Where is the best place to advertise to sell Corvettes?

usraptor

Corvette forum and autotrader on line. Good luck!

autotrader.com and cars.com

Nothing wrong with Corvette Forum...but most buyers here will expect your car to be priced aggressively.

Translation: This website if full of low-ballers and bottom feeders that will troll your for sale ad if they think your car is priced $1 above what they think it should be.

This above translation is pretty accurate (at least for my experience). Most CF-buyers expected the world (perfect interior/exterior) and wanted to pay less than what a dealer pays for a trade-in. I ended up selling on CraigsList for about $1K above trade in value/KBB. CraigsList has it's goofy things as well (low ballers here too, along with all the shipping scams). But I found a few perspective buyers that knew exactly what they were looking for and what a 'fair' price was to buy it.

AutoTrader and Cars.com charge fees, CraigsList is free. I started w/CraigsList and would have moved up to AT and C.Com, if I didn't sell it on CL. My 2-cents.

I had really good responses from Vettefinders and sold my 94 through them about a year ago.

There was just a thread here a few days ago where someone got a 2005 with 10K miles on it for $23,500. People were telling him he paid to much.

When I sold my C5 a couple of years ago, I had the best results using Craigslist.

I've never looked into what costs there are for listing with them, anyone know typical pricing?

I would advertise anywere and everywhere from cars.com, autotrader, here, even the local paper. I wouldn't put it on craigslist though. I have sold a few cars on ebay and had good experiences with that too. I actually purchased my vette off autotrader.

As I have posted previously. I have had great success buying my last two Vette's here on the Corvette Forum. When selling or buying cars like a Vette, patience is a vertue!! I flew 350 miles to purchase one, and 800 miles for the other and both met my expectations .
The NADA book is an excellant tool for the seller and buyer to gain a real life perspective on the value of the car. When buying from a Corvette Forum owner you are talking to a car guy. A person that is usually very knowlegible of Corvettes and knows the kind of care the car has had.

I bought mine from a Chevy dealership which posted on Craigslist.

I like buying from individuals, but I have found it is easy enough to walk away when their pristine car doesn't match my definition of pristine.
I don't make a lowball offer. I just walk away and get back in the car.
Of course a little pissed because the seller wasted my time.

I used cars.com and craigslist.com last year when I sold mine. Both are free listing. It sold through cars.com listing.

CarGurus.com They are free and don't limit the pictures you can put up. They will also help in pricing, Plus a $25 ad in Autotrader. If you want top dollar ,stay away from Corvette only and forum advertising. You will find more Covette hobbyists in those areas who won't pay what the Gen public will.
