I’ve been suggested Carvana, and I may end up going that way if it is indeed the simplest route.
I’m driving an older car, it’s in many ways in very good condition, but the head gasket is starting to go. It hasn’t gotten bad yet (no coolant in the oil… yet) and could be fixed, but the cost to fix is about three times the value of the vehicle. It’s got relatively low mileage for it’s age and I’ve barely driven it anywhere during the time that I’ve owned it.
I don’t expect to get much for it, maybe a $400-$700 bucks, but I really don’t know the best way to go around it.
Like 15 years ago I would have just listed it with pertinent info on condition and photos on Craigslist. I’m not so sure Craigslist is so viable now.
Thanks for any help you can give me, Lemmy!
What make and model? If it’s a Honda or Toyota you will have better luck selling. Carvana probably won’t buy your car. Craigslist or FB might be your best options. Just be transparent about what needs to be fixed and highlight the positives like low mileage, any other preventative maintenance you may have done or will do (e.g. cheap things like new oil, air filters, belts and plugs if you have tools) Maybe you could even put a For Sale sign on it.
You might try some head gasket fix like seafoam, but that’ll be on your conscience for the next buyer.
Good luck!
