Question Almost there!!!

...Okay guys...money in the bank, but I need to sell my Volvo before I order my new GS.

I have placed it on craigslist, and put for sale signs in it, and just today put it out on autotrader.

Do you guys have any other suggestions to sell my Volvo?

It's a 2011 Volvo C30 R-Design loaded with everything except Nav and Blind Spot Monitor. I have it priced below book value and am including the additional $3000 in options I purchased when I bought the car. I feel like it's kind of "nitch" vehicle and perhaps that's why she's not selling.

Fingers crossed guys!

Autotrader is the best way to go but try to get it premium listed to sell faster. Do offer to have it checked by reputable mechanics to have the results given to new potential owners so they are comfortable with buying the car. The one I use is:

Co-sign on Carmax. They gave me the best deal. Better than trade in value, plus you dont have the headache of lowballers calling you from the ads.

It's too new to trade in. I need to get close to retail to get out of the loan.

Talking Settled on Color!!!!

So, yesterday my wife and I went to our local Lexus dealer and I finally test drove the new GS. It was like driving a dream on top of fluffy clouds..."SOLD"!!!! LOL! I also found out that I really like the Gray! So, as soon as this Volvo is gone, I will be placing my order for gray with black interior and Espresso Linear wood. I'm so excited I can barley hold my excitement.

BTW...does anyone know when the Hybrid comes out and how much more the markup is on that?
