Only a matter of time, farewell auto trade sold many a car via them . Will it be kit car magazine next i bet it sells less than that with constant repeats and old ads.





Think about it, think about it again and then do it.

Sad, but inevitable!

Used to enjoy picking up a copy and scanning the different sections. Not the same online somehow.

I agree its not the same, and have enjoyed flicking through from time to time to, but I must say i dont do it often, and havent bought a car based on the mag ever, normally if I buy a copy for a long holiday, but even that's only every few years, few times a year I'll look though a copy, but its a mates or at the service station without buying.

Lunchtime, online is the choice, because its available without forthought and the buying of a paper copy the night before.

Pistonheads is also very good.

Of the three cars ive bought, one was autotrader online (a pug306 ,my previous tintop), one was pistonheads (current tintop, an e36 comp), and the third via a forum before the car was even advertised (the kitcar).

Trailer came off a forum add.

Parents cars have all come of autotrader online for last ten years or so.

While we're hear, do glass's still publish a paper guide? Always thought the website was a bit poor but would never buy the paper guide.

End of an era - I used to buy it religiously, every week when I was an apprentice years ago.
Bought a fair few cars out of it - I haven't bought it for quite some years now.

most of us here will have bought it and scanned mevery page for cars, all my cars were purchased from there (main driver was last car i got from it 14 years ago, kit car came from ebay 7 years later).

the top shelf nudey magazines will disappear as there is an abundance free naughtiness on the web, so they tell me.

I bought a copy today for old times sake.

I would generally buy it just for a laugh when on holiday doing the virtual garage type game.

If I was actually looking to buy then it would all be online, which I guess is why there have ended up stopping...
