If there was a gif of nicname thwarting the attempted-flag-taker and then gesturing him to suck it, followed by motioning for all of Hilton Shelter to boo him louder, it'd be better than that auburn gif.

Yeah, huge drawback in my neighborhood.

UPDATE - I originally listed the car on FB marketplace in April for 6k but just got a bunch of scammers or rando's.

Relisted it on Monday for 5k and ended up selling it to a guy who was a couple years younger than me in elementary school. Showed it to him around noon then met back up around 5 to exchange title/cash/keys.

Minus inflation/insurance/property taxes I basically had a free extra car for 4 years and 20k miles.

What is the best place/option to sell an old used car these days? I've got a 2006 4WD V6 Rav4 with 180k miles on it that I'm going to be selling soon.

I bought it on FB marketplace with 160k miles as a farm/visionquest vehicle 4 years ago for 5k but now its time to let it go. I looked at FB Marketplace tonight and it seems like 90% of the posts are just junk or random small time car dealers, nothing from actual individuals.

Would FB Marketplace be the best bet? CarMax? Something else I don't know of?

Used Toyota's defy the laws of the used car market. They just hold their value for eternity.

He is a car guy and his exact words on why he was buying it "Yeah, I need to do some work on my car (it was Supra or some sort of sporty thing) and I don't know how long it will take so I need something to get around with, plus these things will last forever, I bet I can get another 100k miles out of it"

Those things will last 300k miles with regular maintenance. Easy
