    I've been informed Cox Automotive ( Manheim & Dealer Auction) own 51% and Autotrader own 49% of the platform.

    Autotrader are using the new Dealer Auction co.uk platform to promote dealer stock sales / movements, Dealer Auction Sales, Manheim Auction Sales and the old Autotrademail between dealers.

    The biggest issue for me is it costs 12x the amount and you will still get the same badly described cars because no one wants to give up good retail stock!

    I see it’s gone live now on pc but not yet mobile - strange.

    It not only says high price but tells the amount overpriced in their opinion.

    Removing reg removes marker but also  removes Experian check and paid for finance examples!

    Another dealer I spoke to was told by his rep to ‘not buy high spec cars anymore’.

    You couldn’t make it up!

     

     

     

     

    I have the same issue with a highly specced Audi A5, received a call this morning and the customer said my car was overpriced according to AT, my response ask AT to find you one in this specification for cheaper then?

    I guess I will have to wait for a customer that actually understands to true value of the specification upgrades.....

    Double stock offer means time to play with Autotrader algorithms if you have spare space on AT

    If I have unused slots I shall leave sold cars live but increase the price by say £500

    If enough of us do it it should move the price markers

    Anyone else up for this?

    Will do the same.

    As above, e-mail during the week and one yesterday.  We managed to add about 15 extra yesterday and all went live.

    Have you made any changes to your package in the last couple of months?  I recall this could effect the offer.

    No changes to our package. We have just called Account Support and their have said it's a glitch their end and we should be live in 15-20 minutes fingers crossed!

    I received an email yesterday saying my double stock offer had been activated. 

    I received an email yesterday saying my double stock offer had been activated. 

    Oh well I haven't received that email but I did phone them yesterday and they said we would be receiving the offer?

    Strange one I suppose I will have to wait till Monday unless they are open today.

    Morning all, anyone else experiencing issues with their AT Double stock offer?

    It was meant to be live yesterday, been checking throughout the day and evening but nothing?

    Logged on this morning and still nothing? We did phone them yesterday and they said it was staggered throughout the day but that was yesterday? Anyone else experiencing issues?

    Just looked  on the DVLA road tax checker and you can no longer see if the car is in the trade (I.e  you can tax at the post office without a v5, using a V62)  any ideas where you can now check this? 

    Just call them at DVLA, they are happy to tell you if it's in the trade.

    Spelling mistake

    Evening all, I've been getting bombarded with Ebay sales calls to sign up to Ebay Motors & Gumtree (already on Ebay Motors). I've received an email saying they are planning new packages to include Motors etc early January.

    Do I wait to add Gumtree at a "reduced rate" or see what's on offer in January?

    Interesting times ahead especially if the whole platform takes off as there are alot of Ex AT customers waiting for the next best thing....

    I am also in the same predicament banking with Barclays. Having a good bank holiday sale can something's mean we don't get our money until Wednesday / Thursday! Seems we pay alot for our machine and services so I can't understand why it takes so long to hit our bank when they have the money instantly.

    Currently having a look at our provides to see if there is a next day service.
