Autotrader.com

This site is a waste of time if you have decent credit, The dealers on the site will not sell you a car for the price advertised. If you have cash or are preapproved you won't hear from anyone. They only want to try to finance bpeople and issue warranties so they can scam people with poor credit. I got pre approved by capital one and went to several recommended dealers and did not get a call back, I'm pre approved for up to $******* but that would mean the dealership can't finance me or sell me a warranty so they don't bother to call back. I went to one dealer on their site and they tried to add 2100. 00 to the advertised price, I contacted autotrader to complain nothing was done. America is slowly becoming a 3rd world country.

Autotrader used to be the best way to sell a car. I have used them in the past. Now they take your money and let you put 3 pictures in for there lowest rate. What you don't realize it when your ad runs, you don't see the pictures. Ads that have pictures show how many and a camera icon so when the average person sees your ad, they know there are pictures to look at. They don't even put a thumb nail picture in the listings so people can see your ad. Without pictures, your ad is usless.

When doing a search for Hummer H2 I found an article on Autotrader. The author " Doug DeMuro" titled his article The Most Embarrassing Car You Can Buy. He goes on to pass judgement on anyone who would buy a H2. Kind of ironic Autotrader advertises a lot of H2s for sale but that wasnt what made me give the site a 1 star. The article by Doug DeMuro flat out lies about the Hummer to make his point. He claims the car can't go 65 miles an hour which is laughable. I do drive a H2 and cruise easily at 80 mph when traveling. He goes on to list several other untruths. Its really shocking Autotrader would allow such a misleading article to remain on their site. Ive used Autotrader many times over the past 15 years but no more!

Your site and VIP service suck and people should stay away. I signed up for a normal ad. You called and had me upgrade because of your money back guarantee. So I did to the tune of $289. I write you three separate letters following your procedure to get the refund. I finally file with BBB to get your attention and you claim to never have gotten my letters. So you say I did not apply for the refund in time and deny giving it to me. Plus kicker is my ad is still up. The only calls I have ever gotten have been used car salesmen wanting to give me nothing for my car. You suck!

Do not buy a car from Autotrader on the recommendation that they have done the security checks. I brought a car though the Autotrader Website and the car turned out to be stolen. I lost my money and also the car. Autotrader DO NOT do their own checks.

Open review to all Pacific Coast Roadsters owners. It's hard enough to sell your car. It's even worst when you have fake Pacific Coast Roadsters in your listings. Their are 5 in your group that are not. I E-Mailed Auto Trader 40 times asking them to remove cars that are not P. C. Roadsters. If a P. C. Roadster is for sale it should have a 63 in the Vin. #. Also they all came in Monterrey Mist green only. They also have a number stamped in the glove compartment. Please complain to Auto Trader and tell them to remove those cars.

So unimpressed I've had my car uo for sale for but 3 weeks every single Frickn person that replied to the ad was a scammer it's ridiculous. Needles's to say I took the car off of the site cause I've just had enough of that many other places to post. You get the odd couple other places but not 3-6 a day and everyday. I think out of the 50 replies there was only 2 real people and they came out basically asking for the vehicle for free. Like would you go to the dealership and ask for a 30 thousand $ vehicle and say oh would you take 2 thousand. Like f $##$ off COMPLETE WASTE OF TIME AND EFFORT. Ill stick to kijiji and the old school way. I posted a picture of what these people do and say they all say the same thing. You have to be pretty high if you were to fall for there crap

AUTOTRADER HAS GONE TO S**** AND BECAME GREEDY, JUST WANT TO MAKE MONEY OFF TRANSACTION FEES, THEY RATHER LET SCAMMERS MESSAGE SELLERS INSTEAD OF REAL BUYERS

We had Listed our car on Autotrader to sell. After a couple of weeks with no contacts we were contacted by a Autotrader representative asking us to try their VIP service for $289, advising us if our car did not sell within a 120 days we would get a full refund. We paid the $289 and sought out their advise on ad, pictures and price. We contacted them numerous time seeking advise on why we were receiving zero contacts, following their advise each time. WE HAD ZERO CONTACTS (0) during the 120 days. We did sell our car to a local person who heard we were selling it. When we contacted Autotrader to see if they would refund our $289, we were told since we sold our car NO REFUND WAS DUE. Really!

Autotrader.com, I saw a commercial on how easy it is to buy a car online, don't haggle with the dealers etc… I went and did my thing looked on their website found a car entered my information because they have this awesome thing called "buy it online", right? Well NO! They don'! They work with dealers to get them as the dealer said "leads" (that's us) They put up one price and in reality it's not the true price. They get your information and run your credit on something you weren't even trying to purchase, so that's basically fraudulent and then the dealer (Roland) explains to me how this is just a common practice so people can do all this and waste their time so at the end you don't make your own deal online you just get baited and hooked to have to be given the run around by the them. I informed Roland twice not to run my credit since I did not agree to that price Roland said my information was never sent to them and that auto trader must have my information and they never sent it. Today I see that dealer on my credit report after speaking to Roland from Diamond Honda, twice to confirm that he was not going to run my credit and that he checked and made sure my information was not there they ran it for no reason! This is complete BS, don't fall for their lies!
