I bought a car -but the auto trader ad has gone -please help

[manny0121]

Hello,

I just bought a car 1 hour ago and would like to print off the ad for my own files and logs.

How do i access it? when i click the link it says - "We're sorry, the vehicle you are looking for is no longer available. Here are some you may also like"

I have tried wayback machine but no luck...

Gone forever as expected because you have bought it??

[manny0121]

Yeah, i know but i wanted to know if it was possible to get a copy of it for my records

From a dealer? go visit their own website - rarely is a car for sale that isn't on other site here/trader/ebay etc

Post the link of where it was and you can get the cached result back.

If you still have the direct link to the advert, you could try "Google Cached Pages of Any Website". If you google "cached pages" its the first result.

Or send us the direct link and we/I can try and find it.

edit: beaten to it!

look in your internet history for the URL

then type that URL into google and see if it has a cache of it.

If not try here: https://archive.org/web/

It appears that we have lots of great minds thinking alike.

ask the dealer. It'll still be on their autotrader dashboard, just not 'live'.

They won't have deleted it completely, in case your sale doesn't go through and they have to re-list it.

That's not a link to the advert.. it's not going to work like that given all you've given us is a page of filters.

The link looks correct but the ads expired so they've put a 301 on it that redirects to the homepage meaning you can get to it anymore.
