    Default Autotrader

    Not used it for a while, and now I can see why. Everyone seems to feel the need to leave the last digit off the end of the price just to get the car up the listings. There's always '£3000 not £300' at the end.

    Just list the car for what you want you bunch of ludicrous bellends

    The thing that gets my goat is putting 100 miles instead of 100,000 miles which fills up my filtered choice with high mileage sh!tters.
    People do it on Ebay aswell

    Their loss as far as i'm concerned....i have spent weeks trawling autotrader and as my budget starts at 3k i skip past all the "£300" cars, as i wouldn't even open any add at that price for what i'm looking for....
