Default best avenue for selling '05 SRT6 convert

Looking to sell our black 05 SRT 6 convertible this spring. It has 10,450 miles on it. One very small scratch on door.
If you were selling what would be all the avenues one may take to reach the biggest audience.
I will post pics here when the weather clears up and I can get spring oil change and washed and detailed out. Not sure if many people on this site are looking to buy but they may have a friend that is looking, I guess one just never knows.
thanks

Autotrader, Ebay motors (if you have some history on Ebay) and the private sales area here.

I'd definately post on here. Members on here are good about spreading the word and often people come on here looking for an XFire or for advice on purchasing one. Lot's of other avenues and since it's an SRT6 and a roadster -- I'd expect there will be interest. I'm sure you'll get comments from the owners of Black XFires too -- about it being the best color......etc.

Good luck. Not sure how bad the scratch is but you may want to consider getting it taken care of.

Thanks for all the advice guys. The scratch is probably about 3/4" long. It may be able to be rubbed out. The detailer stated he just needed to look at it.
Price I would like to get is $19,000. That seems to be in the range for the mileage on it. Like I stated if someone is really interested I will post some pics when I get it cleaned up. We are getting small snow showers a few days a week which make it hard to get out.

thanks again
randy

I have never sold anything on ebay so I have no history. Only as a buyer which is 100%.

Seems like the cars on ebay sell on the "low side"

to get $19K, you need to fix the scratch and get it detailed before photos and listing it, whether on here, or anywhere for that matter. With the low miles, and the above, you should get your price. I will not do business with ebay any longer...try the 'auto trader'. I bought my coupe on there.

Ebay is a great tool to bring attention to a car. ALTHOUGH....most vehicles listed on Ebay sell after the auction expires....this is when the negotiating begins. Don't forget there are Ebay fees when you do sell something.

I got 18k for mine with almost identical mileage. I didn't list on ebay or autotrader. I put it on craigslist and a few bites but nothing serious. A member on here referred someone to buy it but couldn't sell his car before I sold it. I got lots of simultaneous offers when I dropped it off at a local Independent Mercedes Benz repair shop to have the car completely looked over before I sold. Once there I got 4 people interested just from being parked there. MB owners have never seen these cars and love them. You'll get 19k, just have to be patient and ready. Oh forgot to mention mine was a coupe!!!!

Yeah, Vegas right? Seen that one on craigslist for a while.

I'm considering selling my coupe with 16k miles on it, but I'd be hoping for an out of state buyer.

I'm pessimistic about the buyers in Vegas. We have one of the highest, if not the highest unemployment rate. I know someone having a rough time has buying a crossfire dead last on their list, but it still takes from the potential to sell it.

difference in price is that RDWOODPECKER is selling a roadster. They only made a little over 900 of these.
