Many car dealers give listings on both websites – Cars.com and Autotrader.com to increase the possibility of car sale.
Besides these websites, there is a special car section on the well-known internet auction – eBay. Unfortunately, at the present moment it is seldom possible to see the car auction going on eBay, because dealers prefer to list their cars for the fixed price, and eBay acts as a show-window.
Distinctive feature of the lots, presented on eBay, is that report from Autocheck database is automatically attached to its description for free.
