If you are in the UK and have been actively searching for a used car then I’m sure you will know that searching for one on the internet can be hard work. You only have to do a typical search on the web for “used cars” to see those countless sites.
A typical used car search will normally consist of the procedure:
As you visit the website you then find your search boxes on the page for the used car search and then begin to select your make and model criteria followed by the choice of transmission and fuel type. Then price min and price max together with county and post code and any other keywords that the site may allow you to enter.
For this experiment I will search for:
Make: Vauxhall
Model: Astra
Fuel: Petrol
Transmission: Manual
Price Min: £3000
Price Max: £9000
County: Essex
Post Code: *** ***
Once this has been completed you then hit the search button and view the search results. Once you have viewed the used cars that are on that site you then have 2 choices give up or go back to your favourite web engine and define your search and move on to the next used car portal. You can easily end up repeating this on up to 30 different websites, if you don’t find your car on that occasion then once every three days you may end up repeating this above until you find your used car.
** No one website will feature all possible used cars in the UK
The perfect website would be one where enter your search criteria once and once only in that given session and you then get returned used car results, that website does not exist at the moment and probably never will due to the competitive nature of those data providers.
However onestopcaradvice.co.uk comes very close to being that site, you enter your search criteria once and then this used car website returns direct links to other used car websites “search page” thus saving you the effort of having to enter your search criteria over and over again. Currently the site had access to over 500`000 used cars from up to 15 different top online search portals available which in theory makes this website the biggest used car resource.
Its very simple but it works!
So make this the first place to start your search for buying your next or first car.
If you find this service useful then please tell someone about it.
