Best place to advertise a FS Evo?

Hey guys, anyone know the best place to advertise an Evo online? I put a post in the FS section under cars FS for my Evo but it doesn't look like that part of the forum ever gets much traffic. Im trying to buy a house so I need to sell mine in the near future.

Thank,

-CI

My 03 WW is up for sale as well. I posted mine on Yahoo! Autos and Autotrader.

Yahoo Autos!

Good: I got the Featured ad for $34.95 (lasts 21 days) + 2 free renewals. You can track number of views, how many times your car was found on Yahoo search etc.

Bad: I got a few fraudulent emails. People trying to pose as agents abroad and who want me to ship my car and they will deposit $$ in escrow and shiet. I usually reply back saying if they are abroad, I need payment in FULL CASH ONLY, they never reply back, LOL. Be very careful.

Check it out:
http://my.autos.yahoo.com/usedcars/d...4075191-057932

Autotrader

Good: I got the Enhanced featured ad for $49. You can renew your ad till it sells, you will also get placement in the autotrader magazine.

Bad: No idea how your ad is tracking like in Yahoo!, also the number of characters allowed for your ad is only 150, compared to 2000 on Yahoo! Autos.

Check it out:

The 0% APR on the new Evo's is really hurting our resale values. Wait till that ends, then it should go back up. My car's KBB price is $26500, asking $25500. You have only 8K miles on your car, dont lower your price just because someone said its too high. Bottom line is YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR, dont let the fools here lowball you! Hope this helps...
