I sold my 2013 M-Sport 535 F10 6-speed manual with 35k miles on it back in October and there was a stampede of people after it, especially from Los Angeles (I am in Sacramento). I was the original owner and it was in beyond excellent shape with only mild cosmetic upgrades, though. There are definitely nerds! out there that still want a MT, they will find you!

I would suggest to sell your car:

1. Autotrader/Cars.com Ad with the Carfax paid for
2. Craiglist Ad that also links to 1.
3. Take a TON of high quality pics with a real camera
4. Load those raw pics on a premium Dropbox account in a folder, link to it on 1., 2.
5. Have all your receipts/invoices/history all scanned and also loaded onto Dropbox.
6. Be honest in pointing out any dings, wear, repairs, issues.
7. Be willing to take it for a PPI, etc and address any outstanding issues.

......heck even add a startup video, etc as well to Dropbox....I did

Bring A Trailer is an excellent place to look at high effort sales posts to imitate. I cannot believe how many crappy low effort ads with blurry pics are out there on Cars/Autotrader/CL etc. You will get maximum value and a happy new owner if you put some effort into it.
