A gas-guzzler sport-utility vehicle is one that gets poor gas mileage. Though you might not see why anyone would want your SUV, others may value its towing capacities or its cargo and seating space. Listing your vehicle for sale and selling it is generally hassle-free, just as long you have all of your paperwork in order. Know where to list your SUV for sale and what to say to potential buyers to sell it as quickly as possible.

Look up the value of your SUV. Go to the Kelley Blue Book and Edmunds websites and put in your zip code, mileage and all relevant vehicle information to determine the private sale value. Write the the value down--you should use the median value from both websites as both are different.
2Go to the All of Craigs website to find out what others are selling like-SUVs for and to determine if the value is appropriate or fair. Type in the year, make and model of your SUV into the search field. You can also change the states you want to search in.
3Clean your SUV inside and out so that it is presentable. Take as many pictures as you can for advertisements. Advertise on Craigslist, eBay Motors, AutoTrader and any newspapers in or close to your area. Many have an online publication that will reach more readers.
4Add as many pictures and as much information as possible in your advertisement. Call your state's motor vehicle department and ask which documents you'll need to complete your sale. Have all state-required or recommended paperwork, such as the bill of sale or title application, ready to give to your potential buyer.
5Arrange appointments and answer emails until you find a buyer. Once you do, accept payment in the form of a verified bank check or cash. Sign your title over to the new owner and provide him with any additional paperwork as required by your state.
6Take your plates off of the vehicle before you give it to the new owner. Follow your state's procedures and time frame to return them.
