Selling my Mom's mint Sentra

My Mom decided to stop driving, not out of incapacity but more because she's not using her car much and the parking garage at her senior's residence is nearly 200$ monthly.

If in Firm's situation (room and car-friendly wife), I would have kept it as a stay-behind, but I have the Crosstrek already and don't really need another car here.

The thing is super-mint - the engine pic says it all (no, I have not cleaned it...) 37,157 km with dealer service every 6 months since new.

Definitely looks minty fresh.  Someone will be getting a good car.

That's a great find for someone needing reliable transportation, first car, etc. I am sure it'll sell quickly.

You'd think so, but selling a used car seems like it's a massive pain in the ass.

Hopefully it sells quickly. It definitely seems like a good buy for a car with a ton of life left in it.

Good luck with the sale! Small commuter car in Montreal should go quickly.

That would sell in SK in about 5 minutes.  Hell, I sold a '13 Sentra with a failing transmission within an hour a couple months ago.

This is (was) the first time I included my cell number in the box for that while creating the listing. I immediately was swamped by text messages from wheeler-dealers with US area codes asking common questions that were all answered in the listing. I went back and deleted my phone number. One is "coming" today. From Quebec city. Sure. Another wanted to buy cash. And drive away with it. On a Sunday. Licence bureau is quite closed, dude.

After Trader, I added it to Mkt and promoted it on my fb. Not a (real) peep so far, but it's early.

I'm also quite active on Mkt, reselling furniture and stuff from my MIL's estate. I had 53 people wanting an IKEA bookshelf - phone was pinging like crazy. Tons of people asking where I'm located when the $%?& app shows it.
