Where do you look when you're buying a car? online? paper? dealer?

I am trying to sell my car and would really like to do it privately.  I'd like to reach the largest audience possible but I'm not sure where most people would look, initially, to buy a car.  Thanks for your help!

Craigslist and auto trader are how I have sold our cars before.  The paper was useless the last time I tried it.  You can also hire someone here to do it for $400 which is kind of worth it, depending.  He is better at negotiating and takes the emotion out of it (if you are inclined to have them, I am not).

I've sold a few cars on Craigslist and bought one as well. Check out edmunds.com and kbb.com to price it private party.

Dealership for cars and trucks.  I want the warranty.  I've never bought a used vehicle because I lease...but DH has bought a couple and it has been from the dealership.  He used a trade in.

Buying other things (tractor, camper, trailer, etc) then we check Craigs List.
