Personally I would recommend autotrader.com

I had a 2000 Cherokee sport i wanted to sell, I had it in the paper first, and barely got any calls and all the people that did call either didnt have (or didnt want to spend) the $$ even though it was very agressively priced.

I put it on autotrader, had a call the next day, and the first person that called, purchased it. I took down the ad a day later, after having at least 6 more calls. The other thing is you can for the most part type to your hearts content, include photos etc, all things that make the presentation more appealing to a prospective purchaser.

Basically I view the newspaper as an analog technology in a digital world. I am not trying to sound biased here, but the more affluent a person, the more likely they are to a) have internet access b) be computer savvy, c) rely on the internet for information. Most people view the newspaper as a source of recreation, especially in a large community, where the internet is where they run to search for needed info.

Just my thoughts on the subject.
