Can I search through old adverts?

[m1spw]

Is ther eany way to search through old adverts from the PH classifieds?

I want to see what kind of value a certain car has been selling for in the past and I doubt many have been sold on PH but I do know of 2. So is there any way of finding old adverts easily?

I was actually thinking of posting the same.

I wanted to dig up the ad for a car I actually bought from PH classifieds but it's a couple of years agon now so ...

Cheers,

They're still in the database but given that people expect their ads to be on for a certain period I don't think it would be right for me to then republish them.

Ok. I've found a way to get them, its just very arkward. If you search for the car on google, you sometimes get a link that comes up at petrolheads.co.uk/.... etc ending in one of the advert codes. If you click 'cached' then it opens the page up as it was when the advert was on PH.

Brilliant - found it! :biglaught:

Don't know why I didn't think of that in the first place.
