Hello folks. I have lurked here on and off through the years. I loved my FRS but I used it primarily as the occasional weekend car. The car is a red 6 speed manual 2014 FRS in pristine condition and with only around 22,000 miles. Garage kept. Handwashed with no fine swirl marks in the paint and the car is mechanically perfect. Basically in collectors condition which is primarily what I did with it, it was more a less a fun car for only the weekend jaunt to play tennis. The car basically is close to showroom condition and I am the original owner.

At 54 years of age I want to replace it now with a more family oriented vehicle and given the way used cars are selling today I think this is the best time to do it to get the best return.

My question is what is the safest way to sell the car and get the best return? I would like to try private but I want to make sure the people buying it wouldn't try to scam me. What safeguards should I have in place? If I don't feel comfortable I might try Carvana. Thoughts?

Also what would be a reasonable return on a private sale? I'm hoping around 25K.
