About this app

Shop Used Cars, Trucks, SUVs

Whether you’re looking for a new, certified, used car or truck near you, it’s all here. With over 20,000 sellers in our network and over 6 million cars to shop, if you can’t find it on the Autotrader app, it might not exist. Be confident the price is fair with Kelley Blue Book® Price Advisor on every Autotrader listing. The Autotrader app is your solution for finding the right car or dealer, no matter where you are.

Personalization

We’ll help personalize your car shopping experience. Pick up where you left off or get recommendations based on features you care about. You can even sign up for alerts on price drops and get notified when new listings that match your search criteria are added.

Our unique filters stand out from the rest. Want to shop for cars from the comfort of your home? Try the Delivery to Your Door filter. These vehicles can be shipped to your front door and you’ll never have to visit the dealership. If you’re looking for a specific interior color, we have that too. We understand that the exterior color is not the only color that matters. You can filter down to specific technology, safety and exterior features like roof racks. Be as specific as you need and let our filters do the work.

Shop All the Cars

With our huge network of sellers and cars, we make it easy to compare and track the cars you like, plus get vehicle info and condition reports (when available) along the way. Want to know if the price listed on a car is a good deal or not? Look for the Good Price or Great Price green badge in the top right corner of the listing. Shopping for used cars and trucks is a breeze with the Autotrader app, and it’s all in the palm of your hand.

Ratings and reviews

The new version 4.0 loses a lot of the functionality and ease-of-use that previous versions had. Examples I ran into include no discernable way to login into one's account. I can't find a link to login anywhere. One would think a login link would appear on the landing page. Not anymore. Also, there is no way to share a link to a vehicle. At least none that I could find. I guess you figured no one could possibly be shopping for a car for someone else and need to share a link? Really?

Log in doesn't work, logs you into an external browser, so this is essentially useless. Might as well just browse on the mobile website. I otherwise really like the app layout. It's just a shame I can't use it to save searches. Edit 1: "Autotrader, Inc. August 3, 2021 You can now save searches and vehicles without logging in or creating an account. Login is now available in the latest version (4.1) of the app. Tap the "More..." button and you will see login at the top of the screen. Once logged in, you will have access to both your previous and new saves and you will stay logged in. We hope this helps." This essentially reads as "yes, our app is broken, BUT it's not as broken as it could be. Also, that thing you just said doesn't work? Well it does work! Just do what you already did and things will be different!" Except that they're not. Nothing has changed. Here's the thing, y'all. You can only save so many searches when not logged in, and when you're looking for a car on a budget, you save everything that you can. I maxed out my saves in a matter of minutes. I should just be able to log in like normal (which I cannot, as I mentioned in the initial post). A more helpful response would be, "Thank you for bringing this to our attention. We'll actually just work on the thing you're concerned about rather than deflect and ignore your actual concern." Droppin' a star for that. You've been a household name for decades, guys. You can do better than this.

I have used Autotrader for years, both to buy and sell vehicles. This latest update... Makes the experience horrible! Quick note to Autotrader- This is how you lose people forever! There's a lot of competition out there, and if this isn't fixed soon, I'll just figure out what other thing works reasonably well for me. And once I figure that out, why ever come back.?
