Autotrader Challenge

[bennno]

After a cheap hack for the wife to take dogs to beach, so searched Autotrader, selected just private sales + 20 mile radius - got back 4 results.... can anybody beat this selection - what are you getting?

Private sales 20 mile radius and no other criteria? If I do that I get 2600 cars

No other criteria, other than sort by distance, they were the first 4.

I get 464 results.

Sorting price High to Low I get an Aventador, X7 M60i, Merc C63 and an R8 V10.

Sorted by relevance.

Mine were. 1, a 2006 Astra SRi 1.8 Estate. 2, a 2007 Peugeot 307 1.6 HDi. 3 a 1973 1303s. And 4 a 2009 Proton Gen-2 1.6GLS

I don't like this game.

edit, just noticed the distance criteria. A Hyundai i40, a Peugeot camper van, an Audi A5 and a snotty Vectra. Not much less bleak.

Top 4 for me are a 2018 Mercedes C200 estate @ £20,150, a 2009 A4 1.8TFSI @ £3,400, a 2015 RR 3.0TD V6 Vogue @ £23,900 and a 2010 Lotus Elise @ £20,950. That's a Cat N though. Ignoring that, the next one is a 2013 RR 4.4 SD V8 Vogue @ £19,950

Not a great selection!



I think I would have more fun in the bottom selection. I used to have a jeep Liberty.

I just sorted by distance to bring up the 4 closest cars - but a good selection near you

Hmmm, very poor.

First 4, no sort, just Private <20miles

1997 P Audi A4 1.8 4dr 204k £275
2012 12 Vx Insignia 2.0CDTi ES 5 Dr 107k £1250
2009 59 Fiat 500 1.3 Multijet 3Dr 92k £1250
2009 59 Chevy Lacetti 1.4 SE 5dr 46k £775

By price more interesting.
Aventador, Bentayga, Macan, Taycan.

Distance
CBA to sort gives stuff over 20 miles in a mix of decent, M-B A class AMG, Boxster just down the road, then dealer stuff incl new sales, nothing like the tat listed at the top though.
