If it's something unique, different, a classic I'll try CL (in my area) first. depending on the response - I'll post on area's expanded from me (major metro). The cost is "0" but for your time and patience which is required anyway but can be very effective.

I may try word-of-mouth to friends and coworkers if I know someone with the means may be interested.

Then it's on to Ebay, a global audience. I have had buyers and assisted in shipping to Germany, Italy, England, Canada as well as in the continental US. While a lot of people don't like it or their format I make the ad simple, sometimes funny and easy if you just want to buy it now with out listing a buy-it-know in the title.

I live in the 'burbs and have several public spots and park it on a Sat or Sun including my own front yard which fronts a secondary road off of a main artery. This works but requires more 1-on-1 involvement, time............... and yes patience.

Cars.com is about 90% dealer listings and frequently the ads stay up long after the vehicle is sold. Don't rule it out as I found my 2000 BMW 540M Sport 6-speed ( 1 of 1300 or so imported ) there after searching for almost 6 months................and it was just down the street from where I worked.

My advice is don't focus too much on the 'mode' of advertising. Start with the simple process first. Though your OP was other than CL / Ebay -there's a reason why they are the most popular - because they work.
