When you’re in the market for a ‘new to you’ vehicle you have to do some research.You need to figure out your budget, what kind of car you are thinking about, what brand, what year and so much more.Then you have to try and find the vehicle.Where Do You Look?Hopefully you are not still driving across town from dealership to dealership.
These days the search is done online.Here are some of the best websites to find used vehicles in your area.There are older classic platforms like ebay.com and craiglist.com that have a dedicated automobile section, then there are also dozens of websites like autotrader.ca, cargurus.com The Kelley Blue Book and cars.com that are designed purely for trading used vehicles and automotive accessories.Then there are also a couple places that might surprise you.Facebook in particular has become a popular trading platform and swap and shop resource for connecting locals with shopping deals in their area through the facebook marketplace.It has since become one of the most popular used car trading networks for people to shop locally.
While Facebook might be the most widely used software of the group it was never designed for selling cars so its search functions can be limiting.Similarly Ebay and Craigslist are intended to sell an incredible variety of items and while they have automobile pages and sections, their search functions were never really designed purely for automobiles.Auto trader and the other automobile marketplace websites are actually built to optimize your automobile search and help you narrow things down by a variety of categories through filters and advanced searches.You can view thousands of listings by distance from you, from private sellers to dealership listings.You can search with filters for the year, the cars maximum or minimum mileage, the make and models.
You can even search by drivetrain or number of doors.What If The Perfect Car Is Too Far Away.Well thats where car hauling comes in.
There’s an entire delivery industry for moving cars to new buyers.Car Transporters will pick up your car from the private sellers or dealerships and deliver your new vehicle to your home or any pickup location near you.Companies like Focus Car Transporters specialize in trucking, with large trucks travelling across the country to bring you that new vehicle.The price range can vary widely depending on how far it needs to go.
Anywhere from $250 for a smaller trip to around $1000 for a cross country trip.If you are saving thousands of dollars on getting the perfect vehicle that fits your budget, the added cost of hiring car transporters just might be well worth it for you.When you consider this allows you to widen your search range from somewhere you would be willing to travel, to across the entire country instead, this opens up thousand more options in the used car market.Suddenly you’re not choosing between the twenty local options of your choice of make and model but thousands nationwide at no added effort to you.
