gumtree.com

Advantages: Very detailed
Disadvantages: Open to fraud

...Many will remember a time when the classified section of a local newspaper was all there was if you wanted to look for second-hand goods, or look for a place to live without going to an estate agent?but not anymore. Goodbye the classified section; hello Gumtree.com To quote the frontpage of the website, Gumtree advertises ?Homes, jobs, cars, sofas, vintage records? anything, really??and they?re not wrong! It lists it?s good in cities across the country. And not just the capital cities of the UK, but anywhere from Brighton to Nottingham, from Oxford to Aberdeen. This handy tool can help you look for exactly what you?re after without having to sift through adverts from cities hundreds of miles from you. Now, to indicate the scale of the website, in the London section, the ?Flats and Houses? adverts totals 124,174!! That seems a bit...

Gumtree or... how I wasted plenty of hours on this website

Advantages: still fees free! (for standard adverts)
Disadvantages: Any option costs money, plenty of time wasters, ads get automatically removed for no reason

...Gumtree is a website dedicated to free ads of certain areas of the globe. It is advertised as UK n°1 website for classified ads but it has branches also in other Worldwide locations (Australia, Poland, New Zeland, Asia and South Africa) plus European and North American partners, meaning other websites called differently but offering the same service. The website is divided into main areas of the UK and each main city in those areas have their own space for posting your ads. So if you live in Manchester you will post your ads in your local area. Also the search of items for sale is local, there isn't yet a function for a global search, mainly because most of transactions end with a collection in person so it's useless to search items across the UK if you live in Cardiff. Classified ads are divided into categories: Flat & Houses...

Gumtree.com for everybody

Advantages: User friendly
Disadvantages: Some sites may be a bit frivolous.

...Gumtree.com is like one of those ad newspapers (eg. Loot) but online and is extremely helpful and user-friendly. I have been using it a lot recently as I am back in England for a while and it is great for job hunting, accommodation and even finding friends! It is very user friendly and you can even post free ads without giving away all your personal details. You can also hone your searches by changing the town you want to search in and there is even an option to change countries : maybe a holiday rental in France or a job in Poland! For these credit cruch times it is a good place to sell your unwanted things and find bargains too or maybe even a job. There is a gossipy side too with such sites as "Celebrity spot" but that just shows that it caters to all tastes. Happy hunting!...

Gumtree - Don't Judge a Book by its Cover

Advantages: variety of things, easy to access and use
Disadvantages: none i can think of

...Gumtree.com. When you first hear about this website, you'd think they aren't serious. However, you know what they say, don't judge a book by it's cover. Gumtree is one of the best sites ever to search for a variety of things. The best thing is that not only are there job offers, but there are also cars and houses advertised for sale, many other items such as phones, tickets, instruments, baby and kids things and much more up for sale. Furthermore, there are also services that you may require like house, health and beauty, computer, legal and many more, pets, things for the community and even a link to dating for anyone no matter whether you straight, gay, looking for a casual relationship or even a serious one. I have been on this website quite a number of times and I must say that this website has helped me a lot. I have been...

Well done Kia

Advantages: loads of room
Disadvantages: none

...Having 5 children we needed some thing a bit bigger than the rover we had. We started to look around and visit web sites for a people carrier. We also looked at the ones that we passed on the road and saw the Kia Sedona. It looked very spacious, a nice smooth curvy body. We went to our local Kia dealers and had a look at the different models of Sedona they had. We didn?t want a second hand one in case anything happened to it we would not of had a fall back plan. We looked at the Kia Sedona SX and decided that this was the one for our family and us. We could fold all the back seats down and push them forward and have a large backspace if we needed it, also when the seats were upright and pushed forward there was quite a lot of space in the boot department, which we were surprised about. The engine is beautiful and runs really...

Review of Kia Sedona

The Kia Sedona is a nice car but...

