Selling your car online is the easiest and most reliable way of achieving the highest possible price quickly for the vehicle without the hassle and haggling (and inevitable low price) you get with part-exchanging – The icLocal website has always been a great place to advertise your car for sale and now that it’s free it really is a no brainer.

Previously adverts were extremely competitively priced with a car or other vehicle being advertised competitively from as little as £3.99. However icLocal’s Marketing Director spoke directly to hundreds of sellers to seek feedback on their own and other car advertising website’s pricing to see how waiving this fee would affect consumer trends. As a result the car advertising is now free and it’s not to be sniffed at.

Your classified ad on icLocal’s website is the same high-quality advert as it was before; an audience of Millions can browse to your advert easily and contact you directly or through the website – No change at all from the previous chargeable adverts.

Charges were dropped for advertising your vehicle on the website after a significant survey of private motor sellers who said they would rather advertise free of charge to minimise outlay but still have the option to upgrade their adverts should they wish to do so. icLocal’s survey also discovered that the free adverts would free up on average £39 per seller and the money would most likely be used to clean the vehicle professionally prior to selling as well as make minor cosmetic enhancements to help the seller achieve a better price.

“We have always aspired to become the quickest and easiest to use classified ads website for UK buyers and sellers. Our move to offer free vehicle ads for everyone shows that we are a forward moving and seller-friendly website that listens to our customer’s feedback”.

“Sellers told us that selling a car online was often frustrating when a significant upfront cost came with absolutely no guarantees. Taking away the need to pay up-front allows sellers a risk free option to advertise their vehicle, along with more cash to help improve the appearance of the vehicle. This in turn helps give a better impression to potential buyers and helps the seller achieve a higher selling price.”.

“Our ambition is to help sellers sell and make it as easy as possible for buyers to buy. Buyers want all the information in front of them and sellers have the option to provide as much detail as they feel necessary within their free classified advert”.

Classified adverts have been used for decades to advertise motor vehicles for sale either in local or national presses or more recently online, but usually a significant financial outlay has been associated with no real guarantee of a sale. Nowadays the internet is a competitive market throughout and selling your car has been made as simple and effective as possible by icLocal, using modern technology blended with traditional advertising methods.

Looking at the history of classified advertising, adverts have grown bigger and consumers demand more and more information while sellers are constantly seeking to get the best advert for the least amount of effort and the lowest cost.

All this has been taken into consideration and the outcome is simple – The best available classified adverts for cars with no financial commitment required whatsoever. Advertising cars is as simple as writing a description, taking some photos and naming your price.

Options are available to upgrade your advert by helping it stand out in search results and category pages, a feature which sellers will be familiar with on popular auction websites and similar online selling sites. Highlighting your ad does encourage more views and if you’re selling a popular vehicle then a few pounds here is not the high outlay often required elsewhere, and you will see considerable results.

The website
The website has been designed to be fast loading and easy to navigate, without compromising on quality and features. Users of the website will find the category they want quickly and searching locally can be done from the top of the homepage by keyword and radius.

“We designed the website based on the wants and needs of consumers. Other classified ads websites are often slow loading and crammed full of monetizing adverts which are often of little or no interest to buyers. Our strategy was to make a website that’s quick, easy to use and full of easy-to-find and useful information.”

Of course we have had to include a nominal amount of 3rd party advertising but we have done so in a manner that is non-intrusive and have aimed to make 3rd party advertising as relevant and useful as possible, throughout the website”.

Looking across the range of categories the website already offers to advertise your items online (including property, pets, jobs and furniture) it’s easy to see that the website has ambition and offers visitors a simple journey to products that they actually want. Cars and motors is no different and all the information is there at your fingertips to make an easy purchase.

There’s plenty of potential here for the small or large trader. Individuals are limited to 3 simultaneous adverts whereby traders and business users can get their entire product ranges advertised on the site for a set fee – Business customers should contact icLocal directly to set up a dedicated account.
