Advice on selling a truck?

[Tinytim]

Forgot to mention, only the seller's signature has to be notarized, so you can do that prior to the sale (if to an individual)

Don’t ever do it until you have the money in hand, if the deal falls thru you may have to file for a new title.

Private party will probably get you the most money. Otherwise Carmax is the way to go. I keep a car for around 3 years and sell. The last leased car I sold Carmax I made 7K. It was a Subaru Outback. If nothing else I would bring it by Carmax and get a 7day quote. If nothing else it’ll give you a good Idea of what to expect. I sell all my cars to Carmax. I went to a dealer once because they guaranteed me the best price for my car. Once I told them I was going to take my car to Carmax after them they told me nobody would beat a deal I got from Carmax. They don’t usually even sell older cars at Carmax, they sell them to dealers at auction. Also Carmax are Guru’s when it comes to volume buying and selling.

We've had pretty decent luck with Carmax offers and have used those offers to negotiate with other dealers if needed.

I agree with Tinytim. If you notarize the title first and don’t sell within 30 days you’ll have to file for a new one.

Carmax is fantastic for lower mileage late model vehicles. But something like this is where they struggle. They’ll give you a lowball price because they’re just taking it to auction and want to ensure they get their money’s worth.

I buy entirely too many cars. And the way I’d look at this if I was in the market would be that it’s below “fair” condition but is still a good truck. The trade value of a fair condition truck is where I’d be willing to buy. Pricing it at the lower end of private sale retail and being willing to work down would probably let you sell it pretty quick.

I’ve been burnt by someone not changing the title. So now we meet at a tag agency and that’s taken care of at the time of sale. You keep the plate now, so that even helps them since they’d have to drive without until they made it there anyway.

How much did Carmax give you for it? I've just started looking for a farm truck because I think it's crazy to pay $10K for an ATV.
