The CR-Z FS thread got me wondering how many people are search craigslist for cars vs [autotrader.com](http://autotrader.com). Almost all the car’s I’ve bought have been [autotrader.com](http://autotrader.com) finds. ---

Last 2 cars were new and from local-ish dealers. With employee discount dealers cannot really go below until late in the model year and they are all extremely aggressive. Some will do more on trade making it worth calling around. My V, I shopped autotrader for a while since I was looking for a particular rare color/package combo and flew to go get it, but again that was a new car. ---

My last two cars were craigslist. Prior to that, I think I went on a spree of 4 cars and one bike all from members on here. I just helped my sister buy a car off craigslist this past weekend. Helped another family member last year and had a real hard time on craigslist and ended up finding her car on autotrader. edit- I think to go further into this, it would help to note the purchase prices. All the cars I’ve gone through on craigslist have been under $5k. The one I helped find on autotrader was over $5k. Price point I feel makes a big difference, especially on the cheaper end, where craigslist flourishes lol. ---

The one I helped find on autotrader was over $5k. Price point I feel makes a big difference, especially on the cheaper end, where craigslist flourishes lol. Was just going to add this. Sub 5k cars it’s harder to justify the cost of listing them on autotrader so I I’m sure that’s why you see then more as craigslist vehicles. Plus most people aren’t willing to drive much outside of their local craigslist region on a sub 5k car. The boat I bought over the summer was a craigslist find. I was searching craigslist and [boattrader.com](http://boattrader.com) in that case. The one I sold was sold through craigslist. My snowmobile was bought and sold with craigslist and in that case craigslist was the only place I was really looking when I was shopping. ---

autotrader was where i found last 2 bmws…always my first to go site… now, however i would also look at cargurus, carfax, [cars.com](http://cars.com)…a lot of the same cars are on multiple, but those 4 are the best IMO. all bikes were CL, except 1 of current ones was just walking into dealer. ---
