    I've just drove this home and wasnt expecting the top speed to be 65 at a push. Is this normal for this model? I dont exactly need it to do much more but is it something that needs looking at? 

    It may be speed restricted especially if it is ex council or similar.

    Autotrader price indicators.Want a way to get rid of them till they sort the mess out.Remove the mileage from the mileage box and either put 1 or 0 then in the attention grabber put the mileage the car has done.Price indicators gone.If you don't upload your adverts directly to dealer portal then you will need to put 1 mile and then the mileage in the subtitle/extra info box.Autotrader have wreaked havoc doing this and until they sort out how to value a car thats one owner/full service history/lovely condition to a pile of scrap being sold by a kirbside trader with no back up after sale they should remove the price indicators and have a re-think.

    This does get rid of the price marker, but then the mileage marker looks weird when it says something like 80000 below average mileage!

    Done 11 November and 5 this month have a feeling it may be slow now on in plenty of stock vans and cars ready no need to buy at silly prices in New year.

    That mirror's my numbers exactly Ek, how many did you have advertised in Nov and Dec?

    Hi Mad Mark

    The bottom line if you have no experience.If you haven’t got 20 grand don’t even bother and if you have ,be prepared to blow most of that in the first 18 months.As for Flipping Cars,he seems a good guy but he only made 3 grand last year so he may not be as good at this job as you think.The guys on here who do well,despite what they say put in huge effort and work very hard and regularly cope with set backs that cost a lot of money.This job is now very complex and you need rhino skin to compete,so good luck.

    This is it in a nutshell no more needs to be said.

    I don't get it I would say that's below average 10-12 k a year seems about average I would say and even that's low now most we seem to see now are doing around 15 k 

    Autotrader base it soley on the same year/model/variant models as advertised on AT

    vote for me :D

    I will by 2021 ensure that every car dealer gets a free windyman

    I will double the staff at dvla ensuring the phone is answered in 1 minute

    I will disband the small claims, it is just a burden on our businesses 

    I will introduce carxit, for every car "exiting" your business [sold] you will receive tax free £1000 bonus, carxit.

    I will bring autotrader into government ownership, guaranteeing no one pays more than £3 per advert.

    what else would you like ? :D 

     

    Can you take over AT and give us what we want from it please.

    Whats everyones expectations for december.

    We have done 5-6 for the first few days of December but someone turned the tap off since the 4th and we have had no phone calls and only 2 emails with 50 cars in stock and all on auto trader in the last 3 days.

    Im feeling a city break away for a few days just in case its dead. i have a couple of business partners so no real pressure to be here as everything is prepped / close to it.

    There is no way im sitting around for the next 14 days with naff all happening.

    Get yourselve off Grant then it will pick up again.

    Last 3 months zero sales through AT previously all sales through AT . Lucky if the younger generation know who autotrader are and if they do there not enticed to look there..

    If anyone one advertises on AT for 3 Months and gets zero sales I would find that unbelievable -_-
