How can I sell my (uninsured, unregistered) car with minimum work/hassle?
It's a 2003 Rav4 with about 33k miles. Blue book is something like $8k.
It's been sitting unused in a downtown Boston parking lot for several weeks now. The insurance has expired, and the registration has been revoked for this reason. I want to sell it with minimal hassle/effort.
I don't want to deal with having numerous random people come check it out / test drive it / etc. I'd rather not have to reinsure / reregister it.
I recognize that I'll receive substantially less money doing it this way.
What should I do?
Thanks!

You have the title? If so insurance/ registration doesn't matter. Sell it like any other car.

You don't reveal where you are. In California, one thing that can be a stumbling block is not being able to provide a recent smog certificate -- it is incumbent on the seller to provide one.
Second vote for Carmax. Quick, easy, but not much money: $300 for my won't-pass-smog 2000 Audi A6. YMMV.

Well, yes, you probably are in Massachusetts. Sorry. ;^)
