Hey Reddit, could you help me sell my car?

I bought my car two years ago during my senior year in high school but now I need to sell it. I know it's not a bad car, but I need to sell it, and fairly soon. Seeing as how I've never sold anything this large I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it. Not sure what I should and shouldn't include in listings, where to list, what paperwork trades hands, how much I should ask, etc.

1999 Ford Taurus SE
198,000 Miles 
Recently had a new engine put in it. The new engine only has around 85,000 miles on it. I have some paperwork to prove this.
Leather Interior
Non-Working A/C. It blows but it's not cold.
3 or so dings/dents. All pictured below.
Driver seat show's normal signs of use of a leather seat. 
Passenger and back interior is in really good shape.
The rear struts(?) are shot so it can squeak down a bumpy road pretty badly.
Rides very smooth.
Gets around 25MPG Hwy
6 disc CD player in the trunk. Recently stopped reading all discs.
All power windows and locks.

Also, please note that my car doesn't come with the Hitler 'stash.

It actually cleans up pretty nice but could definitely use a wash.

Edit: Formatting.

You can start by putting pretty much everything in your post on Craigs List. You can figure out a reasonable asking price by going to the website for Kelly Blue Book, punching in some numbers about your car, and they'll spit out a Blue Book value.
