Best Venue to Sell a 2005 MINI

After 20 years of trouble free operation, I am selling my 2005 Supercharged MINI since I am moving out of the country in a few weeks. Can anyone recommend the best venue to advertise and sell my MINI?
Thanks in advance!

"A few weeks" doesn't allow you much time, other than on your local Craigslist listings ($5 fee). I'd start by listing here with details and pics, while doing same on CL simultaneously. Even an exceptional example would take more time than you have to get into Bring a Trailer or Cars and Bids auction sites, with their scheduling queue plus listing time format once it goes live...

Facebook Marketplace and the various FB groups for selling MINI's. I think Facebook has the largest audience these days. With the buy/sell groups you'll get your targeted audience. I'm not sure about Ebay (buy it now or auction).

With that tight time constraint, I think most if not all of the premium auction sites are out of the question. I'd start right here. Costs you nothing, and you have a targeted demographic at your fingertips.

Here, FB marketplace, FB groups for Mini's. Depending on the build, there's generic FB mini groups as well as more track focused groups. Good luck. Given your timeframe, I'd recommend pricing it well to avoid possibly having to hassle with it after you've left.
