There's your problem right there... no one is using Everycarlisted.com. I've worked in this industry a long time and I've never heard of it. I even did a search of Acura RDX's and Toyota Camry's within 500 mile of Arlington, VA and it shows 0 cars. Which is an outright lie. They just have no partnering dealers that feel the need/value to put their inventory on there.

Stick to Cars.com or other main industry listing sites.

I also tried checking individual dealer-stock in the D.C. area on their web-sites.....no dice. Maybe they just aren't loading up their own web sites. But no sense going back and forth all day long about it. If they have some in stock, fine...if not, we'll just wait. For the most part, we'll have to wait until life gets back to normal anyway. On that note, I'm moving on.

You once recommended the site to me (which I appreciated), and, for the most part, it has worked OK. Perhaps the pandemic has disrupted it as much as it has many other things in the auto business.

I forgot all about that. However, the majority of those who buy these cute-utes are hipster-commuters- getting them with FWD. At least here on the west coast.

Since you are in CA, are you in the L.A. region? If so, I can understand the lesser appeal of AWD there, though some of the mountain roads inland from the city might get slick spots on occasion.
