    I have done lot of research for classifieds site using wordpress
    WordPress is really good for classifeids website. but just city wise search features you can not find in WP like other top classifieds sites.
    pls see my classifieds sites in WP : kijijiclassifieds.in
    or
    adin.in

    The advantage of going with an out of the box classified Wordpress theme compared to the custom route is time and money. You may get custom coded classified site that does everything a Wordpress version will do but it'll cost ya an arm and leg in comparison ... not to mention the time factor.

    Wordpress specially designed for blogs only.you can do lot of things with WP but if you want to built a classified website you better take classified script instead of blog script.Wordpress is so popular because has good advantage at SEO.So better try SEO friendly classified scrip.That may solve your purpose,I think.

    You won't find an easier package to set-up and use that takes as little time or costs as much (FREE) anywhere. It seems the search engines love it too.

    Yes.

    Not to be a stick in the mud but that statement is patently absurd. I regularly churn out stuff with wordpress that has zero to do with being a blog.

    Static sites are more than possible with Wordpress and still benefit from the easy control panel and good EO built into the package.

    WP is very good, ahev a LOT of plugins and a lot of help and tips on the web.
    Most times you can use it as CMS without much problem.

    Ya, you can go with wordpress using a classified wordpress theme.
    But if you need a custom one need to invest more.

    WP is good but if it's more social, it will be better

    Joomla all the way, by far the best. Then just throw on 404sef component for SEF URLs

    WP is good but if it's more social, it will be better
    Definitely, Wordpress is the best platform for blogging.

    WordPress is good no doubt. It is easy to handle and also has many plugins. But if you need customized site then you have to spend some bucks.
