Autotrader Web, Magazine, Or Both?

Whats the best option these days?

£33 for 1 week in the mag and 2 weeks on the web.

£50 for 2 weeks in the mag or 3 weeks on the web.

£16.99 for 2 weeks web only.

£34.99 with 6 weeks on the web.

I reckon that the web only offer is the best, as I am getting the longest amount of exposure possible. Most people are clued up and on the web these days. What do you all think?

Haven't used the magazine in ages only use the web autotrader. Also use free adds www.adtrader.co.uk.

Most people use the web I would imagine, by the time the mags out the cars 90% of the times sold.

Cheers, just put it on adtrader. I think I will go with the 6 weeks web only, I reckon most serious buyers will check the web before they check the mag anyway.

I just sold mine in 2.5 weeks on Pistonheads. No costs involved either...

Did web for 2 weeks and sold within 1. Pistonheads and ebay were hopeless

When i was looking for cars i used the net for over a month and bought one mag. Personally id go for just the web.

Web only and had loads of calls for my 156 Sportswagon. I thought it was going to be difficult to shift. The mag was a waste of time didn't get a single call.
