Where to sell a unicorn manual
Hello,
I have this 6th gen Maxima (2004 SE) with 124K miles, what I believe to be one of the last made manual transmission Maximas. I bought it as rebuilt from salvage due to minor body damage - a wrinkled door and fender that have been replaced. Over the last year I replaced a great deal of parts, made many repairs, where now it runs great, reliable, no leaks, I enjoy driving it a lot.
But, due to many cars and limited space, I'm in a position where I need to sell it. Not all family can drive manual so this has to go.
I listed the car on CL and FB marketplace but I'm not getting much interest, despite the very low price. At this point, it's clear that I'll get much less than the car is worth, but at least I'd wanted to go to a car enthusiast that would appreciate the rarity they have on their hands instead of someone that frowns at the thought of stick shift (rebuilt) and sees it as a liability.
So my question, where would you manual enthusiasts find a buyer to appreciate the car for its value? Definitely more important than price point. But I wouldn't want to give it away to end up in a junkyard when it has so much more life in it.
For reference, I'm in Denver CO metro area.
