 CL-S?
My 2003 CL-S is the first car that I have owned in a while (I leased 3 before that). Now I am thinking about selling it. Can anyone tell me what they think is the best way to sell a used car? All I really know about is the newspaper or magazines like Auto Trader. Is there something better out there?
Thanks, Chris

Ebay, local paper, Auto trader, Craig's list, Here in the black market section, or parked on the side of a road with a for sale sign.
Is it paid for? You need to find out what you owe. Since a mid mile CLS is going for around $15K now.(6mt slightly more only to those who are looking for them) You may be better keeping it.

When I was looking to sell mine, I had to make the price the deciding factor. Yeah, I had it low, but it sold within 2 weeks, with the buyer contacting me that day I posted it on sale. I only posted it on black market here. I also heard that carmax buys cars for decent $, but they are not located local to me.
When I went to look for a 6 speed anything, the closest car I found pricewise to the CL was a 2003 Civic with no leather or anything. Those cars hold value unlike ours. Maybe you would consider what fuzzy said and keep it. just becasue the value drops, doesn't make the car worth less than it is functionaly.

Ron hit it right on the head... The best way to sell a CL is to price it right... You can check Kbb.com, Nada.com and edmunds for pricing info. An 03 w/ average miles (12.5K per year) is probably worth around 15K now.
Fuzzy mentioned most of the usual places to advertise...
Even tho' I'm itchy for a new car after having my CL for over 4 years, I'm thinking that I'm probably better off keep it, and maybe buying a cheap toy for the weekends.
I'd have to come up with at least 12K out of pocket (for a new Mustang) to 20K (for a new G35c) for anything that would I'd consider to be an upgrade from the CL.
