BEWARE OF SCAMMERS

As freecarclassifieds grows in popularity we are having reports of an increased amount of "scammers". These people will usually email sellers, posing as buyers, showing an interest in a car without even seeing it, often suggesting scams like cheques paid with the expectation of refunding the difference, or premium rate phone numbers given.

Unfortunately there is nothing we can do to stop these people, so please be on your guard. In general, if something seems suspicious, it probably is, so do not enter into any dealings with the "buyer". Genuine buyers will contact you in the appropriate way - just remember that genuine buyers will almost always want to see the car first.

Free car classifieds - the best way to sell a used car or buy a used car online!

OK, so you want to sell your used car, but it annoys you that you have to pay a magazine or website just to show your ad. After all, you’ve done most of the work - you took the digital pictures, you wrote the ad, and let’s face it, cars are expensive enough anyway!

That’s why freecarclassifieds.co.uk exists.

We believe the power of the internet means that people should be able to buy and sell used cars for free.

Our philosophy is simple – offer a free site which gives buyers all the same search features offered by the leading paid-for sites, and sellers/dealers more space to write their car ads, like the leading auction sites.

This way, if everyone uses free car ads, no-one will ever have to pay to sell a car again! Then we can all spend our money on better things – like the car itself!

All you need to place your free car ads with freecarclassifieds is up to 4 digital photos (you don’t have to have these but free car ads are much more likely to sell a car with them as people like to see cars before they buy).

You can place your free car ads as soon as you have registered, which only takes a few minutes, and you can advertise as many different cars as you want to sell, provided each is done in a separate ad.

Remember: Don’t forget to renew your ad!!!

Once your ad has been posted it will appear in a buyer’s search for 6 weeks. To avoid cars which have been sold staying on the system, ads will be automatically removed from searches after 6 weeks unless you renew them for another 6, and so on. There is no limit to the number of times you can renew your ad. We'll remind you with an email a few days before expiry date, too.

Many of you have asked if there is a fee when your car is sold, and the answer is easy - no! There are absolutely no charges for using this site, ever.

BEWARE SCAMMERS

When your email address is visible it is possible for scammers to email you enquiring about your car. Unfortunately there is nothing we can do about this, other than advising you remove your email address. However, as long as you ignore them, they are no more than an annoyance. As such, we recommend you use common sense when replying to emails. Usually the scammers will use British-sounding names and will discuss money ("last prices") etc. before having even seen the car in person. In general, most genuine buyers will want to view a car physically before they discuss price or payment options, so be on your guard.

In short, if you suspect a scammer, you are probably right, so simply ignore the email. If the buyer is genuine, they will contact you via another means.

We have provided the best quality search facilities (see below for Advanced features) to make it simple for you to search for the car you want to buy:

The internet is fast becoming the main way for people to search for the car they want before they have a look at the real thing.

Sometimes customers may have driven past your dealership on the way to work or heard about you through word of mouth but simply want to look at a car at their convenience.

freecarclassifieds.co.uk is a free and simple way for you to do this.

As the dealer network is such an important part of the second hand or used car marketplace, we have included the ability to display your dealer name so that customers can enter it to see all the stock you have posted on the site.

You may also post a link so that customers can click through to your own website if you have one. Not only will this increase your website traffic but as another link it will help your website search results.

We will even help you produce business cards which remind people of your business and of this site so they can see your up-to-date stock list. Click here to email us if you are interested in this.
