I just went through this while selling a Cobra for a friend. I did sell sheets, advertised on this forum and the other one and was about to place an ad on Cobra Country. I was nearly 3 months into the process at this point.

Then, I stopped by a high end used car dealer (BMW, Jag, Porsche, Range Rover, Lambo, etc) to talk with him. We made a deal on a consignment. Within 2 weeks, we had a deal where a guy came in and wanted to trade his 2008 Mustang GT500 convertible for the car. The dealer took the Mustang in trade and my friend got his money.

You should consider the advantages of doing it this way. A lot of traffic (he put it on his website and on Autotrader), and opened up the possibility of attracting the market looking for a trade. He charged me $250 for listing the car on his site and in Autotrader. In the final analysis, he charged another $1,000. Effortless on my part.

I would do it again.
