You can list your vehicle on Craigslist, Facebook, and popular online classifieds websites like ATVTrader.com. Additionally, you can print out flyers to post in areas where individuals looking to buy may frequent, such as bulletins at ATV and motorcycle parts or repair shops. Whether you are advertising online, via physical flyer or both, make sure to include adequate images to entice a possible buyer as well as indicating information such as year, make, model, mileage.

If possible, you can also verify that the cleared title will be mailed to the buyer as the recipient.
