When I sold my M5, I had listed it on a few BMW forums. It was sold in a few days.

It might take a little longer to sell the S-class, but car forums are a great place to list your car for free.

Carmax is a great place to sell your car if you're looking to get 60% of value.

Ive sold a ton of cars and bikes online. I always post on craigslist. Ill post in my city and any big city in the state. So houston, dallas, austin, san antonio. Also your wording can get someone really interested really fast. I have my way of wording it where they will at least click on the link. Ive sold bikes and cars in under 24hours of posting. Also forums seem to be a good place to sell but they never really worked for me. Just car and bike parts were easy to sell on forums. good luck.

p.s. Dont sell your car to carmax they wont give you anything for it. Whats the price your asking?

Judging by the neighborhood houses in the background, I'd throw a for sale sign on her, and watch the foot traffic bring in the dollars. GL!!

Omg can't believe you had two of the same cars and color for that long. Definitely time to sell one of them.

If the private sale is taking too long and the other state is close enough, Drive to the other state and trade the car in. Negotiate as tough as you can, and play up the fact that you traveled a long way to try to make a deal.

Thank you all for replies

I have so far listed on ebay item # 181985773249

yes, two of the same color, model etc cars,

If it would not be for a growing family and need for something bigger (7 seats) I would never consider selling

These two babies are second love of my life
