Your completely fucking crazy, im convinced.

Autotrader is for selling vehicles. Dealers use it. Individuals use it. Its a service that directly deals with a single entity, vehicles. Theres nothing redneck about it.

Craigslist is the main place where rednecks go to sell their unwanted, dirty, run down shit to other rednecks.

I would never go to Craiglist to look for a late model car. Most of those people selling on there don't seem to take care of their cars, hence using a free site to do so. The people on autotrader seem to have a better attachment to their vehicles.

Besides you get sick of looking for a car on craigslist and finding chevy,olds,honda,subaru,accord,blue,black etcetcetc in every post...It gets fucking old.

2008 Cadillac STS - Carmax - 17,000 vs. 24,600 at a dealer.
2008 Chevy Aveo - Carmax 7,000 vs. 9,500 at a dealer.
2002 Acura TL - Carmax 7,000 vs. 9500 at a dealer.

CarMax personnal are basically high-schoolers who know little about what they sell. And then when they need to fix anything body related, they are spraying it in the back with people who don't know how to do a quality job. Top this off by these guys ONLY looking at the fucking insurance data (Carfax) saying that the "frame was straightened", but when asked to point out where, cannot. I'm not impressed.

You can get a dealer to give you much better deals than Carmax..you just have to tell them what you want up front, then haggle to get it (this might take a few hours to do).

Dude, if someone is a true redneck, they wouldn't even know Craigslist exists (or they only found out about it just recently).

When Craigslist first came out, only hipsters used it. Flash forward a few years, and now you're saying it's been magically transformed into a redneck site? That doesn't make sense.

AutoTrader used to be a paper tabloid sitting in fucking gas stations for the last 50-60 years probably. That's how redneck it was. Now they have a website of course, but it's slow and the search function sucks IMO.

Craigslist SUCKS for finding vehicles, period. There is absolutely no search criteria...

Craigslist is a place you go to buy a used treadmill or shit like that.

Craigslist search function may bring in a lot of unwanted shit, but that is why you limit it to "autos" and sort in descending order of price. And at least it's not chock full of ads and other shit that slows down your computer.

We put the wife's bike on C/L for 2 weeks and got plenty of low ball BS replies.
One day on M/C trader and it sold. I'm convinced.

Eh, sold 3 bikes on CL and didn't have any issues. And I fail to see why lowballers wouldn't exist on any other site. Just ignore them.
