Jennifer asked for alternative sites to Facebook Marketplace for selling a used car. The hosts suggested that while Facebook Marketplace can be a hassle, it's often the best option for lower-value vehicles. For nicer cars, AutoTrader was recommended for a more serious buyer pool. They also highlighted the convenience of online buyers like Carvana and CarMax, which offer quick quotes but may yield slightly less than selling privately, emphasizing that the best method depends on the seller's willingness to handle the hassle for potentially higher returns.
“I did sell it on Facebook Marketplace. And it was a frustrating experience. It was not fun fielding all sorts of idiot comments and responses and no-shows.”
“If you want to find buyers who are actually responsive, I think auto trader is probably the best place to land.”
“Carvana was actually the best quote that he received. And so they're like, oh my gosh. It's the best quote. And on top of that, they're making it super easy.”
