Although in days gone by everyone was accustomed to using Autotrader as their main way of buying an selling cars, times change. Not everyone is happy with the service that they get from placing an ad on Autotrader and really whether it provides value for money when you want to sell a car.
Now that the the Credit Crunch is around, people are looking to save money. So the question is, should you be spending up to £60 for selling your car on their site? Lets get on and review what you might encounter.
What alternatives are out there when it comes to selling cars? There is eBay Motors but this does have a bad reputation when it comes to selling cars that aren't wrecks. It has many car dealers auctioning off cars that haven't sold for good reason.
Broadly, there are two categories of sites that will advertise your car. First, there are the general classifieds sites which will advertise many different things, like jumble sales. Then there are the websites specifically aimed at selling your car online. Unsurprisingly, these are much better when it comes to showing off your car and providing relevant details for people looking to buy second hand cars.
An issue that has plagued Autotrader recently is that there are an increasing number of Autotrader scams are appearing on there. Do you really want to advertise alongside scammers? This appears to be growing problem for the site. It is something to consider when you choose the place to sell your car.
After looking at the alternatives we decided that there was room for improvement. So we've been building Car Dealr! in a quest to make selling your car online better. You can advertise on Car Dealr at any time - just begin by filling in what sort of car you want to sell below.
