Welcome to WebmasterWorld! All of your pages will probably never be indexed. Often with extremely large sites you will not achieve 100% indexing. Here are some ways to help increase the percentage of your site that the search engines will index:
-Submit a sitemap (submitting doesn't guarantee indexing)
-Interlink your pages
-Make sure there is significant unique text
-Develop external links deep into your content good luck!

Site maps do not get pages indexed. It is just a way for you to give url's to google to add to its list to check. The best way for you to get all your pages indexed is to properly link your internal pages. Do not have more than 100 links on one page. If all your pages have a template and a tiny amount of unique material you will not get all your pages indexed. Reduce the footprint of your template and do something so that there is more unique text on each page. Your linking structure should look like a pyramid. Interlink your internal pages like wikipedia does as well.

RE: If all your pages have a template and a tiny amount of unique material you will not get all your pages indexed. Reduce the footprint of your template and do something so that there is more unique text on each page.
>> The footprint is relatively small on the individual ad pages. The unique text would be the details of the item for sale. RE: Your linking structure should look like a pyramid.
>> Not sure how to go about accomplishing this on a classified ads website. Content reflects pages that are unique to one another. RE: Interlink your internal pages like wikipedia does as well.
>> Seems like a big task, and again, most of the site's content reflects pages that are unique to one another.

In your case Craigslist is a good linking strategy.
