Autotrader.com

This company is nothing but a fraud! I had trouble getting my withdrawal approved, and their support personnel was completely unhelpful. They even wanted me to pay for the liquidation. Fortunately, S I M O N C H *C O M stepped in and helped me recover my investment and profits in only a few days.

You are selling your car?
I would not recommend wasting your money and time on this platform and FB marketplace.
They need your money and that's it.
Just go to car vana.

I would give zero stars if I could. If you plan to place an ad, DON'T. You will get nothing but illegitimate inquiries. Scams. AutoTrader does NOT screen these inquiries. I placed an ad in the morning and within an hour my email was blowing up with messages from AutoTrader about an inquiry. All fake or scammers. They would not refund my $49 for the Ad. Oh, and they have the worst customer service.

Paid to list a vehicle for sale on their site. Received a constant supply of scam buyers. No legitimate buyers. Contacted customer service, they did not care at all that their site was solely providing scammers trying to swindle my vehicle. Refused refund and did not even offer an apology.

I put an ad on auto trader and was not happy with their service. After four days, I asked for a refund of $49 and was declined. I got scammer responses and as an elderly person, I fear for my safety. I have had no problems with Facebook marketplace and get many legit responses without paying for an ad. Auto trader is very rigid and not helpful at all. They are in it for the money. I would suggest not to go that route.

Don't waste your money on this site. Very few legitimate inquiries. Most are from dealers who will low ball the heck out of you even though I specified I did not want dealer bids. And you will be constantly harassed by the "Auto Seller Exchange" "service" they offer that is deceptive as all get out. It is easy to inadvertently sign up for this which will cost you hundreds of more dollars. It constantly comes up when you will try to check for any offers. Facebook and Craigs List produced more activity although the low ball dealers are their also. At least I didn't pay $45.00 for the harassment.

After 3 weeks I've had 6 inquiries, all scammers. They ask details that are in the ad then offer to send a certified check with a promise to send for the car once it's cleared. I never went that far but it's complete waste of time and money.

Placed an adv over a year ago and was contacted by scammers only. One made it through and got my DL after sending my a fraudulent certified check. My DL was then used by the scammer in effort to purchase other honest people cars (they posted on autotrader and contacted me independently once got my DL). All my repeated attempts to get autotrader fraud unit to help failed, attempts to get formal letter in support of changing my DL by the DMV failed - be aware - you are on your own!

When I bought my jeep from someone online I was charged $200 for an escrow fee. They issued me a temporary plate and then took almost 2 months to send me the title and registration in the mail. If I just had the guy give me the title, I could have had it done within two days, instead of driving around with cardboard taped to my car as a temporary license plate. As far as I remeber, they told me my paperwork would be shipped to my door within a week. DO NOT BUY through their platform--pay cash or do something else if you dont want your time and money wasted--$200 to wait two months to get a license plate on the car--crazy!

Autotrader was fantastic. Then for some reason, they added a lot of clutter and unnecessary " qualifiers and tools ". I use it daily for a second job. I use it enough to understand they do not pay attention to their own site well enough to grasp how useless most of it has become. Firstly, the header takes take up too much space, the search parameters should be better focused on realistic distance of 350 mile increments, default should be NEW, NATIONWIDE, LOWEST PRICE.
Models not currently produced should be removed, and trim levels should be listed IN ACTUAL ASCENDING ORDER. Colors NO ONE MAKES should be removed, AND THEY NEED PROOF READERS TO MAKE SURE LISTINGS ACTUALLY HAVE WHAT THEY LIST ie... sunroof, leather etc ( cloth is not leather). They also add used cars to the NEW search you perform...WHICH IS JUST LAZY AND UNPROFESSIONAL.
The entire site could be uncluttered and cleaned up to actually operate quicker and smarter.
