What you should know about Auto Trader
Auto Trader started in 1977 as a printed classified magazine and has been online-only since 2013. Today it lists a huge range of new and used cars from franchised and independent dealers as well as private sellers across the UK.
Dealer prices on Auto Trader move regularly: cars that don't sell are often reduced in steps, and the price indicator on each listing shows how the asking price compares with similar cars. Private sellers tend to adjust after a few quiet weeks.
SaleAlarm checks the listing regularly and emails you the old and the new price when it drops – so you can call the seller, book a test drive and reserve the car before other buyers notice.
Tips for Auto Trader
Check the price indicator on the listing: it compares the asking price with similar cars, so you can see whether a reduced price is genuinely good value.
Before you buy, check the car's MOT history on GOV.UK with the registration number – it shows past test results and recorded mileage.
Track the same model from a few sellers and use the lowest price as your reference when you negotiate.
