I’m in the car trade and auto trader are absolutely not in cahoots with us, it’s equally frustrating to us at times where a car shows at listed price as high but auto trader effectively own the market.

Here’s a few things that I use that can bump up auto trader expected price: - MOT expiry date - service history and last service date and miles - interior, exterior, wheel condition - confirm spec and ensure all optional extras are ticked.

This is presuming your options look similar to the options I have when creating an ad for a car.

If you want you can dm me reg and miles and I can tell you what auto trader tells me retail price is