Advantages: Good Fuel Economy, Interesting Looks
Disadvantages: Poor Turning Circle, Noisey Engine

...Having a family of 4 as well as 3 Boisterous Labradors I was looking for a car with Space and Style that would not need Refuelling twice a week. I looked at various people carriers before deciding on a Kia Sedona, Mainly because I had never heard of Kia. The Salesman was well informed and seemed to have a genuine passion when selling the finer points of the car, which is always encouraging. But did I want a Kia Sedona? My nearest Kia garage was, at that time, some 40 miles away. A long way to go if something relatively minor goes wrong. As part of my decision making process I apprehended a Gentleman in the railway station car park as he was getting into his Kia Sedona. He was generally pleased with his car and was even happier with the money he had saved compared to other, better known but more expensive People carriers. So I decided to...

The wonderfull Kia Picanto

Advantages: A wonderfull nippy, well designed and comfortable car with surprisingly a lot of room
Disadvantages: Small boot (but it has storage under it)

...In October last year I purchased a new Kia Picanto GS as I needed a small comfortable, reliable and fuel economic 5 door vehicle as I was beginning to do lots of miles for work. Before I bought a vehicle i knew i would find it difficult finding one i liked as i had a long wish list of things i wanted the car to have, and it had to be disability friendly as i have got arthritis, even though i'm only 25 years old. In order to buy the correct vehicle I test drove and loaned other vehicles, including; Citroen C1/C2/C3, Ford Ka, Chevrolet/Daewoo Matiz, Fiat Panda, Nissan Micra, Peugeot 106/1007/206, Smart ForFour, Toyota Aygo & VW Lupo/Fox/Golf and others. However not one of these fully meet my needs and i began to look at other makes/models, including the Kia Picanto. At first i was sceptable about the Kia brand, as i knew nothing...

Kia Ora - The Aura of Oranges!

Advantages: Smells Lovely, Refreshing
Disadvantages: Doesn't really taste of oranges

...Kia Ora Orange squash is one of those products that has been around for ever. As a kid my mother used to swear by it and there was always a bottle in the cupboard. I am sure some of you must remember that freaky advert from about 20 years ago, or maybe it's just me who needs to get out a little more. So What Is Kia Ora? Kia Ora takes its strange name from the Maori word for welcome. It is an orange squash drink originally sold in a glass bottle but now packaged in a plastic bottle for cheapness and safety. It is manufactured and marketed by the Coca Cola group of companies. What Is It Like? The first thing that you notice when you unscrew the cap is the smell. Kia Ora has a very rich sweet smell of oranges, yes it really does smell of the real thing, but then again it is made from real oranges and according to the bottle...

Review of Kia Ora Orange Squash

Kia = Happy Journeys....

Advantages: Very well priced
Disadvantages: 'Unknown' name - for all you brand 'snobs'!

...We purchased our 2.9 CRDi Kia Sedona in May this year. Why, oh why did we not do it sooner. How many journeys did we endure with the tedious whining of "Are we nearly there yet?" " How much further?" "Mum, he/she/its hitting me...?" - if you have children you know the sentences... We've just come back from a camping holiday in the UK that involved a 3.5 hr journey, and I can not wait to go to France involving a 10 hr journey in 10 days time, yes, I can not wait to do such a long journey, with our children. I never thought I'd say that, but... With air conditioning, comfy seats, a high ride position, and in-car DVD system (with infa-red headphones, so we can have our own music at the front), journeys are a doddle. The car itself is a big beastie, and maybe its turning circle is on the large side... however, we live in...

Review of Kia Sedona

Kia Sedona 2.9LX CRDi 2002 Model

Advantages: Cheap to buy, roomy, versatile.
Disadvantages: Expensive parts and servicing, poor quality trim.

...Sedona is on its 3rd pump, injectors and pipes. (10000mls and 24000mls)and I know of one other locally.Dealer was not allowed to tell me how many others are involved. Another thing to consider is the warranty. Mine is 3 years unlimited mileage and now it is 3 years 100000mls for new purchases. If you breakdown and the vehicle is off the road, you will be supplied with a loan car, but only for 2 days! It will not be a comparible vehicle, just a small hatchback and you have to pick up the insurance bill for it yourself(£9.00 + vat per day). I had to beg KIA Assist to let me have a vehicle for the duration of my hols which they did, but has cost me £130.00 insurance. Overall, the car is good value for money, offering more space than its rivals but I think would benefit from being fitted with the 2.5 engine as fitted to the Sorento...
