Kept me in the know about the used auto market back in the 90s.

Flipping through autotrader was the first time I had that moment we all have eventually - “I should buy an XJ-S V12, look how cheap they are! Actually, no, I shouldn’t do that...look how cheap they are.”

Side note, they take the photos? How did that work?

Yeah. If you had a single-photo ad, you could take it to their offices and someone would take a picture. In the Charlotte area, there was one on the south end and one up near Lake Norman.
They’d also send a photographer to dealers that contracted with them. I applied for that job when I was 19 but didn’t get it.

Apparently you never thumbed through an autotrader in the 90s.
W-bodies abound.

Ah, I just looked up when the W-Body was introduced. I stand corrected.
