I have an Oldsmobile Bravada my dad gave me a couple years ago.
He drove it for 13 years and just kept it and bought another car.
I moved to Germany and it's just sitting in a storage garage in Minnesota. It runs fine, is registered through 2016. For some reason there are like 100 of these cars for sale locally so I think it will be difficult to sell. I admit, it holds some weird sentimental value, but I think I should get rid of it because I don't drive it and it's just costing me money.
I just wonder if I should try putting it up for sale for $400, or will that set me up to get sued by some broke goofball? Are there any new options for moving a car like this other than the typical, donate it to the car fixer upper program? What if they don't even want it?
Not much to worry about being sued unless you try to hide something. Otherwise, the sale is simply "as is" and buyer be ware. I doubt, at that price point, you would fail to disclose a known issue anyway.
That said, if you think it is truly just worth in or around $400, just sell it for scrap. You will likely get a few hundred out of it and then won't have to deal with advertising, tire kickers, etc. Sounds like your just looking to shed the payment you have for storing it at this point anyway.
Selling on craigslist is unlikely if he is in Germany, it would just smell of scam, and how is the title transfer going to be done? Donate it to a charity, or just quit paying the storage bill and let them sell it. $400 for a driveable car would be a sweet deal though.

Well obviously he has to come home, or have someone there do it for him. He's still going to have to sign the title over. He'll have to be there to sign it over to a charity.
Seriously, for $400 I'd donate it to the local battered women's shelter and take the tax write-off. Walk away feeling good about myself having helped out someone who needed belp. Not have to come home to get rid of the car.
