Well, I'm searching for a used car and I have to say that I am stumped. Where oh where in the Triangle are all the ads posted by real people selling their cars? I have a dread fear of dealers and would rather avoid them at all costs. I've tried the newspaper websites (N & O and Herald-Sun), but there's very little there. I've tried cars.com and the like but those websites are almost entirely inhabited by dealers.

If you are not familiar with this free online site to buy or sell locally you need to check it out. Just google it and link to our state/city. Most of what we buy or sell used goes through Craigslist.

If you look near the cash registers in any convenience store, you'll see car and other merchandise booklets listing things for sale, many with photos. Some of them are free, but others are a couple bucks. It is pretty entertaining to see what folks are selling!

I sold my last 3 cars through cars.com so I'm surprised to hear you say it seemed to be mostly dealers.
