BaT, eBay, or Aurotrader? Experience with one?
Since the time is upon me to list my vehicle, I am thinking I want to get it out there publicly, outside of Craigslist. So, from the above, what do you suggest? Any experience selling a car on any of them? Pros/Cons? Thanks in advance everyone!

For your car, BaT is 100% the way to go. Ask them what you can do to maximize value and they usually have really good advise. Stock wheels, no issues, and getting the little dings and chips fixed usually drive higher values.

I look at BAT everyday, and that site will certainly get your vehicle the most exposure (they only have about 50 live auctions at a time). I also habitually check eBay and Autotrader. In my search for my 996 I actually found it on Autotrader. On those sites I typically set the search to "distance nearest first" so that examples closest to me pop up first, and if I am super interested they are typically within driving distance and i can go take a look... I widen my search out from there. I've never used Ebay to sell a car, but I did sell a few dirt bikes on there. Super easy to list and chat with users, money transfers via PayPal and you just make the buyer pay fees. A cash option may be sorted out too, I believe, but don't quote me. I'd list on all 3, craigslist is free, BAT is 100, Ebay takes a minimal percentage, and autotrader has a small fee as well. Money well spent for exposure IMO. Especially for a guards red cab

If you wait till spring, BAT would be the way to go for your car. Convertible RED C2 is the toy car. Post couple of pictures from Rennrun, and I am sure guys would vouch for the condition of the car as well.

At this point my dad is in the process of moving so once he is done, we will be discussing when he wants to off load the Supra. So at this very moment, the rush is not there, but I imagine over the next couple of weeks I will find out more. I could possibly wait for spring, we will see. I will keep you guys posted! And is anyone planning another Rennrun???

I didn’t realize they had a free option. I just listed it.

Bring a trailer would be good, you can set your reserve to a price you are comfortable with, that way if it meets reserve you are guaranteed at least that, if it doesn't meet it then it doesn't sell, just out the $100 to list it.

BaT is a niche car site so it's going to have less traffic. On the other hand, if you fall in their niche, you can get retail value for your car in a short time frame.

When I sold my 997 I used AutoTrader, GarGurus, and Craigslist.
I got a ton of inquire - especially from Germany - on AT.... but ultimately it was Craigslist that sold it.
