Also, craiglist is awesome. After Ourisman offered me $150 and Carmax offered me $250 for my Contour, I posted it to craigslist for $1000 and have gotten about 15 responses. A couple seem like scams, so I'm not replying to them, but I've gotten at least 10 serious inquiries, including one person who's supposed to come look at the car tonight and is bringing cash. My goal is to have the car sold before 1/26 so I can drop it from my insurance before my new policy kicks in.
