Disadvantages: none really

As everybody who has ever tried to buy or sell a car will know it can be a very difficult and quite stressful process. Although car auctions are becoming quite popular because there are some bargains to be had, the internet has become a popular tool for buying and selling cars. Auto Trader has been a reliable magazine for buying and selling vehicles for many years and their website is no exception. I have never actually bought or sold on here, but I browse it almost everyday as I'm looking for a new car at the moment. It is very simple to use and there are many useful search features which enable you to pinpoint exactly what you're looking for.

The web address is autotrader.co.uk. This will take you to the main page. Across the top there are many buttons: buying, selling, loans, insurance, parts and accessories, news and reviews and my trader. Above this you can redirect the website to the type of vehicle you're looking for: car, bikes, van, trucks, motorhomes & caravans etc. The search feature is definitely the best part of the website. Found on the lefthandside of the main page it enables you to search based on: postcode - vehicles will show up based on their vicinity to your postcode, distance - how many miles the vehicles are away, make - the make of the vehicle (eg ford), model - the model of the vehicle (eg fiesta), value - from £0 - £1,000,000. This search option can also be directed to used cars or new cars based on which option you choose.

If you're interested in cars then it's definitely a website I would recommend. Also it will come in handy if you're selling your car as you can see what prices cars of your specification are selling for, giving you an idea of how much you should ask for your car. Well worth a look.

Thanks for reading.

Summary: well worth a look
