First thing to say, Autotrader pricing, for the private seller, is near-exceptional! Add to that, the fact that their anti-scammer measures are both very effective and reassuring; be that within the e... See more

Straightforward and easy to use.
It was easy to create the advert for the car I was selling and the advice from Autotrader was very helpful for a first time seller. The car was sold within two days of the advert being live, perfect.

Great site to sell your car
I had a really good experience selling my car through Auto Trader. I had quite a few enquiries and interest in the car, and although there were a couple of people who seemed very interested and then changed their minds, I eventually found a genuine buyer and sold the car today.
The process was straightforward, I felt I had good exposure for the advert, and Auto Trader made it easy to communicate with potential buyers. Overall, I’m really happy with the experience and would use Auto Trader again if I needed to sell another car.

First time advertiser.
I’ve never tried to sell a car on Autotrader before
All I can say so far is that creating the advert was easy enough.
So let’s see!

All good and achieved a good price
All good and achieved a good price. Beware of a scam involving a car check agency called Advancerac. They are a con and produce noting but rubbish.
But Autotrader worked well.

Although easy to place an ad...it is difficult fro a private seller to have any prominence. even though the car may be the actual best price and lower than all the dealer prices it does not say this in the ad, thus putting the private seller at a disadvantage from the get-go.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
I understand that you haven't had the performance you expected from your advert, and I'm sorry to hear that your enquiries have mostly been from fraudulent buyers.
While Autotrader provides a platform to advertise vehicles to a large audience, we’re unable to guarantee the number of views, enquiries, or a sale. These are usually down to:
-Your vehicle’s popularity
-The time of year
-Financial and economic factors
-Price
-The quality of your advert
If you would like to discuss this with us further, please contact us on 0345 111 0003 or email us at customerexperience@autotrader.co.uk.
