Where did you find your most recent pre-owned vehicle?

As mentioned in other posts, I am in the market for a new-to-me vehicle.

How did you source your most recent preowned vehicle? I want to hear from people who have transacted (paid money for) a used vehicle. For example, surfing BaT for entertainment purposes, and not paying money for a BaT-listed vehicle, doesn't count. U.S.-centric question.

I found both of my current vehicles on cargurus, followed by text messaging to agree on a price and deal conditions, then a physical meeting to inspect the vehicle, pay and sign docs.

Sites that seem high quality in my view:

cargurus
autotrader
brand-centric country-wide dealer sites (e.g. MBUSA.com, and others)
brand-centric enthusiast site classifieds (mbworld, etc.)
craigslist
local dealer websites

What other sites are out there with reasonable quality listings?

I don't do "the book". Thanks for any input.
