Hi All,
Well its come time to sell the TL-S, as I need an AWD car. I bought it new, it has 124K miles, and has been religously maintained, and I mean nothing was ignored, including all maintenance services, timing belt, engine mounts, axles etc etc. I have all records since new, and Carfax shows all services as well. Just put 4 new tires on and rear brakes as well. Everything on the car works as it should, and I would drive this car anywhere. Normal wear and tear is evident, ie front driver seat shows wear, steering wheel etc, but no rips or tears anywhere.

What is the best way to sell the car - dealer trade in was ridiculous.

Any advice/help would be most appreciated.

Thanks for the help.

You could put it up for sale here. The "black market" is the sales board. Where are you located?

freaking dealer be like "we offer you $3k and its the highest offer here in town" then the turn around and sell it for $14k.

dealer trade in a ripoff because dealers are in business to make money

Totally understand that but they also making money by selling and servicing your new or CPO car.

OP - how much did the dealership offer for your car?

I posted my car on the black market here; i also posted my car for sale on cars.com, craigslist... its like i opened a floodgate of scammers.

Thanks for the help and guidance. The dealership offered me $7.5K....so no deal there, as my car is super clean.

Will take some good pics and pot it up here for sale over the weekend.

your car will sell in 30 days on your own if it is what you say it is and the price is right

I just sold mine on Facebook Marketplace surprisingly. Worked great and had a couple serious inquiries. I also posted it here, cars.com (Cars.com charged me $50) and Craigslist. I was surprised that Cars.com was a joke. Didn't get a single inquiry from them. The only thing nice about that arrangement was it also provided me the Carfax which I provided to all potential buyers as well. I didn't get a single inquiry from the black market here either.

Craigslist was good but you get a lot of scammers wanting to sell you other useless stuff. I did get a serious inquiry from craigslist as a backup, but ultimately Facebook marketplace was the one that sold it. I was really shocked by that because I was significantly higher priced than all the other 3G TL's (mine was a TL-S) on the marketplace, but it worked.

Dealer offered me trade in of $6k, ultimately sold it for $11,250. Good luck.
