Reminds me of that scene from the Senna movie where Jean Marie Balestre in a heavy accent said The Best decision is MY decision. 

He was out of a job shortly after.

Just playing devils advocate here but from a customers point of view I can see how they may be assured by the price marker showing it is "fairly priced"

I've tried many platforms over the last 20 years (OMG - where did that go?) BUT AT still shifts the metal with least messers.

I'm no expert but it's, I think Search Engine Optimisation.  

 

Basically, people do not just (or at all maybe) simply just go to autotrader's website for example. Instead they google search things like 'used cars near me' or 'ford fiesta for sale' etc.  SEO work get's you seen more.

 

Someone else will explain better than me.

Remove reg number or VIN number from Vehicle Details and Stock Management. 

If problems with data check are flagged just remove VIN. 

No marker. 

No data check result.

You have to re do advert without putting reg and delete original ad.

Will try what Nick suggested with no vin  to see what happens with Experian and finance example.

My retail check valuation disappears but because my high price markers are not live for me I can't see if they would be displayed on the live advert. Currently my High Price adverts have no marker. 

Just tried a new advert with no reg and it still gives me a marker. Because we discussed that "loophole" on the Car Dealers Facebook page the guy from Autotrader that was admitted to the page must've seen it and plugged the loophole. Will find another, there will be but will only publish in the closed forum.
