I'm looking to move back to the country, and think I'll sell the mustang before I move, hopefully in the next year. I've been thinking a bunch about how to best sell it, so this thread has been useful. I hadn't known about BAT before.

Any suggestions appreciated. Seems like the market is getting good for sellers once again, so hopefully I time this all right and make a mint. Then go spend it on cattle. Attachment 397089

If it really is cherry inside and out, I think BAT is the way to go. You will need numerous well executed pics. There is really broad group of people who purchase from that site that are willing to overpay (even in this market) for some reason. I'd at least start by looking at the auctions that have ended more recently with comparable cars and then compare that to other sites/listings. You will see the premium and then decide if you want to jump through the hoops for the difference.
