The Two Best Websites for Finding a Used Car Have you ever been disappointed while looking for a used car online? For example, never finding the car you are interested in, it is difficult to get the contact information of the seller, not getting satisfactory information related to the car you found, all this leads to total disappointments. After doing some research for a week and based on my personal experience, I discovered two best websites for finding a used car. They are http://www.cars.com/ and http://www.autotrader.com/. Initially, these two websites seem similar, but if you look into the details, you can see the strength and weakness of both websites. These are what I will explain later in this article. Cars.com [2] and Autotrader.com [1] are comprehensive online resources for buying and selling a car. Both of these websites list all potential cars from dealers and private sellers. Cars.com [2], created in June 1998, is a division of Classified Ventures, LLC, owned by six major media companies. Autotrader.com [1], created in early 1997 and headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia, is a division of AutoTrader.com, LLC. Autotrader.com [1] is the world's leading online automotive marketplace, with over 2.5 million cars for sale from dealers, private sellers and manufacturers. Both Cars.com [2] and Autotrader.com [1] are public websites; this means that these websites are open to automotive dealerships and private sellers throughout the United States. Shoppers can search for a car anywhere in the United States by entering their zip code. Individual sellers can also list their car on the website regardless of their location. Both of these websites provide free information on all aspects of the car buying and processing process. You do not need to be a member to access the website. The website is free for car buyers. However, sellers have to pay to advertise their cars on the site. Another income for these websites comes from advertising placed on the websites of other car manufacturers. Advertising on these websites helps both retailers and manufacturers to promote their company, as more than 8 million people on average visit these websites monthly. The scheme of both these websites seems so simple. In the title above, both have many menus, but if we compare these two, Autotrader.
