Question Need Help: Husband recently disabled Must Sell

Can anyone help me out with a huge dilemma? My husband was recently placed on disability and we now MUST sell our 2005 SLK 55 AMG. Is there a place on this site where I can list it? I have to get it sold ASAP. The car is located in Northern VA. Thanks

Sorry to hear about your situation. But, if time is of the essence, take it to your local dealer. They'll be more than happy to purchase it from you. Or, try ebay. If you have a Carmax near you, try there too.

A listing here is not gonna sell fast. You're gonna get a lot of internet tire kickers and 10 posts telling you that you're asking too much. I've rarely seen a car sell here for more than wholesale.

Good luck with your sale.
