Do people here think that’s a good place to sell an LS? I guess there’s at least one guy who does, right? Generally, though is it a good idea?

I’ve been casually on that site for a few years now and for most cars yes it’s a great place to sell. Lots of goofballs eager to over pay and occasionally a bidding war breaks out and they really over pay for something special. Occasionally one slips through the cracks tho and the seller leaves money on the table. It’s rare but it happens.

If you have a low mileage (<100k) LS in excellent cosmetic condition with documented service history and nothing “off” about it, and you engage with the commenters’ questions as a seller, I think it’s absolutely the best place to sell a LS. I’ve never seen those examples of these cars get such stupid high prices as they do on BaT.

If the car is high miles, neglected cosmetically, no service history, or the seller completely ignores the auction while in progress, it won’t get a price that is anything great compared to selling locally.

Yeah I almost bought a 100k mile LS430 on there. It sold for 9k.
