What do you think?

There are tons of fake ads on Autotrader.

Some people are probably dumb enough to put up deposits or whatnot on them.

fffaaakkkkkeee.

If you call i bet they will say something like the car isnt in town, but if you put a deposit they will ship the car in from wherever. Or something along those lines, either way, youll pay and never see a car.

I have tried Autotrader when buying car and dog. After a couple replies from the 'seller' I now don't even bother looking there.

NO I had inquired about certain puppies, and SUVs but after I got the pre-canned replies I figure to not go the BuySell site. I didn't mean Autotrader, but BuySell.

I'm so confused. You enquired about puppies and an SUV's? You were looking for puppies that came with an SUV on Autotrader?

:confused:

So they are scams? Or are a bunch of Ads just false advertising by lots to get you to come in anyway?

If you ask yourself "is this a scam?" then it's generally 99% of the time a scam

maybe there should be a stickied thread about how it is, in fact, a scam

Check blackbook price of the car. If someone is selling below blackbook, something must be wrong.

Any dealer will gladly take the car at blackbook hassle free that there's no reason why private sales will be less.
