Time to sell questions
Where is the best place to determine a value and where to advertise? Thanks

When I sold my 5er I googled my model and year and looked at prices nationally for similar units. And prices were all over the place from fairly low to insanely high. And, of course, those were asking prices, not necessarily actual sale prices. So don’t look at the highs and think “WOW, I can get that much?”
I looked at nada.com for my year and model. That value for average retail was somewhere in the middle of those googled prices. Listed it on Facebook Marketplace. Free and easy. I limited the ad to something like a 50-75 mile radius making it easy for potential buyers to see it. And easy to meet them at a branch of their bank to get a bank issued check for the full amount eliminating any question about a valid payment. Ended up confirming the sale in 2 days to first inquirer. And had over 20 more seemingly serious inquiries before I could meet her at her bank and get the check and mark it sold.
