When you search for cars - where are you looking?

I check CarGurus, local dealers (new and used lots), CarMax, Cars.com, TrueCar and AutoTrader

Where do you check?

Edit: Craigslist also.

It's alright. It also depends on what kind of car I'm looking for. Craigslist is better if you're looking for older cars, such as 90s BMWs. Auto trader tends to work pretty well for certified to old(

I used autotrader, cargurus and cars.com, but recently found my '04 MCS by searching Google for MINIs in the closest city.

I found my MINI on CL.
But I like to "window shop" on various sites, including Autotrader, Carmax, Bring a Trailer, and local dealership sites.
