As we all know that Autotrader.com is the leading website when it comes to selling cars. Well we at AutoTalk.com gave them a shot to sell our car about a year ago.

After logging into the website we saw a few options and the best one was “Run ’til It Sells ” now for $69.99.

Like most private sellers we saw that and knew that’s the one we wanted because we were not sure when our car will sell. To us, run till it sells mean the ad will be there UNTIL our car is SOLD.

Apparently not. We were locating our ad yesterday and couldn’t find it. Called Autotrader.com and were informed that even though it is run until it is sold, it expires in one yet.

What kind of run until sold is this? False marketting? you bet. They need to change the name from Run Until It’s sold to Run for a year or something to avoid confusing average private seller.

So now our car was NOT sold in a year and we have to cough up another $69.99 if we are to list again.

So here is the question: Have you run into this before with AutoTrader.com? We would love to hear about your views and comments both positive and negative.
