What are the new features?
Best Offer: Best Offer allows buyers to make an offer for a car that you have listed: you set an “autodecline” price to automatically screen out offers that are unacceptable, leaving you with a list of promising leads. To give you the chance to see if it works for you we’re offering a 2 month free trial – just contact the team to set this up*.
Showroom Plus: This is a premium version of the existing Showroom (which will remain free). As well as a different layout, you get a unique web address for your showroom and you can customise the order of the listings on your page.
Showcase Plus: This is a “Flash” version of the existing Showcase (which will remain free). You can embed it on your personal web page, on blogs or on other sites.
Custom Templates: Some users have asked us to introduce a facility to replace the default Motors Pro view item page template with their own design, and to include links to additional information on their own sites. For more information on accessing this feature and on pricing, please call our team.
Please note that for users of third party data uploaders the provision of features is at the discretion of the third party.
* You need to have either a credit card on-file or 10 Feedback to use Best Offer – contact our team for more details.
I don’t currently have a contract - can I sign up to one now?
Assuming you do not currently have a contract then yes you can, and if you do so you can get 12 months for the price of 10. Just contact our team for details.
I currently have a contract – will anything change for me?
If you are currently under contract then your price won’t change until your current deal expires. When it does, you will be able to take a new contract under the new terms but still offering you 12 months for the price of 10. You will be able to add features whenever you like.
How do I add features?
If you would like to add a feature just call our team on 0845 358 0240.
Why are you increasing prices?
Unlike some of our competitors we have not increased our prices since January 2008, and since then we have continued to develop the platform with new features and have invested in our customer support. We believe the platform still delivers great value for money, and we will continue to invest to develop it further in the future.
