Break the monopoly! MotorAds offers a simple, low-cost platform for dealers and private sellers to reach buyers nationwide
Hi, I have been a car dealer for over 10 years. I know what it’s like to run a busy dealership and watch huge portions of your hard-earned profit being swallowed by greedy monopolies like Autotrader and others.
The costs are outrageous, and the system feels rigged against us.
UK car dealers and private sellers are being charged exorbitant fees by the massive monopolies – most often running into thousands of pounds per month, and even upwards of tens of thousands of pounds each and every month.
These fees are not just unfair - they stifle competition and hurt both sellers and buyers.
That’s why I have spent a huge amount of time and money, building MotorAds—a fair, affordable marketplace built by a dealer, for dealers and private sellers.
Small dealers and private sellers shouldn’t have to choose between exposure and profit. The current system is broken.
It's time for something new!
Our mission is simple: give you control back, bring your listing costs to a minimum, and connect you with buyers without the monopoly squeeze.
We want you in our community of dealers, shaping and building the future of online vehicle trading.
With your support, we can launch a platform that truly listens to, and serves the needs of the automotive community.
With your support, we can:
• Complete development and launch the MotorAds platform
• Market it so it reaches every corner of the UK and drives customers to the platform
• Keep listing fees low and transparent for everyone
• Build a sustainable, independent alternative to the current monopolies
With team effort we can launch a platform that truly serves the automotive community instead of exploiting it.
The more dealers that join up, the lower the cost will be for everyone.
Every contribution brings us closer to a fair marketplace for all.
This isn’t just a website; it’s a movement to finally level the playing field for sellers.
