buyacar.co.uk online history

9TH JULY, 2010

To complement our new car business, buyacar.co.uk today announce the launch of light commercial vehicles (LCV's) for sale. This effectively doubles the number of vehicles for sale on buyacar to over 10,000.

We believe that our simple search and quote process is something that should be available to anyone buying a vehicle, whether it's a car or a minibus. Our commercial partners are excited to see buyacar expanding into new product areas and we believe we can achieve the same positive results for LCV's that we have with new cars.

Buyacar.co.uk re-launched our new car search to make it easier to use and to promote more cars from the beginning. Our last faceted search engine was extremely comprehensive and took a few links before customers were recommended cars. It worked really well, but there's always room for improvement.

The new search also creates a search template for commercial vehicles and used cars so that the search across each will be consistent. Feedback has been really positive as the style fits better into the buyacar brand aesthetic and has a good balance between being sales and useful.

We are proud to announce the launch of our CAR NEWS section. This new feature of the buyacar.co.uk site provides features and news about the areas of buying, owning and selling cars. There's a lifecycle to owning a car that starts from the idea of owning one through buying and running a car through to selling or part-exchanging that car in the future.

Buyacar.co.uk became the first company in the UK to offer a home page for every new car available to buy. The new home pages include all the brochure information for the new car and a choice of options for owners.

This gives every new car in the UK a home, so that anyone looking for information on any available new car can find it 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. Our independence from any particular manufacturer gives us the ability to offer impartial advice, helping our customers find the car that's right for them not the car that we make the most money on.
