What's wrong with tootle?

[spikeyhead]

keep getting a 503 error, anyone know if they've gone bust or is their IT guy on holiday?

Hmmm

I noticed something was up when I went on a few days ago and a message poppped up saying they werent accepting any new cars.

Methinks they might have gone pop...

Hope not
As was intending on using them very shortly.

Shame as it seemed to work well as a concept.Ive used them a couple of times and it was hassle free.

Sadly (as a founder of Tootle- but not involved recently) I think they have gone bust.

The main issue when I was involved was the cost of acquisition of each client and then a poor conversion to sale and our fee.

Cracking business idea with huge potential.

Very, very sad to see my baby go.....

I have to agree a cracking business idea. By 'client' do you mean Joe Public putting their cars up on the website? I imagine traders would have fallen over themselves to be able to have a new buying source, as opposed to the ste at BCA etc?

Any alternatives anyone can recommend?
I was just about to list my car on tootle

Old thread I know but are there any other sites that do the same thing Tootle did? (traders bidding for your car, not wizzle which is a WBAC type-comparison site)

Probably closer to WBAC but a few dealers automatically offer quotes. I've only seen it advertised on TV and can't offer an opinion if they are any good.
