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

Everytime I tried to search my vehicle only showroom/dealership vehicles were shown.
So it's no wonder i got no interest, Advert was a waste of money if your selling privately.

Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review.
We're sorry to hear that you've had issues finding your advert live on the website.
We'd like to help further with this so we've reached out to you via email to offer further support.
Usually, if you can't find the advert live, it might be that you're searching using the wrong make and model (MINI Hatch instead of Cooper, or Fiat Ducato instead of Auto-Sleepers), and the filters for the search show the wrong results.
Hopefully, this way, we can help you advertise your car in the best way possible.
Many thanks,
Thanasis
it was easy to complete

Sold within 15 minutes of the ad going live. Saved time and having to deal with time wasters and hagglers using local advertising.
I would recommend Autotraders to anyone selling an older car.
