Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 7,158 reviews, reviewers overwhelmingly had a great experience with this company. Customers frequently highlight that the official website is exceptionally user-friendly, allowing sellers to easily create and manage detailed vehicle adverts complete with multiple photos. Many people deeply appreciate receiving strong exposure to serious prospective buyers, which consistently helps ensure that online listings generate genuine interest and sell rapidly. However, some customers also noted that the overall advertising service can be rather pricey and currently lacks flexibility in choosing cheaper packages. A few reviewers additionally mentioned that navigating certain technical features can occasionally feel complicated, especially when drafting forms online without a proper save button.

Autotrader needs to have written in to its terms and conditions. No offers made over the phone as this is disrespectful. If a potential buyer thinks it’s too expensive then don’t make an offer! Autot... See more

I had only two calls in three weeks but the second one bought the car!

I had only two calls in three weeks. The first was a derisory offer from a dealer who already ahd several Shoguns for sale but the second was a genuine enquiry from a buyer who came and bought the car. I took the pricing advice from the website when I advertised and needed to reduce the price for the sale. It suggests to me with only two calls that the guide price was perhaps a little high?
