Kijiji is ebay classifieds. Only operates in some US cities, apparently. In Canada, some locations see more Craigslist traffic, while in other cities it is all Kijiji. Same idea.

You mention being worried that someone will steal your title. I don't know how that happens but I am also not clear how you transfer title where you live. Here, we sign it over after receiving payment. Anybody asks for a copy of it before then, they don't get it. The risk isn't the title here, it is actually receiving payment. My practice is to require a bank draft made out to me, not by the purchaser but by his bank. I go with him to his bank, they make out a bank draft (cashier cheque) to me, I sign the title over. Takes minutes. His cheque can't bounce, since I don't have his cheque, I have the bank's cheque. Out of courtesy, I have gone to the motor vehicle licensing and insurance office down the street after signing over the title, together with the purchaser, so he can complete everything. They don't need me, but it can speed things up. Then we swap the plates, and we are done.
