Craigslist
The quickest way to move a vehicle is for it to be priced right and on Craigslist with good pictures to support your price.
If the asking price is above $10K, I also use the auto trader online, though that’s been much less efficient for me, considering you’re marketing against dealers who are paying for placement and CarFaxs, etc.,
I also feel most people go to AutoTrader for a quick scan of what a competitive or ‘best’ price is for a specific make/model.

Facebook market place seems to sell stuff faster and get less BS compared to Clist.
But if you don't have it priced right its going to sit.
Expect lots of crap contacts. Do not hold it make it clear first one handing you the cash wins.
You can also list it to The NEW Hill Country Swap Shop, Buy, Sell & Barter on fb
Same rules as market place on FB
It costs you to list cars on clist now also.
What are you selling
I am in the market for a motorcycle.

I am in the market for a motorcycle.That’s new. I don’t do FB, so if CL charges that, I’ll just do auto trader.
Going to try to sell my 2006 Toyota Tundra. It is in good condition but needs some mechanic work. Check engine light came on and they said it was the emissions canister and two emission valves . The truck has 93,000 miles on it. I am the original owner. I know little of mechanics and I'm not interested in having it repaired as it's a back up vehicle only and used little . Don't have a Pic handy and I'm out of town at present. Found one.

Support gun control! Hit what you aim at!
What ever the maximum number of photos that an site allows, USE THEM ALL! And clean the car before you photograph it, and "see" what's in the background! The better your photos, the better your chances of selling it.
Haven't settled on a value due to the work needed. Still runs fine . Not 4X4. Has great tires , probably less than 10,000 miles on them.
I sold a pickup this year using every online resource I could, except Craigslist. (I've always heard bad things about trolls on there.) One thing I have to warn you about is that there are many, many scam artists out there. The most common one is where they contact you and say they'll send a truck to pick up the vehicle. They want to pay you more than you asked, and then have you pay the truck and send them the balance. In the end, their check or whatever will bounce and you will be out of a vehicle plus the cash you gave them for the "balance". It's a very common scheme and I've seen it on knifemaker's forums for years. I got at least one scam artist a week trying to pull something.
For really cheap vehicles, you can ask for cash and it shouldn't be a big deal. Once you get over maybe $5000, the buyer may be financing the vehicle and you have to be pretty careful about how the money is transferred.

Craigslist ise to be a pretty good free source to sell a vehicle. But most all I sold was before they started charging to list a vehicle for sale. Plus, you have to separate the wheat from the chaff with sellers from Craigslist. Also, lots and lots of scam artists troll Craigslist.
Another source would be Ebay Motors. If I were looking to sell an vehicle and had to pay to list it for sale, I'd probably use AutoTrader or Ebay, rather than Craigslist.

I agree. Doesn't matter whether the vehicle is $1000 or less, or $10K and up. Their financing isn't the problem of the private seller. Cash in hand, before vehicle and title leave the property.
I have had the buyer give me a certified check for a vehicle they had financed at the bank. When the check was cashed or cleared and was deposited into my account, I then released the vehicle and the title to the buyer.
