Any tips on how to dump this thing without going to a dealer and getting raped?
Thanks

I have this strange affinity for early to mid 80's luxury cars, so I go through phases where I'm buying and selling them. Trust me when I say Facebook Marketplace is going to be your best bet. If you post on Craigslist you are going to get 50 scammers for every one legitimate buyer, and if you post your phone number as your contact you're going to get constant Nigerians texting you day and night using the Google Voice app. I'm sure you've heard of all the Nigerian Paypal scams where they try and get you to ship your car, so I won't rehash them.
Facebook Marketplace isn't perfect, but at least you can get an actual profile to look through and vet. You'll get the occasional Nigerian with a fake profile contacting you, but for the most part Facebook is pretty good at catching them...
