Car dealers poor websites

[Lester H]

Apologies if this has been covered, but I can’t find anything. Been looking, as many will on here, at national sites like Autotrader and big ,familiar name, dealers.. Mainly for interest. Fed up with putting in all criteria, very specific, but then, a car pops up far away, or at a different price than asked for, or even a different make of car! Supermarkets with several branches love to list cars at all their outlets not just local one. Some main dealers near me with decent reputations often have very awkward sites or just try to divert you to brand new. Finally, small dealers whose items concentrate on themselves, instead of the car.

Try to lay off drinking on a Monday would be the best advice

Do you like an eggy fart ? Sniff one and inhale it. That’ll help you through.

It is all deliberate, they don't want to sell cars.

O.P. here: the point was frustration with poorly designed websites.

Some of the responses have given me a laugh

But yes I do find it odd when a description is 5 paragraphs of how great the dealer is and then at the bottom the actual info on the car is "Blue £10000''

I feel your frustration, a lot of them seem so poorly designed

Totally agree op.
Search for a car local to me on autotrader and top 4 results are 'sponsored' for a different make 200 miles away, followed by some more 'featured' cars bearing no commonality to the Search. Waste of prime screen estate as well as my thumb strokes.

Also i was on a site having a deja vu and realised its identical to another different garage. Loads of them all same template.

I need to get out more...

I was looking for a car on Autotrader and can't believe how bad its become now.
Had a 50 mile search radius set up yet it kept showing multiple cars 100-200 miles away constantly, plus the ad sales with cars again miles out of my search area.

I've found that really annoying.
Been looking recently at M2 Comps and a few have been exactly as you say.
Then just a huge list of auto filled nonsense, listing bits like "seat belts".
