Finding the perfect car just got a lot easier. Now when you search on AutoTrader.com, you can sort your results by distance. Want to stay close to home during your car hunt? Choose "Near to Far" for your results. Willing to cross the country when it comes to getting your dream vehicle? Choose "Far to Near." It's a small change that will add big convenience to your experience.

Want to know what your dream car costs? Looking for something that will get high gas mileage with a low price tag? With our Build & Price feature, you can create the car you want, including all the options and colors that are important to you. The new Build & Price feature makes it easy to design the car you'll use for cross-town trips to the grocery store or cross-country trips to the Grand Canyon. It's quick, simple and a great way to equip yourself with valuable knowledge for when it's time to make a purchase.

Choosing between cars can raise lots of questions. Which one has the best horsepower? Which has the most legroom? Which one fits your life best? Unfortunately, lining up vehicles for a comprehensive comparison is challenging since Dealer A won't let you bring Dealer B's car on the lot for a side-by-side look.

That's why we created the new compare feature on AutoTrader.com. Now, in a matter of seconds, you can evaluate thousands of cars against each other to narrow down your options. We'll show you the key differences between each one, lay out the cost, and help you make the best decision.

Private sellers can now advertise their cars more prominently on the AutoTrader.com search results pages with Premium and Spotlight listings. These highly visible ad positions, previously available only to dealers, can now be purchased when you Sell Your Car.

What are Premium Listings?

Premium listings appear first in a search results page and are the largest listings with the biggest thumbnail photo. They provide consumers with the most vehicle information, descriptions and seller information. Premium listings are shown above Featured and Standard.

What are Spotlight Listings?

Spotlight listings showcase cars at the top of the search results page. Until now, Spotlight listings were only available to dealers.
