Anyone sold a car on this site?? The price is £1 a week, compared to eBay, autotrader it seems cheap, just wondering if anyone has advertised on this site/sold a car?? Any help much appreciated. Thanks. ( I'm trying to sell my car, but don't wanna pay big money to advertise, tried local papers)

How busy is the website?

No point in paying to advertise on it if it gets little to no traffic.

Stick it on Gumtree for free.

Never seen them advertise on TV. In fact never seen them advertise anywhere.
Website rankings say 92% of their traffic is from India?

Give me 50p a week and i will advertise your car. Or give me £50 and i have a buyer waiting for your exact make and model of car and his budget exceeds your asking price.
No point paying for nothing..

Ebay gets millions of views. Never failed to sell a car on there.

Cant understand private sellers who wont pay to have their cars advertised on one of the main sites like autotrader or ebay.

Any outlay is going to represent a miniscule amount, relative to the value of the car, and is going to be hugely offset by the amount of prospective buyers that they have.

Or maybe this is something more sinister altogether.

My thoughts exactly. I did a search on it and it came up with a few cars from a dealer 20 miles away. I bet the dealer in question doesn't know anything about it. Adverts probably grabbed from somewhere and used as filler.

Try their web site to look for (a) any particular used car model and (b) a new car.

The latter is a complete mess - see for yourself. The former has very few cars on it that I can see.

Not much money to lose to try, though, as long as it is honest.

Why do the website trackers say 92% of the traffic from India?

Waste of a £. Pick 6 numbers instead.

More chance of winning the lottery than selling your car with that site.

And you found this thread because, You got a sudden smell of a meaty sandwich?

Cynical?

It's either a legit start up with some dodgy practices and a poor website (for a genuine commercial entity) or it's some fraudsters with a pretty convincing site.

Check the below from the T's and C's page:

"In order to operate our Services and to reduce the risk of fraud, the data controller, must ask you to provide us with information about yourself, including your credit or debit card and/or bank account details."

Also try clicking on an advert, you'd be surprised where you can end up.
