Craigslist has become a revolutionary new way for people to list and sell their vehicles online. Since it is a free online community, it's popularity has grown exponentially over the last few years and not only for private car sales but a lot of dealerships are also taking advantage of the free publicity.
Choose Region
Craigslist lets you choose the region you would like to search for you new car. Using Craigslist yourself you are only able to search one specific region at a time but there are other websites that allow you to expand the search capabilities of Craigslist. Crazedlist.org allows you to search for you new car in mulitiple states at once on Craigslist (See Resources).
Searching on Craigslist
If you are using Craigslist directly, searching for a new car is very easy and straight forward. Choose the region you want to search and go to the For Sale Section and choose cars+trucks. This will open up a new window where you can put in your search criteria. You can search by price, location, keywords, with pictures or just search titles to find what you are looking for. Craigslist also has advanced search options such as: if you add a minus sign in front of a word it will be excluded from the search, adding quotation marks will search for specific phrases in the posting. You can also search for specific posting by using its unique 10-digit posting ID
By Dealer or By Owner
You can also filter your searches by dealer listings or by owner listings. After you run your initial search and you have pulled up all the posts at the end of them it will say either; "cars & trucks - by dealer" or "cars & trucks by owner." By clicking on either of these two phrases you can choose to only search for the vehicle you are looking for by listings provided only by dealerships or only by private party owners.
