The car buying services offered so little that it wasn't worth it. Not anywhere near what the local ads showed.

I looked into a local car auction - I'd take my chance there to get a better price. But have never done it before, so interested in other thoughts.

Mine's a Ford Econoline van that would appeal to those looking for a camper. Unfortunately, since doing the research, the transmission sprung a huge leak, so it's garaged for the time being.
