Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Autotrader Stinks

[Dave Craig (dave.craig]

Larry,

Thanks.  Here is what I got when I asked that question.

<<Dear Dave, 


Thank You for using Autotrader.com. In order to place an ad for a Ferrari,
the ad would be placed on Autotraderclassics.com. This site would actually
house classic, collector as well as exotic  vehicles. 

If we may be of further assistance please contact Private Seller Services
Monday through Saturday from 8am-11pm and Sunday 10am-4pm Eastern at
1-866-AUTOTRADER (866-288-6872).

I wish you the best of luck in selling your car, and thanks again for
choosing AutoTrader.com.

Sincerely,

Thomas Burke

Dave

You might not want to use Autotrader at this point, but I sent them a email 
asking why Ferrari is not listed on the "List For Sale" pull down menu when 
it's listed on the other search menu's.   Will be interesting to see why 
they left it out -

Will let ya'll know what they say.
