2003 Ford Thunderbird with salvage title

[Bill Decken]

I have a 2003 with a salvage that I want to sell. Bought it with 18,000 miles now has 78,000 miles. Runs great. Body and paint good. What are my chances/options of selling?

@Bill Decken , it's been a while since I worked on the car lot, but I'm sure not much has changed. The salvage title devalues the car significantly and you'll need a cash buyer. The big plus I see here is that the car has had a salvage title, that was since driven for a significant number of years/miles. That really removes a lot of the fears from some potential buyers. I mean, you bought the car at a significantly higher price yourself years ago, whoever buys it now has a lot less risk, as the car is 13 years old and has a much lower value. So yes, you can sell it. Obviously Spring/Summer is the best time to sell a convertible.

I'd say your best bet is Craigslist. A lot of mechanics and people peddling in the car business buy cars on there.
