Whats a good website to look at used cars for sale?

You have to pay to get access to the sites that Avonlee mentioned.
The best sites I’ve found are www.autotrader.com and Google Base which is at www.google.com/base.
I hate Craig’s list because I’ve encountered two people who have tried to scam me on that web site.
You can also check out Ebay Motors!
I am interested in purchasing 67-69 camaros, 66-70 chevelles, cudas, etc. Any classic muscle cars. Will travel to purchase.
Nice selection of cars. I collect Camaros, currently my most expensive one is $14. Hopefully down the road though I’ll own a much more expensive one. I look at the classifieds alot and there are some sites worth checking into.

Hope these help
I am looking around to see which places are the best to find used cars that sale for eight hundred to one thousand dollars. I look at the goverment auction sites but I am still not sure which place are the best to buy a car that sale for that amount
Auctions are a great place to find cheap prices on cars. Look on eBay as well. Check the NickelAds, your local paper for cars under $1k, and check out AutoTrader or CarSoup.

I’m thinking about getting a job selling cars and want to know the best place to start as a beginner? Used cars, new cars? A large dealership or a small? I’m thinking new car sales due to needing to know my product and I’m also thinking a large dealership would be better due to all their exposure ie, advertising? Like I said this is just what I think and would appreciate your input as an experienced sales consultant.
I am not really a car salesman but I buy and sell cars on ebay and I also thought about becoming a salesman for a dealership so I will offer you my thoughts based on that.
Used car salespeople are among the most hated professionals. Mostly because people are not reasonable about their expectations of a used car but also because there have been and still are quite a few used car salespeople who don’t really care about screwing their customers.
And you also have to know a lot more about cars to start with since you will have to sell a lot more varied selection of brands and models.
As far as signing on with a dealership to sell new cars, make sure you believe in the brand you will sell. Sales (cars and anything else) are made through relationships that you develop with your customers and it is a lot easier to develop those if you don’t change brand on a regular basis.
Next you need to check out what deal they offer you to start with. Will they pay you a salary when you start or will you be on straight commission right off the bat? If there is a salary, how long will it last? Check out benefits too just as with any other job you would consider.
Last but not least, make sure you understand cars in relation to the area you live in. For example, if there was a Mercedes Benz dealership in your country town of 20,000 souls, even if those cars are great, you couldn’t expect to sell too many of them.
I have heard and read that women do pretty good in that business even though I can’t say have seen that many of them in dealerships… Who knows?
Hope that helps and good luck.
I have a 1987 Subaru Justy; it’s a terrific car that is mechanically sound and has tonnes of life left. Plus it’s my baby and I plan on keeping it forever.
However, the rear seat has sun damage and the driver seat is cracked and worn from wear. Also the carpet near the pedals has worn through. It looks ugly and I have seat covers, but it doesn’t look as good as having actual upholestry.
Where would I find seats for this car? I tried Ebay but there’s none. Also tried dismantling yards, but this car is pretty rare and couldn’t find any. Any websites you know of?
Also, once I find some, how hard is it for a "do-it-yourselfer" to take the old ones and bolt new ones in? It seems like it’d be just a number of bolts holding the seat and tracks to the floor.
Probably get them recovered cheaper, to match your colors. You’re talking a 20 year old car, so most seats will probably be in the same condition.
Front seats are just 4 bolts and maybe a wire connector. Rear seats are pretty simple as well.
You can try at this site. BTW, this is a great site for Subie owners.

