Look online for comparable cars. What are people asking for those.

Take pictures of anny rust, dents and other negative stuff.

Include if you can images of the service manual proving the car has been take care of.

Mention selling it because you need money for chocolate.

Put a new car wonderbaum (scented dohicky with the smell of mew car) into the car. Sounds stupid but we humans are simple creatures.

Get all sales details in writing. Car sold as is and you did not withhold any information regarding the car.

Cancel all insurances and such on the car.

Mention how many miles it has been driven. (include picture of the bright lights beyond the steering wheel)

Forgot something, but I forget what.

Great info, when selling your car, go to carmax and get an appraisal or an ACV (actual cash value) from at least 3 dealerships. This can put things into perspective when looking at multiple dealerships to sell your car to. What year is your 350z?

Age of the vehicle and the miles on it probably will see a below average price when selling it on your own but if you pad the numbers after your appraisal you should be able to get slightly more. In a nutshell, credit unions and banks will not finance that car unless you have great credit. Typically it's less than 12 years and 120k miles.

Also Facebook marketplace has a lot of protections in place to secure any transaction and going through that way where you receive payment digitally instead of cash because it easier to to have a digital receipt as well as a tax write off next year. Also depending on your state, you will need that transfer of your title as well as any state applicable taxes that the person you sell it too is aware because they will have to pay taxes on that purchase.
