Auto trader
« on: 25 November 2010, 17:29:19 »

more & more these days it apears that sellers are trying to manipulate Auto Trader, presumably to get their advert noticed  :-/
If you want £2200 for your car then advertise it for £2200 & not £995 clicky  :-?  :-?  :-? A trend used to be frrom dealers advertising a car for eg £300, but is was £300 a month on finance, but it looks like Auto Trader have stoppped that now.
I've reported a few of them to customer services enquiries@autotrader.co.uk & they have replied back to say they've deleted them  :y  :y

Under-steer is when the front of the car hits the wall, and over-steer is when the rear of the car hits the wall.
Power is how fast you hit the wall and torque is how much of the wall you take with you.
