Summer 2022 Product Update
2022 Summer Product Update
The future of automotive is already here
New fuel types, new brands, new ways to buy, and new ways to sell – the UK automotive market is changing rapidly. And with these changes come new opportunities for anyone buying and selling a vehicle.
We're helping consumers and retailers adapt to this quickly evolving landscape and embrace the exciting changes on the horizon.
Today's products just got an upgrade
More selling options than ever before
Whether it's the convenience of an instant cash offer and free home collection, or advertising privately to the largest audience of car buyers in the UK, our new and improved selling options offer more choice and control to help more people sell their car every year.
How much is this car worth?
Taking the guesswork out of pricing
Auto Trader Valuations help consumers instantly find out how much their vehicle is really worth, with the industry's most up to date and accurate valuation data at their fingertips. Handy, even if they're not ready to sell just yet.
Sell for cash, for a fair price
We launched our Instant Offer service, which uses a detailed set of questions to provide a fair and more accurate price for any car. This means consumers can sell their car quickly for cash, with confidence.
Better data, improved insights, more powerful advertising
Our retailers are getting access to the most accurate, insightful Auto Trader market data yet, plus even more powerful advertising tools. With all this at their fingertips, they can remove inefficient processes and avoid unnecessary costs.
All the essentials in one place
Super powered vehicle data
Real-time pricing that helps everyone
Auto Trader Valuations gives retailers access to real-time vehicle market values, which are now granular to each specific vehicle type, year, number plate, and mileage.
This helps them source and price vehicles with more confidence.
Insurers and finance lenders are also now using our live valuations to help accurately underwrite their risk and forecast future vehicle values – handy!
And we're already accelerating into the future
Bringing more of the car buying journey online
Buying a car has traditionally been an in-person process, but no longer. Now we're giving consumers control to do more (or all) of the process online from wherever they like. This includes part-exchanging, financing, reserving, and arranging collection or home delivery – welcome to a more flexible future of online car buying!
We built the best for both worlds – see the buyer and seller journeys side by side
Buyers can do more online
Deal Builder is our brand new online car ordering journey, putting the consumer in control. They can part-exchange, apply for finance, reserve, and arrange delivery all in one end-to-end online experience.
... with extra flexibility and support
Consumers can pick and choose the bits they feel most comfortable doing online, while our visual tips and tools help guide them through the journey.
Sell from anywhere, buy from anywhere
Our Market Extension product gives every retail seller the power to advertise on a national scale. This creates greater choice for consumers across the UK, giving them the option to buy and get home delivery on a much wider range of cars.
A confidence boost to buy online
Retail sellers can now give consumers extra reassurance when they buy online, thanks to the introduction of our Seller Promise. With confidence-boosting warranties, full quality checks and money-back guarantees, buyers get the assurances they need to order their car online.
Online finance, made easy
Our online finance application journey uses clear, jargon-free guidance to help consumers get full car finance approval from the comfort of home. And by integrating our product directly with lenders, we have simplified the finance sales process for our retail sellers.
