Trading up...?

Advantages: Choice, easily navigated, availability of reviews and car related links
Disadvantages: too much choice..!

Since landing myself a new job opportunity 55 miles away (nice career development move!) I have been on the car buying merry go round with a vengeance. Obviously for that distance both fuel economy and comfort are of utmost importance and I am looking for something quite rare - notably a diesel automatic vehicle, budget was stretching to a 3-5yr old vehicle depending on how prestigious a model I elected for, and low mileage was a factor - as I will ...
...years without doing a lot more than commuting.

In years previous, the autotrader magazine has always served its purpose relatively well, although 500 pages of black and white car adverts could be a little on the tedious side. Like everything, the internet has changed the way we shop for goods, although the jury is still out for me on whether it has actually simplified the process or made it ten times harder!

How useful was it?

Ease of use

Cost of service

So You Want More Choice

Advantages: HUGE choice of vehicles. GREAT search facility
Disadvantages: None that I experienced

~ ~ As most of you are already probably aware, I am a taxi-driver here in the Fair City of Dublin, Ireland for the past seven years or so. And any of you who have read my car reviews will also be aware of my obvious attachment to Nissan motor cars. In July 1999, I found myself on the lookout for a replacement for my trusty 1991 Nissan Bluebird, which was long past due for an honourable retirement. I had a notion that I could just possibly manage ...
...my usual round of daily and evening newspapers, local garages, and main dealers. And there my problems began. Although Nissan, and the Bluebird in particular, is a very popular marque here in Ireland, the last of these marvellous cars was manufactured in early 1992. And although there are still plenty of Bluebirds around, finding a "clean" example, which would stand up to the rigours of use as a taxi, proved a very daunting task. Looking through ...

Wanna buy a car mate...

Advantages: Easy, full of features
Disadvantages: Can be slow and search doesn't work 100% of the time

...favourite website, due to its wide range of features! Although I had a few minor complaints, they really are minor. You really couldn't find a more comprehensive site of this kind - making Autotrader.co.uk the only online used car showroom you need ever visit when looking for a second-hand car. ...

The tool of the eighties in a new and useful guise

Advantages: expansive data base
Disadvantages: None really

Autotrader is an icon of the eighties that has moved into the new century with grace and skill. This is not through active management but it has been driven by market forces and as such it has survived. Both a magazine and a website, it is dedicated to the sole aim of selling cars and car accessories to the Great British public and it does this very successfully. The website is found at www.autotrader.co.uk . It has a search facility that allows ...
...Basic search allows you to search for manufacturer and model only. This is useful if you are looking for a rare car such as a TVR chimera (47 results today). For your more common models it is too extensive, you cannot hope to find your desired Ford Ka from 760 found. The advanced search allows you to hone your criteria to price range, geographic area and yes even colour. Www.autotrader.co.uk contains lists of motors that individuals want to sell ...

Review of autotrader.co.uk

The best way to sell your car privately

Advantages: Nice quick website.
Disadvantages: Nothing if it sells your car.

Ive been a fan of the autotrader since I started using the magazine back in the dark ages when I was 18.Ive tried a lot of different ways to selling cars, via free and local papers, agencys , and local shop windows.The one that Ive had the most success out of by a long way is the Autotrader.I how this as I always ask the person whom have bought the car where they saw it advertised, so I know where to look advertise in the future. I have to say since ...
...service.Every time you advertise in your local Autotrader your picture will appear on the internet free of charge.This has worked for me as Ive had people come to Tyneside from both Scotland and Hull to buy cars Ive advertised in the past and they only been bog standard cars, nothing special or rare.ALWAYS include a photograph in your advert which autotrader will take Free of charge and they will even come to your door.Adverts without photographs ...

Review of autotrader.co.uk

Useful if you know what you want

Advantages: great for finding a car to buy
Disadvantages: need to know exactly what you want

This is a really quick and painless way to find a new or used car its worthwile noting the following tips for searching the dattabase because its not that easy to browse around if you are not sure what model of car you want to buy. Definately register, as you can look for a particular model number (ie. GL GLX etc) and you can look for a particular mileage and age. And don't bother if you don't least know the make of the car and model of the car that ...
...topgear site www.topgear.beeb.com to find a specific model. This is even more useful if, say, you want a sunroof because you may not find this by simply putting sunroof in the keyword search, as the search engine looks for the advertisers text of rather than the spec of the vehicle ...

Fiat Punto 1.2, to buy or not to buy!?

Advantages: Cheap to run, looks, practicality.
Disadvantages: performance not fantastic

blowing off any BMW M3's at the lights, but then again it hasn't been made for that. With a not so breath taking 1242cc engine offering 60bhp, the Punto lacks in performance, but it makes up for this with its practicality and cheapness to run. This little beast will average around 50 miles per gallon, which for a petrol car is fantastic. With an insurance group of just 3, this makes this car a young drivers dream! Putting the 60bhp aside, as well as the 14.3 seconds to get to 60mph, this car does what it says on the tin. It is comfortable, nice to drive, looks good, and is cheap to run and buy, what more could you ask for? (Details about mpg and hp taken from autotrader.co.uk) ...

the magazine for you.

Review of Auto Trader

SCOOTERS

Advantages: Quick through traffic
Disadvantages: small

Scooters are getting used more and more these days because of the ease, the cost and the fuel use. You can weave through traffic with ease and scoot around on 130mpg! You can buy a good quality scooter for about £600 and the makes I would personally recommend are Benelli, Aprilla and Suzuki. You can ride a 50cc scooter at age 16 and a 125cc at age 17. If you are interested and would like to have a browse at some scooters on offer, then I personally recommend www.autotrader.co.uk. They have a wide range on offer and you can also sell your scooter too. ...
