When comes to buy cars, what site gives more credible prices, Ebay or Auto trader?
The prices on auto trader are not usually realistic
I would classify myself as a specialist who SCRUTINEERS in depth information on motor vehicles. I specialise in exporting all kinds of vehicle from the USA to the UK. As part of my DAILY routine I spend HOURS analysing EBAY, AUTO TRADER, EXCHANGE and MART along with CAR and CLASSIC.
No matter whether I research EBAY, AUTO TRADER, EXCHANGE and MART or CAR and CLASSIC, I use two main guidelines to ALL vehicle prices in the UK (as this is where I export all my vehicles and motorcycles to from the USA), are GLASS’S Used Car Prices, Vehicle Valuations and also Motor Cycle Prices and also PARKERS Car Price Guide.
GLASS’S has an unbeatable reputation and has been in publication since 1933 and statistics have proved conclusively that over 90% of ALL car dealers and private buyers and seller alike use GLASS’S Guide.
PARKERS on the other hand has only been in publication since 1997, and I personally consider that their publication has a little more limitations than GLASS’S GUIDE.
Let us compare PARKERS against GLASS’S:
PARKERS:
* Independent reviews for 28,000 cars
* Car prices for every model since 1989
* New and used cars for sale
* Van reviews and bike prices
NOW LOOK AT GLASS’S:
Thousands more cars are sold each day using
Glass’s valuations as opposed to PARKERS.
The Editors of GLASS’S have years more experience and you can tap into their knowledge and get an accurate valuation for your part-exchange or your next used car within minutes!
Once you have obtained your used car valuation from the site,
make sure to have a look at their editorial content – from road tests of cars and video content to blogs, from their Editors (the guys who calculate the valuations) and their latest feature ‘Ask the Editor’ where John Glynn our Consumer Values Editor answers questions submitted by users who have bought a used car valuation and have raised an appropriate query. This service is quite simply amazing.
So my best serious advice and counsel after having purchased and sold many cars over the years is, LOOK AT EBAY AND AUTO TRADER BY ALL MEANS, but your conclusions should be drawn from comparing whatever vehicle, from the comprehensive and unbiased data published by GLASS’S GUIDE and PARKERS.
I never buy or sell ANY VEHICLE from anywhere without using both of these publications.
Trust this is helpful to you.
If there is any way in which I can help you further, please do not hesitate to contact me.

Auto Trader by far. Also, try out Cars.com & even Carmax

Depends what you mean by credible. I usually go by http://www.parkers.co.uk to give a good idea of used prices. Autotrader have a great choice of private & trade sellers, but Ebay can be cheaper (although not necessarily so).
Remember that Ebay is an auction site – the idea is that you bid, you buy – there is very different legal protection when buying a car via a classified ad, either on Autotrader, Ebay or in the printed press.
I’ve bought & sold several cars on Ebay – as long as you know what you’re doing & accept their terms, it’s OK, but remember, most of the time, you’re bidding unseen & with no returns, so expect to pay less.

Auto-trader does! you seem to get alot less than you bargain for on ebay although there are some good deals. I would personally prefer to use Auto-trader ! 🙂 hope this helps!
Ebay – 7/10
Auto-trader – 9/10

The most credible prices will always be found in the Kellys blue book. It is the industry standard, after all.

Carro usado se compra de amigo de amigo , poderá conhecer o istorico do mesmo, poderá pinchichar ( faze contra oferta ) .
Carro Zero somente revenda autorizada, assim mesmo depende qual é a revenda.
Hoje em dia por causa do preço da gasolina da até para pedir preço menor em agencia autorizada de veículos, os ”SUV”’ nos USA está sendo quase dado, mas come uma gasolina fora de serie.
Em que pais vai ou pretende comprar, se for Dunbai , tem que regatear, fazer contra oferta EX; pedi 1.000 ofereça 600 , ai negocie por 720 , deu para entender.Padre.
Se for no Brasil tem que tomar muitíssimo cuidado os ""picaretas de automóvel são muito ladinos, espertos, te vende um carro roubado, ou batido, pelo preço de um novo, cuide-se. . Padre.
Boa sorte tks

neither really…i use both as a guide,but nothing is guaranteed….if someone wants a car,and there bidding on it,it may go over the ”book price” who’s to say it isn’t worth it?….

i take an average price from several adverts in autotrader and use it as a rough guide.
i avoid ebay as you never know if a seller has their mates bidding the price up.
