DONT TRUST [FALSE INFORMATION]

This company / organisation suposedly helping car byers is an "ABSOLUTE CON".
TRAVELED to Bedford, Kemstone, Bromham & last of all B&F Cars Northampton. The 1st 3 locations photographs of vehicals were obveously "DOCTORED", The BEDFORD DEALER is a private house APPOINTMENT ONLY as cars are brought to address from a different location, car was filthy, interior a mess & on opening the bonet a birds nest & covered in dirt/mud.
Kempstone is a FIELD & gives the impression of a SCRAP YARD, B & F all cars are between £500 - 700 above "BLACK BOOK" Pricing. They are a LEICESTER based outfit, [what have Bedford & Leicester area in common?? I Rest my Case.
"AUTO TRADER NOT TO BE TRUSTED" Do proper research before wasting "FUEL & TIME"

Full of Scammers

Almost immediately after posting the add for my trike I began receiving emails showing interest in my trike which i found very suspicious because of the fact that there was no response when I replied. When I did get a response they wanted me to go to a website and get a vehicle history report at my expense which they said that they would guarantee to reimburse me once the deal was done. Researched that website and found it to be a scam. I cancelled the add and will have my cc company get me a refund. Makes you wonder just how many people fell for that, hopefully not many.

Disgusting experience with bike trader…

Disgusting experience with bike trader selling a motorcycle.
Complete and utter waste of my money. Never again!
Customer service was very slow and useless to the point of arrogance!
I a buyer contacted me I couldn't reply because of there email security. So needed to end the advert with them.
This should be fully explained when placing the ad or have a platform on their website to use.

In nearly 8 years you have not fixed this issue?

I can not even start to use your setting a new Advert Page, as is still does not list my Make and model of Touring Caravan?
When I was looking to buy eight years ago your system could not find the touring Caravan I was looking for it could not find the model in question.
And today I was trying to sell that same model of Caravan but I Can Not as your page still does not list the same caravan ( Bailey 2 Pegasus Rimini) in your drop down menu!
So in eight plus years you have done nothing!
I was correct in my last complaint you are only interested in making money but not providing a service that works. Still your Web Page Sales Line is not fit for purpose?

After trying many others- Auto Trader are the Easiest way to buy or sell your next motor

Auto Trader- still remains the original & best way to sell or buy your motor vehicle - be it motor home car or motor bike
Helpful, fuss & faff -free process from start to finish.
They really have this buying & selling motirs down to a fine art.
They even suggest a fair market price - a great comparatively low advert price, & guidance how to word your ad.
Cherry on the cake is-they will redorect any genuine enquiries to the seller- keeps ypur numbers privacy.
All this makes for an almost stress free buying or selling experience.
Helpfull friendly staff should you need one of their services clarified- but their web site is easy to browse, & the last 4 vehicles I bought & sold- all done satisfactorily through Auto Trader.
Im a big fan-totally recommend them
