I've had good luck with AutoTrader and Craigslist. If you list it in the Blade, it will probably show up on cars.com. Definitely set up a throw-away email account to use in the ads. These days, you may want to set up showings at a public location rather than at home. Accept payment and transfer the title at your bank. Good luck with your sale.

Poor people pay interest and the wealthy earn interest. One group has learned how to save and invest while the other group largely does the opposite.

You'll have plenty of time for nice cars after you earn the JD. Best of luck to you.

Well said. Never pay interest. Let other poor schmucks pay interest.
