Markets are pretty different across the US. Car buying/selling is local process. People tend to be willing to go roughly 50 miles to see a car if they're really serious about purchasing it. There are also differences in paperwork and requirements for selling a car, and how the market is made up. For example, from my experience, people in the midwest tend to finance their vehicles much more frequently than people on the west coast. It's not a huge deal, but does add additional wrinkles in the process.
