Yeah i found my car on autotrader. I had been watching for a 4 or 5 months waiting to find a decent s14. I ended up seeing one that was posted a couple hours before i checked, called the guy, he said someone was coming the next day. So i went and looked at it the same night and gave him a check. I think I probably pissed off the other guy who wanted to look at it, oh well.

Yeah selling cars sucks, people always flake and bullshit. Autotrader is good but alot of carfax scammers use it. Alot of the cars have been wrecked and just never had a claim. Just make sure your buying off a private seller the dealers suck the only reason the cars are on autotrader is because its a peace and they cant sell it. Goes with buying a car period, dont let the seller force you to buy it like he prolly did to you by saying "I got a guy coming to look at it tomarow" Typical car salesman BS applying pressure to the wound persay.. Make sure its your thoughts that make you by the car and not the things they say to speed up the process.

found my coupe on autotrader, lol when i went there to look at it, it was cranking but wouldn't start. (i honestly didn't care cuz i was pulling the engine anyway) and one of the techs there was troubleshooting and actually took one of the fuel lines off and sucked it with his mouth cuz according to him it wasn't getting gas. it eventually started.
