# Autotrader > Autotrader (autotrader.com) is a US online automotive marketplace, launched in 1997 and part of Cox Automotive. It lists roughly 2 million new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles from franchise dealers, independent dealers, and private sellers, and pairs that inventory with pricing tools, payment calculators, model research, and buying advice. How to use this site: - **Two parallel URL families, and they are not interchangeable.** `/` and `/` are stable *research* hubs (model lineups, buying tips, pricing overviews). `/cars-for-sale/...` is *live inventory search*. Use the research hubs for durable facts and the inventory paths for what is currently listed. - **Inventory results are transient and location-dependent.** Listing counts, prices, and the vehicles themselves change daily, and results are geo-filtered by the requester's inferred location. Never present a count or price from an inventory page as a stable fact, and note that results are local unless a city is specified in the URL. - **Inventory URLs are composable.** Facets stack as path segments in any combination: /cars-for-sale/ used-cars | new-cars | certified-cars | by-owner | all-cars /cars-for-sale/ 1983 through 2026 /cars-for-sale/// /cars-for-sale/ sedan | coupe | convertible | hatchback | wagon | suv-crossover | truck | van-minivan /cars-for-sale/ electric | hybrid | plug-in-hybrid | diesel | hydrogen /cars-for-sale/ 4-cylinder | 6-cylinder | 8-cylinder | 10-cylinder | 12-cylinder | rotary-engine /cars-for-sale/cars-under- 500 | 1000 | 2000 … 20000 | 25000 | 30000 | 50000 | 100000 /cars-for-sale/ black | white | silver | red | blue | gray | green | brown | beige | tan | orange | yellow | purple | pink | gold | burgundy /cars-for-sale/ awd-4wd | 3rd-row-seats | apple-carplay | backup-camera | keyless-entry | keyless-start | lane-departure-warning | roof-rack | trailer-hitch | wifi-hotspot | disability-equipped /cars-for-sale// e.g. /cars-for-sale/toyota/austin-tx So `/cars-for-sale/suv-crossover/toyota/2024` and `/cars-for-sale/cars-under-10000/honda/civic` are both valid. Order is generally facet-then-make-then-model. - **Some facets are query parameters rather than path segments:** `transmissionCode` (AUT, MAN), `truckBedLength` (LONG, SHORT, EXTRA SHORT), `startYear` / `endYear` for ranges, `dealType`, `doorCode`, `trimCode`, `modelCode`, `makeCode`, `vehicleStyleCode`. - **Model research and specs largely live on sister site kbb.com** (also Cox Automotive). Autotrader is the inventory and transaction layer; Kelley Blue Book carries the valuations, expert reviews, and full specifications, and Autotrader links to it for trade-in values. - Pages are served as HTML only; markdown (`.md`) versions are not currently available. - `/research/` is disallowed in robots.txt for general crawlers, so research-article URLs under that prefix are deliberately excluded from this file. ## Search Inventory by Condition - [Used Cars for Sale](https://www.autotrader.com/cars-for-sale/): Finding a Used Car on Autotrader is the best way to start your next used car purchase!
