What are the biggest car sale sites?

[Deisel Weisel]

I’m sick as a pig, having missed out on exactly the car I wanted, and at a bargain price. So now I’m getting obsessed about not missing out again. So need a list of all the biggest car sales sites. I have:

Ebay

Gumtree
On Gumtree, how do you set it, so it searches the entire UK? It looks like you’re restricted to whatever region you set it to.

Auto trader
Pistonheads
Loot
Exchange mart
Fish 4 cars
Motors.co.uk
Desperate Seller

Any others?

For UK Gumtree search try http://ilumu.com

Cheers. Already keeping an eye on the relevant car forum.

Appears not to search the whole of the UK. This is a search for ‘Almera GTi’ via the Gumtree site, where location is set to London: http://www.gumtree.com/cgi-bin/list_postings.pl?se...

UK search on Ilumu for the same, and most of the above don't appear in the results: http://ilumu.com/search.php?cx=0015447630538043527...

Ignore what I said above, Hanslow, it does include those, so that will be very useful. Cheers.

On gumtree- top right corner should say something similar to 'Gumtree is changing, find out more"
click this and access the new beta site- allows you to specify 'united kingdom'

Found it: http://www.gumtree.com/?1273362007 And that's better still, because you get the pics in the search results, unlike Ilumu. Cheers.
