Noticed in last couple of months or so a distinct change in the cars for sale. Many classics from abroad taking a prominent appearance in the sales list, especially Italy. Huge and daft asking prices, a great pity as this site was always filled with enthusiasts cars, now it’s full of overpriced dealers stuff, much from overseas.

Some of the classified prices asked are ridiculous, especially for motorbikes.

Some are beyond ridiculous imo, the site used to be good for enthusiasts to trade cars, now it’s simply full of nonsense. Very sad really to see so much nonsensical greed. I blame the FOC advertising, if charges were made it would discourage the idiots.

I know you get what you pay for, but for us window shoppers it would be nice to be able to sort by price and have >5 photos.

The blog part of the site isn't too bad either.

^^^^^^
Sorting by price used to be good on various sites like A.T. Not so sure now though as prices are so all over the place, I’ve seen an nice Austin 7 for £8500 and it’s still not sold.Look at others and they are priced at 15k -19.5k rofl
If ad’s had to be paid for it would remove all the chaff.

Have seen a mid sixties Honda 250 SS and it’s been for sale forever at 5.5k.

So why don't you create your own site then, and have it set out as you want it? scratchchin
