Used Car Websites
Popular used car websites for buying and selling
Most of the used car websites are loaded with ads and banners that distract you from viewing the actual vehicles you are looking for. In this page, we will look at 4 dedicated websites that focusing on the cars.
Vehix Used Car Websites
Vehix site in my opinion offers the most user friendly search functions among all other used car sites. What we like about autotrader is that the site features a handy Used Car Search Engine which allows you to narrow down your searches. You can be very specific about what you looking for.
Things like interior and exterior colors of the vehicle, fuel economy, mileage of the vehicle etc. The search will pull out results based on the distance between where you live (your zip code) and how far you want to go.
Ebay motors are by far the largest market place for used cars on the Internet. There were nearly 300,000 vehicles sold on eBay last year. Dealers account for about half of eBay Motors’ listings, individual sellers are the rest.
Why would such a traditional face to face transaction can become so popular online?
From a seller’s perspective, you won’t get any phone calls in the middle of the night or during dinner time wanting a description of the cars you are selling. You almost never get people come by your house to test drive. The people who respond to your listings are your true potential buyers, you never see tire kickers anymore! Those are just some of the benefits of selling on eBay.
If you are buying from eBay, make sure you ask as many detailed questions as possible. Sometimes the picture will miss certain things, the reputation and the feedback of the seller is important, but always verify.
Make sure you get the quote for transportation charges, any inspection fees that may be required to register to your name. In my
eBay Motor Review Page
, I talked further about why eBay is the perfect place to buy and sell used cars, and other tips and advice buying and selling on eBay. Make sure you read it before bidding.
