Lazz 16 Posted August 17, 2019 I think if your not careful you will let autotrader run your business for you not the other way round, I have had an interesting conversation with one of their reps this week where by which they said to me that we should look at how i price my cars and I told them that's a topic they are not involved in the discussion. we all know you can buy crap and price it the cheapest, but we all know you get what you pay for as far as cars are concerned which an advert is properly not going to highlight. i think autotrader is going to fall out of bed eventually because I think how joe public searches for a car today is evolving and they are slowly getting left behind. My 20 year old sons would not even consider looking on there for a car, my rep has been spouting on to me that I am paying for a premium service but if i Am honest I am not so sure about that these days, but time will tell.

Rory RSC 596 Posted August 17, 2019 TBF my official days in stock off the Autotrader email 'weekly performance is always sub 30 days so 3 weeks or so isn't out of the question. Last one was 27 days to turn over your forecourt. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I love constructive criticism! So what would you say to make the exterior shots better? Also I don't generally stock fiats to be honest however it was cheap!

Make sure mileage is low becuase these things are pure crap. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Your missing the search bracket between £4k to £4.5 k Joe bloggs knows what they are worth and your at the top end of the £3,500 to £4,000 search . Your car is cheaper than the privates . Just my opinion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
