Well I am hoping to get more than the cheap-o's at Carmax offered me. Its crazy they offered me $10k than what I bought it from them 8 months and 600 miles prior. Does cars.com charge for listing? And are they better than autotrader? Also would it be worth my while to remove the mods. They are few like coilovers, rims, gruppe m intake. I figured it would be best as they would sell easliy on the forum.

Not too familiar with carmax. Enthusiast Auto in Ohio specializes in rare mint condition M cars, Z3&4 M Coupes, E30 M3, etc. They only take the best examples on the used market. So if your car had been modified, tracked, or has anyhting but a clean history, forget it. If you have a low mileage clean car, they are very fair. Great guys to deal with as well.

Cars.com does charge, but they are less than autotrader. I got way more leads from autotrader though.

Definitely bring your car back to stock and part out your mods. People will NOT pay more for mods. In fact, even if they are mods they plan on doing themselves, they simply use it as an excuse to try to talk you down.

Other observations from my recent experience...most people don't like red. That one was new to me. Especially for a sports car.

Good luck with your sale.

Yep I wasn't a fan of red until I seen mine in person. It draws alot more attention than other neutral colors like silver or black. But I can't anything about that. How long did it take you for till it sold? So did you have it listed on both cars.com and autotrader? What other means did you use?
