Q: Auto Classifieds?
I’m trying to sell my Civic but right now I’m just trying some free classifieds like craigslist to sell it. But that’s about the only one I can really find that seems decent so what are some good ones you guys use? It’s a B18C1 Civic if anyone is interested also!

A: Craigslist.com is the biggest and best free classifieds. Anything else such as eBay, AutoTrader, or newspaper will cost you money.

Q: Where can I find local nj auto classifieds listed by private owners WITHOUT the “noise” ads placed by dealers?
Online classified ads listing autos for sale are getting ridiculous, with all the dealers crowding the sites with their ads. Where are the private owners/sellers?

A: search on craigslist.com and make sure you search under

Q: Do you think there is room on the net for a niche auto classifieds site where every listing is under $10,000?
I just launched www.DirtCheapMotors.com where you can do just that for free!
Well it will eventualy include Boats, Motorcycles, RV’s and Powersports all under $10,000

A: When you need to buy a used car there are so many places on the Internet. The best sites that list used cars are cars.com, autotrader.com and craigslist.com. You can select by price on all these sites. What will make your site unique – that is the challenge.

Q: Best website to find cheap auto classifieds?
I am melting my brain trying to find a good website for auto classifieds. I want the kind where private owners post their cars and try to sell them for reasonable prices. All I seem to be finding are listing from car dealerships or people asking for ridiculous amounts. I am looking for a used (possibly even dinged up) 1993 ford ranger and I am having trouble finding them on the internet for less than $3800, which of course is ridiculous because I wouldn’t pay more than than $1000 for a small, 16 year old pickup truck with 100,000 miles.

A: There are a lot of options available to you on the internet where you can buy and sell your car. Auto classifieds seem to be an ideal form of advertising where you can promote your vehicle with a detailed description with the image of your car. You can also check out Tell-N-Sell.com which allows you to post your auto classifieds for free. They publish a classified newspaper “Tell-N-Sell Shopper” which has the largest selection of Free Savannah Classified ads in the Coastal Empire.

Q: I need SUV’s auto classifieds from regular people selling them in NY, not dealers,anyone can give me a clue?

A: Try yahoo classifieds, craigslist, or, depending where you are in NY, you could try the pennysaver.

Q: The best online classifieds (auto,realestate)4 louisiana, and texas?

A: I don’t know about best but for Louisiana, check out nola.com for everything in the new orleans area, 2theadvocate.com for baton rouge and http://www.gannett.com/web/newspapers.htm for links to most of the other papers in Louisiana….

because other than the newspapers and the local paper auto sales (news on wheels is one in south Louisiana which has dealer ads online at www.newsonwheels.com) that’s all most use in Louisiana.. no real online services that I am aware of that is centralized for multiple sellers

Q: Do you think my new auto classifieds websites could change how dealerships conduct online business?
My websites are new and fairly unknown for the most part:
http://www.sellmyride.ca
http://www.sellmyride.us

http://www.sellmyride.eu

I allow both private sellers and dealerships to list their cars, trucks, ATVs, boats, RVs, motorcycles and more for free.

Now, I realize that me listing my sites here will not bring me a lot of new “business” and may even be frowned upon by some but I would really appreciate your opinion on whether or not my new sites could maybe even lower prices on cars just a little bit.

How would my sites do this?

Well I am thinking that if dealers no longer have to pay upwards of $4000 a month just to list their inventory on other sites this could potentially save them upwards of $48,000 a year in advertising costs. Shouldn’t this lower prices on cars for all of us just a little bit? Or at the very least give everyone a good chance on getting some extras when negotiating with a dealer?

What do you think? A good idea? Yay or nay?

Thank you.

A: Anything is possible but you will need to spend alot of money to get this site on the top of the first page while surfing when someone whats to list their vehicle and also you will need to get this to all dealerships but at the same time you are competing against some very large and well known places that have been around for many years and the cost that the dealerships are paying they use that as a write off on their taxes, but your site does look good…………….

Q: I need top 100 classifieds website – general & theme (industry) wise?
need list of classifieds websites (top ones) by general (all types) and category wise like real estate classifieds, auto classifieds, etc..

A: Tell your teacher that you’re unwilling to do your homework and don’t deserve credit for the assignment.

Q: i want to know the code of auto incrementing a field prefixed by a string?
I am developing a classifieds website…i hav a table called real estate. In that table, when ever a user submits an advertisement. I want a field that is auto incremented but prefixed by a string

For Example :

RL1
RL2
RL3

etc. Please help..

I want codes in either PHP or MY SQL. I hv tried enough. It does’nt work

A: It doesn’t work because autoincrement doesn’t work like that. It’s a numerical field and function in MySQL and you can’t alter it.

You could add a column in your table called “prefix” and set the value to whatever you like (such as a fixed value, or some alpha value based on some condition). Then, when you want to display the prefix and the incremented value, you just cat them together using PHP after fetching them from the table.

Q: What is a good way to sell my car? Online? Classifieds?
Don’t want a lot of Spammers! Craigslist hasn’t worked. Should I try Vehix or Auto Trader? Should I use my newspaper?

A: I think you’re going about this slightly wrong.

Craigslist didn’t fail you.

What happened was you did not list the car in such a way to attract buyers. Poor title, poor asking price, something of that nature.

As an experiment, list it up, for $100. I guarantee, you’ll get tons of responses.

Ebay and CL are the two main ones. With a lot of people moving to CL.

As far as spammers, that’s just the way it goes. If you publish something publicly, people can respond to it. Legit or not.

The newspaper….is a dying breed. Sure, some people still look at it. Not a single person I know does.

Q: made a website, what are the steps to promote it?
finally i made a auto classifieds website, all auto ads will be free for dealers and private sellers. The website is for the usa.

How do i promote it? People wont go there because theres no cars, dealers wont post because people dont go there, (yet). so how do i get it started? any ideas and suggestions?

A: Call a reporter for a local newspaper. Ask if she will interview you. It is perfect for the Saturday newspaper when news is slow. Everyone will discover you..

Q: how do I add drop down menus to my website?
this website is for a auto classifieds, so i want multiple drop down menus, like in auto trader or msn autos where in one drop down menu you select a car make and the next menu gets activated and from it you can select the different car models….(I will be using iweb, imageReady, and dreamweaver)
