Default Where to sell my Disco I?

We've owned it since it was new but it is time to sell my wife's 1999 Disco series 1. Thinking for years we were about to trade it, I've neglected several problems - it overheats fairly easily, it has a few electrical problems (like door locks & seat controls not working) and the clear coat has degraded.

My general question is this: where's the best place to sell it? I know if I trade it at a dealer they will probably only give me $500 for it.

If it overheats it’s only worth $500.

I had the radiator checked today and it is blocked, so at least I know what the problem is.

Located in Orlando and the color is Woodcote Green

How many miles? Snap a few during the day and post them if you can. Could be potential buyers here on the site. If the motor overheats and has been overheating that could be a problem..

I’m interested. I’ve been thinking about leaving a car at my moms house for when the family flies down every Christmas. I actually have a radiator to put in it.
I’ll drop you a dm for more details

So wife goes back & forth about wanting to keep it or move to a different vehicle, so I ordered the radiator from RockAuto and will install it this weekend. We'll see how that works out then decide on selling or not. It is good to know that there is interest...and thanks to everyone on this forum, as always.
