Auto Trader

Auto Trader publishes around 370,000 cars listed in all its weekly editions (web and print together). Because Auto Trader has such a great reputation with private buyers and sellers it is also widely used by the motoring trade to list their stock. Over 80% of vehicles listed are from independent dealers, car supermarkets and franchised dealers offering the best deals across the country. Of particular interest to the trade is our new car section. This was added to the magazine in 2002 and has been performing strongly ever since, providing buyers with an unrivalled selection of new and used vehicles.
The magazine’s associated website, www.autotrader.co.uk was launched in 1996 and has become every bit as popular and high profile as its print title cousin.
