I’m back in Chicago again, so I need to get rid of the junker I bought for commuting. I think I could probably get a couple grand for it if I sell it myself, so that’s where you guys come in: where do you think I should list my car? I’m thinking maybe the Reader, but that’s kind of small. Maybe the Trib, to keep Cecil’s belly full? Where do you all look for used cars? Thanks, TD. ---

The Daily Herald (NW Suburbs) and the Sun Times. That’s where Mr2U looks for cars anyway. ---

Don’t forget the Reader. Tribune, [cars.com](http://cars.com)… ---

Craigslist has lots of urban readers and is free and fast. Worth a shot. ---

I always thought of the SunTimes for cars rather than the Trib. ---
