As the flagship publication of the Trader Media Group, Auto Trader is one of the most popular magazines sold in the UK. Indeed in 2006, there were more than 278,000 copies of Auto Trader sold every week and a readership estimated at close to 1.5million. Other magazines in the group include Farmers Trader, Classic American and 2nd Byte.
In 1996, Auto Trader expanded on to the internet with the arrival of autotrader.co.uk. The website is now one of the leading sources of motoring information in the world and has become just as popular as the magazine itself. Its features include sections on both buying and selling a car. There is a car dealer directory on the Auto Trader website, along with information on where to sell and advice about trade advertising.
Before you buy a used car it is essential to do your research and make sure you know about the vehicle’s history. In this case, Auto Trader can assist you. All you have to do is enter the registration plate number of the vehicle into the Auto Trader search tool and it will provide information on the car’s previous owners as well as insight into whether the car has been written off or stolen in the past.
Auto Trader is also a good source of information for other aspects of motoring such as loans and insurance. It also includes a parts and accessories section so you can find whatever you need to modify your vehicle.
However, Auto Trader is not just about cars. There are also separate sections on the Auto Trader website devoted to bikes, vans, plant equipment, trucks, motor homes and caravans. Nevertheless, Auto Trader will always be renowned for its association with cars with hundreds of thousands of new and used vehicles available to buy online.
