One option is to trade it into a car dealership. They will look at the blue book value and the condition your car is in. From there they will give you whatever amount they think is fair. Keep in mind that they will turn around and sell it for more than they paid.

Another option is to sell it yourself. You can look up the value of your car by looking it up in the Kelley Blue Book or by looking at cars for sale of the same make and model as long as they are in comparable shape. You can make or buy a for sale by owner sign with your phone number or e mail address for people to contact you. One option that is gaining popularity is to put it up for auction on an online auction website. The most popular one is Ebay. This can get pretty pricey if you factor in transportation for getting your car from your house to the buyers. Even with that fact there are many people who buy cars on auction sites. It gives them an opportunity to see cars that are far away from where they live. They can see pictures of the inside and outside of the car without even leaving their house. You can also put a description of your car including the shape it is in, how many miles it has, if it has been in any accidents, and you can list any improvements you have made to the car.

Another option is to advertise in a car magazine. People can pick them up for free at gas stations, convenience stores, and grocery stores. There is of course a fee for advertising in the magazines. It also gives you the opportunity to show off pictures of your car and give a description of it.

The fourth option you can take while selling your car is to advertise in local newspapers. This also has a fee. You can again show pictures of your car and describe it to potential buyers.

Option five for selling your car is to advertise it on internet websites. Again, there will be fees for this but you will most likely have better quality pictures of your car than if you were to advertise it in the newspaper.
