Autotrader is currently down. I wonder what their uptime statistics are like, I have a feeling this is not a coincidence. The downtime could be used for scrubbing trafficking ads, in case they've been knowingly facilitating trafficking per this comment.
Edit: It's a false alarm, my bad. I think they're unavailable to Tor users, and to archive.is robots. The one working archive.is backup is not coming from Autotrader directly but was cross-archived by me from archive.org which apparently has no problems archiving pages from Autotrader. I have confirmed from a normal browser that they are indeed available.
All these links are driving me nuts - perhaps it was just sold? There was a link to the car's history on one of the pages.
I think the authorities should be informed - even just on a precautionary basis. We could have stumbled on a link in the trafficking chain. It is sacrifice time!
Grab the resulting URL and archive that on archive.is. Archive.is is smart enough to know it's an archive.org link, and will make a copy of the archive itself without the archive.org frame.

Here's one for you with the deleted ad.
The process to archiving things on archive.is that seem to only be archived properly on archive.org seems to be this:
