For a REAL quick sell....lowball yourself and post it up on car forums (and even on the "Car For Sale" forum on this site). Then stick to your lowball price...don't let anyone lowball you further.

--OR--

Take the car to the dealer, have them make you an offer

Take the car to CARMAX, have them make you an offer.

throw it on Craigslist.....


i'd ask around $15000 for it, but remember summer is almost over so most people around here aren't going to be looking for convertibles, and if they are they will be expecting lower prices

your 13,999 is a good price . . . although, seeing as how summer is almost over . . . and up here in the midwest, it starts to get considerable cooler in about 2 months, it might not sell quite as fast . . . I have been looking for a while, but after a summer of things falling through, I'm just gonna hold out till spring now, and try to pick one up for a good price in Feb. or Mar.

good luck with the sale man, maybe part out the exhaust separately
