Auto Trader

Auto Trader boasts over 2 million new, used, and certified vehicles listed for sale by private owners, dealers, and manufacturers. At Auto Trader you'll find hundreds of photo ads for domestic and foreign cars for sale.

Search buying and selling tips, car reviews, vehicle pricing and safety information; and help with finance, insurance, and warranty programs.

If selling your car, don’t transfer the title until you have the equivalent of cash at the agreed upon purchase price. If the buyer pays by check, wait until the check clears before transferring the title. Even if the buyer pays with a certified check, call the issuing bank to confirm the check has cleared.

Whether buying or selling consider using a reliable escrow service. An escrow service can hold the payment and title until the car is delivered and the check clears. Shop carefully and choose an escrow service that is fully licensed and accredited.

Dealer-installed options such as rustproofing, paint sealant, and fabric protection are not necessary. New cars are covered under warranty against rust. Regular washing and waxing of your car ensures that the finish stays like new, and you can protect your fabric using any number of commercially available solutions.

Whether buying new or used; or selling a vehicle, first check a reliable car price guide such as KBB (Kelley Blue Book), Black Book, Red Book, or the NADA Used Vehicle Guide.
