Bias against individuals I am interested in buying a vehicle listed at £7,490, a "good price" according to Autotrader. They advise that the trade-in price for that same vehicle is £4,350, about a 40% difference below dealer "good price". This site has a trade bias. Individuals need to be aware that any dealer quoting the Autotrader trade-in price is not to be trusted. By association, nor are Autotrader.

AutoTrader - Shambles - Private Seller now Listed As Trader Cos they decided I tried to create an advert today with Autotrader for a personal car I'm selling. Using my existing account Autotrader decided to change my account details without my permission or consultation and listed me as a "Trader" and not a private seller which I am. This was outrageous. When I called to report this after waiting 20 minutes to get through to their security they said I need to send them proof that I own my own car that I'm selling in order to remove this status. This is a inept outfit I warn others of their dodgy practices as its clear they don't value customers. They are a complete shambles and would trust them with anything as god knows what they doing with your personal information. If I could list my rating below 1 star like a minus star I would. Very Annoyed Customer

Wasted nearly £40 in an effort to sell… Wasted nearly £40 in an effort to sell my car. Then all you get when you advertise with them is constant suggestions to spend even more money to sell your car on their website. I'm not really sure anyone looks at Autotrader anymore.

They are so woke They are so woke. They clearly work for the dealers which will come back to haunt them as buyers are getting frustrated with using their website. I hate how the site: 1). Defaults to "Include long distance delivery" Only punk yuppies get used cars delivered to them. 2. The site tells me that it is a "Hot Car" and likely to sell within a week. Shut up! I didn't ask for your opinion. 3. Great deal, good deal, fair deal. Again, shut up! I didn't ask for your opinion. 4. Payments? Society is screwed because we are a debtor nation. Everyone would be much better off if we paid cash for everything. Just show the price.

Within hours of placing my ad I… Within hours of placing my ad I received 2 responses from people who were already “flagged” by Autotrader for suspicious activity, why are they still allowed access to the ads? The third response came directly from Autotrader in the form of a “direct buy” from them for less than half my asking price. The whole thing is a joke, a joke that cost me $49 which they refused to cancel the ad and give me a refund. Won’t happen again
