Which Automotive Classifieds Sites You Really Need To Visit

Classifieds News Blog recently talked about the top 15 US Car Classifieds Websites. After reading this list, which you can check out right here, I wondered how many sites a car shopper really needs to visit. Are there that many different cars for sale or do these sites duplicate each other? For most of us car shopping is an expensive and time consuming project – can shoppers streamline their online shopping? With some investigation, Classifieds News Blog can indeed tell you which sites share the same lists of cars.

AutoTrader is only the 5th most visited automotive classified site, but both the top site KBB.com and the number 4 site in Edmunds.com get 100% of their inventory from AutoTrader. This same list of cars fuels the listings on #12 NADA as well as other popular sites like askpatty.com, Microsoft’s msn.com and others. So this is first decision – pick one of these sites for your car shopping. Cars.com is the 6th most visited site according to Compete.com. Their inventory listings populate the inventory on the 2nd most popular site Yahoo Autos plus sites like Consumerguide.com and USAtoday.com. Over 200 newspapers also use Cars.com inventory in their autos sections. This is your 2nd choice – pick one of these sites. eBay is the 2nd most popular site and is the only one of the top 6 sites not using Cars or AutoTrader listings! This is a simple choice – are you willing to buy over the Internet? If so add eBay to your list, otherwise probably you can pass. eBay Motors just added some local listings, but they are way behind Cars and AutoTrader. Carmax.com is the only other site with truly unique listings – in their case just the cars on their Carmax lots. If you live near a Carmax it’s a great choice to add to your list. Next on our list is autos.aol.com which gets their listings from vast.com. Now if you visit any of these sites – Automedia.com, ImpreMedia.com, Overstock.com, myride.com – you are going to see the exact same listings! Pick one site that is powered by Vast and you are set.

“So the bottom line is while you should use KBB and Edmunds for car pricing, Carfax for vehicle history and many of these sites for car reviews – in terms of classified inventory you can pick out just 4 or 5 sites and cover well over 99% of the cars that are being advertised on the Internet.

Further down the list Automotive.com and Motortrend.com are both owned by Source Interlink Media and have the same inventory as each other as well as internetautoguide.com and motortrendenespanol.com. By this point the number of cars listed on these sites is nothing compared to the close to 2 million on AutoTrader and Cars. So the bottom line is while you should use KBB and Edmunds for car pricing, Carfax for vehicle history and many of these sites for car reviews – in terms of classified inventory you can pick out just 4 or 5 sites and cover well over 99% of the cars that are being advertised on the Internet.
