Main dealers in PH classifieds

[Fox-]

Is it just me being annoying or does anyone else find it frustrating that there are so many main dealer cars in PH classifieds these days? It's getting quite ridiculous - take the E90 3 Series section for example. There are no less than two and a half thousand adverts in this section. You have to go 20 pages in, sorted by age, until you are clear of the main dealer 318d and 320d's on 2010 plates!

I've always used PH as a place to find interesting PHy cars from specialist dealers and private sellers. Now I find myself spending all my time wading through franchised main dealers approved used stock trying to weed out what now seems like the needle in the haystack. I know there is a filter but that kinda takes the fun out of the casual browse of the classifieds on a Sunday night.

I've nothing against approved used stock - infact quite the opposite - but I generally just browse these through the manufacturers website anyway.

Anyone else find this, or should I just stop moaning?

Not just you, I find it really annoying too.

You see the filter button in the classifieds? You can remove trade adverts

I don't want to do this as I'm quite happy to see that lovely high spec XYZ from Bobs Specialist Motors.

Ahh ok, so you want to remove the franchised dealers but not the independent ones? In that case I can see the problem.

You could try changing the years to remove the nearly new ones.
