Thinking of offering my car for sale overseas

Guys and Gals:

Are there any Euro (or maybe specifically German) Pelicanheads here who can advise/ investigate.... how to best market my car for sale in Europe? I have an excellent condition US-market 1985 Carrera with 62K miles.... that may be up for sale. A rough value guide for such a car in Europe would be nice to know too. I think even with the extra costs and hassles associated with a possible overseas sale....there is still money to be made this way over a comparable US sale.

Comments? Thanks in advance for any help... as I ponder whether I want to do something like this or not....

Nigeria. Time to get them back! Heck, you could sell the same car to them 5 or 6 times if you do it right!

Have done it a couple of times but that was 10-15 years ago. Cars in Europe do not last as long so there are not a lot of "old timers" as they are called there.

Worth looking there for a sale. Might advertise it in Ebay Germany (eBay: Neue und gebrauchte Elektronikartikel, Autos, Kleidung, Sammlerstücke, Sportartikel und mehr – alles zu günstigen Preisen) or the like. Helps to speak or at least read German. If you need help let us know.
