I haven't had to look for automobiles for a really really long time and have no idea where people do this now.

I buy certified pre-owned from the dealership. Got a pretty good deal on my Audi and it came with a warranty. I think I saw the listing on Autotrader.

Dealers resell the best tradeins. If they have any issues or high mileage, they go down a pecking order of used car sales. The bottom of the barrel are those lots with the plastic triangle flags -any car there is a piece of shit.
