Where To Sell Car?

My father had five cars in his two garages and seven in his driveway in Phoenix, but when he got too old to drive I put "For Sale" signs in the cars in the driveway at reasonable prices: two POS's for $500 each, two in better condition but close to POS status for $1K, and the other three for $2K each... I sold all seven of those in two weeks. The five in the garages then came out and got cleaned up and avdertised in collector car circles, and they all sold too, over a 6 month period: three 1930 Ford model A's (a Roadster, a 4 door sedan, and a truck), also a 1948 Packard limo, and a 1953 Packard two door hardtop.
The '53 hardtop had the huge 327 cubic inch flat head straight eight engine (about 40" long and 30" high), while it didn't have much horsepower (180 @ 3600 rpm), the 300 ft lbs of torque at 2,000 rpm made it able to keep up with traffic with ease. It also rode like glass- he used it on old car tours all over the western U.S. for years. It had one problem, a leaky master cylinder and booster with a leaky diaphragm that lost vacuum occasionally (he called the brakes the "Push and Prey" variety). The master cylinder was a royal PIA to service because it was under the drivers floor board. I sold it for him for $12K in 2005 (it was immaculate).

I ended up using Give Me The Vin to sell the car. The process could not have been smoother and it was accomplished in one day. And at the selling price I felt was satisfactory. If you use this service don't take their initial "online quote" as the end point. I was originally given a quote that was $3K less than I wanted. I countered, got a call from one of their reps. And a few hours later that car was sold and the $ went into the bank account.
