OUR AUDIENCE
TIMING IS EVERYTHING
With two-thirds of our users still undecided on
make and model, our in-market audience comes
to AutoTrader.com not just to find the best value,
but to explore all their options. Shoppers don’t see
AutoTrader.com as an alternative to OEM sites,
but as a complement. By offering consumers the
unique ability to compare new and used vehicles
side-by-side, AutoTrader.com gives you a better
shot at converting used-car “fence-sitters” to
new-car buyers.
