loriusgarrulus Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 I got 5 scam emails via Autotrader when selling our caravan. Eventually sold it via Preloved with no scam emails Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

7daysinaweek Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 My brother in law was a car salesman in the late 90's when autotrader was in its magazine format, he used to say "your fingers even get burnt turning the pages" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 I have sold via Autotrader and if you use your common sense its not a problem, you do tend to get a lot of "tirekicker" questions though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red-dot Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 My mate was selling his car and got asked ro pay half the transporter fee up front four times in one day. He took a small hit and sold via WBAC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
