I am trying to sell a newer car for about $10,000 how would I go about selling it privately? I have looked through the newspaper and online with car sales web sites for private parties and dealerships to sell cars. I have determined that my vehicle's asking price should be at aobut $10,000. Since most people this day and age buy cars with a loan if they are over a certain amount, how would I go about selling this car? I really want to go through with a private party sale because I think that I would get a better deal than going to a dealer trying to sell the car(already bought a car through a private party). I have a feeling people are going to test drive my car and then realize I can't finance them. If that comes up how would I recommend they get a car loan? Would this sale work privately? Do people still buy cars for this much money privately without a loan, or would i be better off losing about $2k more trying to go with a dealer? I am trying to sell it in about 2 weeks and most dealerships are selling these for about $11.5 in the paper and online. ...I'd prefer not to do sell a car on eBay because I do not know who the seller is and I would really like to provide people with a test drive before they buy and I have seen many instances where people don't inspect the vehicle before bidding and then back out if they find a problem, even if it is small. I'd probably do this with a vehicle that I was selling for under say $3k, but not for this. Any other ideas?

How can I sell my used 2005 car without the tile to my friend who is short on cash? I just bought a newer used car from 2005 at the toyota dealer and I got the loan through them. I bought the car for $12,800 total with taxes and I put $2,000 dollars down when I bought it. So now I owe about $11,000 on it. I would like to sell it to a friend for $12,000 and make back about a $1,000 on it. This way I'll only end up loosing the $800. He doesn't have enough money so he would have to take out a loan from somewhere himself, but I think he has good credit. Anyway, the problem is that I don't have the title since the car isn't paid off yet and I owe the dealer money, not a bank, since the loan was taken out through them. What are the steps I have to take to sell this car to my friend who is also short on cash himself, but still has good credit? Also, how hard would it be to sell this car to a stranger if my friend decides to back out of it since I don't have the title? What about selling it to CarMAX? I heard that they take care of all the financial mumbojumbo for you.