Looking for cars from the 80’s and 90’s for sale
I look on Ebay…autotrader.com is good too.
There are thousands of used cars for sale on eBay every single
day. In fact, eBay Motors is the most profitable sales division
on eBay and naturally there are many entrepreneurs who are
interested in jumping into this market. For instance, eBay
claims it sells an SUV every nine seconds and is the biggest
online car dealer in America, exceeding the traditional car
companies. In fact, there are 15 million cars sold over the
Internet each year – and growing.
The recent rapid growth of the consignment business model has
made the used car market even more enticing. Many sellers are
able to sell cars they have never even seen and with no more
risk than the cost of the auction listing. Some negotiators even
persuade the car owner to pay for the ad, thereby risking no
more than their time.
The biggest single issue for this business model is the trust of
prospective buyers. After all, paying thousands or tens of
thousands of dollars for a car sight unseen is an awesome leap
of faith. Even buying for a plane ticket to go see a car before
paying causes buyers to be uncomfortable.
The best way sellers can overcome this fear is to use an escrow
service. The one chosen by eBay is Escrow.com, which handles
eBay auctions in the US and Canada.
An escrow service acts as a neutral third party. In an exchange
of merchandise, the buyer sends his money to Escrow.com and the
seller ships the product to the buyer. The buyer usually has two
days to inspect his purchase, and if he is happy, he notifies
the excrow company who releases the money to the seller, minus
its fee. If the buyer is dissatisfied, he returns the undamaged
merchandise to the seller, and after the seller receives his
merchandise back (in satisfactory condition), the escrow company
returns the buyer’s money. Thus both sides in the transaction
are protected. The buyer almost always pays the fees for this,
although sometimes buyer and seller split the cost.
Escrow.com has created its “Vehicle Services Division”
specifically for dealing with the used cars, trucks, SUVs and
almost anything else with wheels and a motor. The buyer can have
a 160 point inspection performed before agreeing to the
purchase. This is an inexpensive service and certainly will save
the buyer any headaches.
* The buyer pays a $125 fee that is non-refundable * The seller
is contacted and the inspection is carried out * The buyer
receives a report * The buyer chooses to go ahead with the
purchase – or not
Another choice for the buyer is to deposit his payment with
Escrow.com and then take delivery of the vehicle. The seller
ships the car after he knows the money is secure with the escrow
company. The seller must provide tracking information, which is
verified by Escrow.com.
The buyer has between one and 30 days to thoroughly inspect his
new purchase (the period is negotiated between the two parties
ahead of time). If this time expires and the escrow company has
not heard from the buyer, it assumes he is happy and gives the
purchase price to the seller.
The buyer may return his vehicle if he isn’t happy and sometimes
buyers and sellers work out partial payment agreements, the
buyer being satisfied with some parts of the transaction, but
not with others. If a dispute arises, it is settled by the
American Arbitration Association.
The fee for this service is:
* $0 – $7,500 = value of vehicle: $125 * $7,500.01 to $15,000:
$170 * $15,000.01 to $30,000: $200 * $30,000.01 to $50,000: $275
* $50,000+ = 6% of the value
Once both parties have agreed, the title transfer process begins
and Escrow.com will guarantee this too, for a fee of $95. Title
transfers are handled by Centerpoint Diversified Services which
works in all 50 states. The fee, naturally, doesn’t include any
transfer costs – it is only insurance that the title will be
expedited to the satisfaction of both parties.
Escrow.com also offers a service that will ship cars almost
anywhere in the world and will gather an auto history report to
inform sellers if their new chariot has been salvaged or stolen,
suffered flood or hail damage, been in a fire or accident, has
had an odometer rollback or has been used as a police car, a
rental or a taxi.
Anyone considering offering used cars for sale on eBay would be
well advised to thoroughly learn the services available through
Escrow.com and offer those to prospective buyers. The trust
factor will skyrocket and your chances of completing sales will
dramatically increase

I need a manual transmission car under $2000 that will run. I’ve tried ebay, autotrader, craigslist… please list if you have a car for sale that meets my requirements and also if you know of any sites.
If you have the cash to purchase this car, hit the used car managers of dealers near you, you are the holy grail of buyers–one who is actually looking for a manual transmission, these are generally just dead as far as wholesale goes and somewhat hard to retail. tell them you want to buy it with a drive first. I know I let sales persons put together used car buyers and new car trade-ins to help consummate more sales. I couldn’t have been the only one that practiced it.
