Excellent find! I would report it to the Chicago PD, but not alert AutoTrader because they must approve every single ad. I recently used AutoTrader to sell my car and they took about 24 hours to approve my ad, which means they should've caught and reported this themselves. It appears to me that they are complacent in such activities and need to be investigated themselves.

@Newfind OP you should be able to add this to your initial post, but alas you did a direct link. Too bad, and another reason to not do direct links - no ability to update. I think the fact that Auto Trader MUST approve every ad is extremely important.
Looks like you got a good lead on the sales/trafficking in plain sight - the good powers that be are watching here so IMO they'll already be following up on it whether it was new to them or not.
ah, we all are learning here - I just did a bunch of housekeeping of comments in the wrong place. You could wait awhile and repost as a text submission with a link and your updated info - I'm sure no one would object to it being reposted with the descirption you put in the comments ("well maintained" and etc), blue book info and other updates and etc.

I hope you're right. I'm going to keep scouring ads.

above someone suggested you screenshot this from the website immediately in a way that proves it was online as well in case it disappears.

Yeah, I've got some. I wonder if we should call the number and talk to them about the car? (Record it of course.)
