Default Used car websites

I'm looking for a used Vette Grand Sport convertible with manual transmission; either 2LT or 3LT. What are the best websites I should be using to look for such a car? I've tried the generic website searches and haven't found much so far. Thanks.

I found our '00 C5 FRC via autotrader.com back in '02. When I started looking for our C7 I tried cars, autotrader, craigslist, and cargurus.com.

Found it on autotrader, although please recognize I'm not saying the others are bad.

If AT was what you were meaning by "generic", then I think you just need to have some patience and persistence on finding your new car.

HTH, and have a good one,
Mike

The sites previously mentioned are probably the best, but here are some others:
Carmax, autolist, getauto and iSeecars. GLWYS!

Default Seek And Ye Shall Find

I sold my C1 and HD Fatboy on eBay. Worked slick both times. Maybe I was lucky? Maybe I was smart? I choose smart.

Don't forget that new startup website Carvana.com
We actually have one of their vending machines local here.

Cargurus / Ebay is where I found my car. Cargurus is the best!

Love me some AutoTrader surfing, even when not actively looking for a car. Found my most recent on eBay, though.

CArgurus is nice because you can see how long a car has been sitting on dealer lots which can help with negotiations. It helped me find my car.

I agree with AutoTrader. When I was searching I used several sites, only to find that Autotrader had the most listings. Most of the others were just duplicates. I landed up using AutoTrader and Cars.com focusing mostly on AutoTrader. I did try ebay, but found it's hit or miss. YMMV

AutoTrader.com & RVTrader.com is where I found and bought my last two used vehicles from.
