What website has the most/best used car listings?

Lots of sites have listings of locally available used cars. Aside from Craigslist (which is spotty where I live), what site do you feel is most widely used and provides the best variety of listings, especially of cars being sold by a dealer (of any size)?

Kelley Blue Book is a very comprehensive resource for automobile purchasing, and is respected by the industry for accurately pricing used vehicles. There's search features within the site for local listings. You may also want to check your local classifieds, ebay motors, craiglist, etc, then evaluate them against KBB to see if the price is reasonable.

autotrader.com - I sold my car through them a few years ago and had no complaints.

When I was looking for a car, I used autotrader.com, cars.com - but there wasn't much in my area at the time.
Where I had the best luck was craigslist and the local classified.
Check your local newspapers online (or buy them) and see what they have.
