DEALER INVENTORY ISN'T THE DEAL

Autotrader and CarGurus alerts are mostly dealer inventory dressed up as "great deals."

Those sites make money from dealer listings, so that's what they show you first. CarHunter PRO isolates the actual private-party listings, including the ones Autotrader and CarGurus barely surface.

The problem

Why this is harder than it should be

Dealer listings dominate the results

Sponsored and dealer inventory crowds out the handful of private-seller listings mixed in.

"Great deal" badges are relative to inflated dealer pricing

A car flagged as a good deal against dealer comps can still cost more than the same car sold private-party.

Private-seller listings are a small slice of what they show

You're wading through pages of dealer stock to find the handful of private-party options.

Frequently asked questions

Do you still show Autotrader and Cars.com listings?

Yes, both are included — we just isolate the private-seller listings rather than mixing in dealer inventory.

Are private-party cars really cheaper?

Generally yes — there's no dealer overhead, reconditioning markup, or "market adjustment" fee baked into the price.

Can I still see dealer listings if I want to compare?

Our focus is private-seller listings, since that's where the pricing advantage typically is.
