How can I find out the age of a classified advert? I see that some of them have the age, but others don't. Is this a trade / premium / bogo free type feature?

Private adverts show the age, but trade adverts do not as dealers tend to keep stock for longer and often re-submit the same advert several times.

I guess that makes sense, shame we can't see how long a dealer has had a car though.

Also, whilst you are here Mr Will, any chance of an RSS feed for the classifieds? smile

There's an RSS feed for each category. Just look under the left hand menu when viewing the listings.

You could roughly work it out by the Reference of the advert as these go up by 1 for every advert, so a number much lower shows an advert that has probably been on for longer (though it could have just been sitting in their management area waiting for some details, so not a definite identifier)
