As crazy as it seems I'd say facebook market place. Never in a million years would I have thought that as I always turned to craigslist, auto trader, etc. However my wife, who is a bit younger than me and in her 20's, recommended facebook when we were looking to add another Z to our stable. Sure enough the market place there is busy and shortly after we found a 280zx in our area that we bough. From what I've seen people like me that are in their mid to late 30's and older tend to turn to what we grew up with, like craigslist. The younger crowd is using platforms they grew up, like facebook. So while I would still say to post on craigslist I would also say to do so on facebook. In fact post it in as many places as possible for the best outcome. If you aren't in a hurry to sell I would start at the higher end and every 2 weeks drop it 500 bucks until hopefully it sells. But given COVID, the economy, and the time of year I think you'll find that people looking to a buy a car in that price range aren't going to be wanting to pay high range. They say in general performance cars sell better in spring and summer. Winter/holiday season is the worse time. While the Mazdaspeed isn't a traditional 2 door sports car, as you said it does have a uniqueness to it putting it in the sports car category. But it also falls into an area where someone who wants a 4 door wagon at a good price may not care that it has extra power. So in the end it really comes down to how desperate you are to sell and what your lowest price you would take.
