I found my Broker on Auto Trader, seems like they allow the most photos and descriptions, links to Car Fax, ect. Easiest site to sort by multiple filters. All IMO.

I like cars.com. That is where I found my private seller 2019Z. They had a better selection than other sites.

I like auto-trader the best for private party sales. Dealt with a few people on there when I was a buyer and had a great experience and the interface, links to the car history and how you are able to communicate with the seller were all good.

I used them all looking for my dream Vette. I found my beauty on Car Gurus. Doesn't mean they are the best but I found mine through them. Best Of Luck on your sale!

Last year I had one of our Hellcats on Autotrader, Craigslist and a few Facebook ads. after a month I listed it Buy IT Now on Ebay and was gone in a week for same asking price as everywhere else. Ca to Ohio with a truckload of Lambo's.
Personally I have now sold 3 cars on BaT and like that platform.

Facebook Marketplace. I've sold about 4 cars on the platform over the last couple of years one of which is a C5.
The secret is you can't just post the car, you have to advertise it. Pay Facebook to sell it.
I averaged about $100 in advertising to sell a car on the platform.
As any platform, weed out the tire kickers and the scammers and pick the serious buyers. Just be smart!!

When I was searching, I only used Cars.com, Autotrader and CarGurus because I found these to be the easiest sites to use. Ended up finding my GS on Autotrader. I quickly made an account so I could communicate with the seller until we exchanged phone numbers.

for the last 15 years i've made 4 purchases off cargurus, all within 25 miles!!
plenty to look at, miles driven, # of owners, most with carfax. set year range, xmsn + a few other parameters.
i wasn't interested in private sales, too much potential for misrepresentation of vehicle!!

So you bought 4 cars within 25miles and they were all from dealers? I would think your Private Seller statement holds true more for a dealership,lol They don't call them stealerships for nothing, plus if you found those cars that close to you, you obviously checked them out in person?
one owner before dealer...18yrs-11 months, dealer oil changes 2500 miles, all fluids changed twice over 81k, when i got it. both tops, immaculate in/out!! gmc dealer!!
2 owner c7/2014 vert z51 3lt, 18k before dealer, carfax, beautiful in/out, mechanical warranty 90 days.autonation
these last 2 were a dream come true.
