Where to sell an 8 year old Mercedes convertible?
My wife's Boxster arrived to replace her Mercedes. I've always sold my prior cars on craigslist but I'm, out of patience for that. Besides CarMax (and possibly Intersport), who else buys used European cars?

Quite a few used car dealers in NoVa who sell cars like that. One in Alexandria is called Select Auto imports I believe. Not sure if these types of places buy through auctions or directly from owners, though.
There are other options than CraigsList for online sales. What about Cars.com?

How bout on Dorkiphus? Autotrader? Carmax? MB boards? Local paper?EBay? Facebook marketplace? You know, the same places you sell anything else.
Which model is it? Mileage?

Selling on Dorkiphus might work for me since you all are such a great bunch of people
But I didn't want to deal with the craigslist, ebay, autotrader, etc process of answering people's questions, letting people inspect it only to have somebody offer a shotgun as a downpayment and then $200 a month in payments. (Yes, that was one of the offers when selling a Audi 5000 years ago...) So I was looking for used car businesses that purchased them. I normally think of Dorkiphus for Porsche and BMW's, track cars (although Miata doesn't seem to get any love here except for Dr. K and I), trailers and tow vehicles, but two of you suggested it so I'll likely post it when it stops raining and I get some better pictures. 2011 Mercedes E550 Cabriolet 96k miles, white with beige interior and light brown roof.
