Autotrader

One of the most popular and highly-rated sites is Autotrader. Not only has this resource been around for more than two decades, but its simple format lets you customize your search to filter vehicles by as few or as many criteria as you desire. For example, you can search by make, model, and price, as well as by special features like heated seats or roof racks.  

Autolist

Per Digital Trends, this website gets rave reviews for mobility. It’s a good place to start your search, especially if you prefer to browse potential buys via your smartphone via Autolist’s iOS or Android app. Besides offering intuitive search methods, this website also lets you view the Carfax report, as well as how long the model has been on the market. You can also view price changes over time so you can make an informed offer when the time comes to bargain with the seller.  

CarGurus

One advantage to this website is that it ranks used-vehicle ads by dealer reputation, as well as by price. It also informs you about a vehicle’s true market value, so you can expand your search area if need be, to view a wider selection of available models. 

AutoTempest

This site is the “Kayak” of used vehicle websites, according to Digital Trends. It merges search results from popular sites like AutoTrader, Cars.com, CarsDirect, and others so you can view an extensive selection of autos in one place. AutoTempest will also let you save search results so you can access them later. 

CarsDirect

Another stellar choice for used car websites, CarsDirect provides filtered search options based on key preferences like make, model, body style, and price. You can also view the Carfax report, save favorite vehicles and search histories, and submit an online inquiry about a model you’re interested in. Maps with directions to each dealer’s location is an added bonus.
