Dislikes: 1. dealer name, city and phone numbers not listed on main search results page: an annoyance, but i can click through - usually. (I think this falls under traderonlines area of responsibility) 2. mfr certified cars not showing up as such (probably listers fault) 3. Irrelavent "option" info (definately listers fault. This is what I mean, an endless list of cars all with the following "options" leather seats, alloy wheels, V6, auto trans, power windows, AC, etc, ad nauseum when ALL OF THIS is STANDARD EQUIPMENT on the car I'm looking at. The 3 or 4 REAL options, sunroof, Bose audio, sport package, chrome wheels are NOT LISTED. That caused me no end of headaches. 4. no VIN # (listers fault see my previous post) 5. no color, I will NOT buy any shade of beige or tan, uugh! (listers fault) 6. no mileage (listers fault) What I Like: 1. excellent way to see what is out there and the range of asking prices. 2. can put in a distance and / or year filter 3. can filter for CPO cars I made extensive use of autotrader in my last two car purchases and will seriously consider it when trying to sell my next car (If I have to sell one). |

I've been trying to research used cars all weekend. Make of car comes up but then the model selection is grayed out and I can't look for a particular model. So, doing a wider search for all models always gets this: 0 vehicles. Anyone else having trouble with this?

I just recently sold my car and had it listed in several areas such as Auto-Trader, local newspaper, flyer magazine....and when I received calls on it I would always ask where they seen my add...the answers were pretty spread out accross the board...some seen it in the paper, some on the internet, etc... But like anything else, if you are trying to sell a product (in this case your car) then you have to put it out where it will give you the most exposure. I did gets those scam emails and the answer I sent back was not very nice...trust me! I cannot say those types of things in this forum... What I can say is that there is only three ways to accept payment on your car... The first is cash!!! Now if your selling a $30,000 car then you may not want that kind of cash laying around in your house...especially since the person who just bought your car knows you have it!!! Need to think about that one...Second is a cashiers check from a LOCAL BANK ONLY!!! That way you can either go down to that bank with the buyer or call them to verify the funds...don't call the number that the buyer gives you...look it up...hell the person could give you the number to their scam buddy and you would never know....last but not least is a wire transfer...by far the best choice...I don't care if they have a bank, credit union, whatever...every financial institution has the ability to due a transfer. You supply the routing number and account number, bank name and presto it is all done...it only takes hours from funds to get from their bank to yours...it is strictly a deposit...and you don't have to worry about giving out your account number because if your bank is any good there is plenty of fraud security there to protect you.....Never, ever conduct deals of such great financial situations through emails...especially Nigerian!!! Just read edmunds forums and your learn more in a week than you have your entire life....that's why this forum rocks!!!! Be careful out there!

...every time you write a check to someone. Now, if you sign an auto-debit form, that's different...

Replying to: mirth (Jun 17, 2005 11:32 am) There is no sure or foolproof way to make a major transaction.. No bank is going to take the hit for any fraud you incur... Unless you operate entirely on cash, they will get their money back one way or another... |
