Autotrader needs to have written in to its terms and conditions. No offers made over the phone as this is disrespectful. If a potential buyer thinks it’s too expensive then don’t make an offer! Autot... See more

The site is generally easy to navigate and get your vehicle uploaded. Problem comes with payment. Even though the vehicle is UK registered they do not accept non UK registered banking. There are ways to ensure security if fraud is an issue, but they seemed to have decided not to bother.

After two attemptes at being scammed and now finding my plate has been cloned, so I'm now receiving PCNs for traffic offences caused by the cloners, I couldn't recommend Autotrader for private sellers.

My Nissan Note Sale Experience

I was tempted to advertise the car on either Facebook Market Place, or Gumtree but, eventually opted for Autotrader, mainly due to their high standing in the private vehicle sale market. I am very pleased with my decision as the listing process was easy to follow and complete, and in-between listing the advertisement and selling the car, I received in excess of 10 enquiries over a five-day period. It was £9.95 well spent!
