I often buy Auto Trader because I like to keep abreast of what is happening in the motor industry and I like to see annoyingly how much my recently purchased new van has dropped in price as soon as I paid top whack for it!
The layout of the magazine is very straigtforward and makes sense. It is split up into several sections like cars, classic cars, vans, HGV's and so on. Each of these sections is split alphabetically and goes through each manufacturer that has one of their vehicles advertised.
You can find almost anything in Autotrader. They have all sorts from the good old British motor days of Austin to a spanking new Korean Daewoo!!.
You should also try the Autotrader website because this is a real good website with all the adverts listed and many have colour pictures with them which can give you a fair indication of what condition it is in before you actually go and see it.
If your interested in motors then you should try these 2 resources and you'll be plesently suprised at how interesting they can be, even if your not presently in the market for a new motor.

Autotrader is a good resource for Used cars, vans, Classics ..but dont watch your van depreciate..the minute you take it off the forecourt you've lost 2000! It's sad but true. I have been using Autotrader's website daily as I'm looking for a Used car, my only complaint is is autotrader forget or update the ad's once a week only or less, so most of cars are sold already! A helpful opinion, thanks.
Advantages: Well established, popular magazine for those buying & selling cars Disadvantages: Expensive to advertise in, used as LEAD FODDER by every canvasser in town
