I posted on both. Autotrader is the biggest but some newspapers link to cars.com.

Be very aware of the leads you get! I had several scam artists try to state " My client is interested in your car and wants to issue one check. When you recieve mine, please wire $ to me as my commision" or something like that. They usually have yahoo addresses. The way I took care of them is to tell them that I need their company name, address, a copy of the proposed contract and their Fed Tax ID number. I even raised the price to one that i decided to have some fun with. They said OK, go figure...
