    Carzone & Autotrader UK are the same company as carzone were bought out by AT.
    I wouldn't be too suprised to see carzone rebranded as the new Autotrader.ie site in the future.

    Go to www.google.co.uk .......type in used cars as a UK search only and your question will be answered. There are quite a few to choose from of varying qualities.

    Just be careful as some of the sites look similer to AT but are really just massive supermarkets selling their own vehicles - and as a few people will tell you, they are not the place to go for a bargain.

    Not bad for cars in the North.

    E-bay motors isn't bad either, but a lot of the cars on there are listed elsewhere as well.

    Also worth checking out owner forums as these frequently have 'for sale' sections, and you can check the owner's previous posts to get a flavour for any prior issues with the car.

    There is also an Irish company that specializes in importing cars from the UK.
    www.ukcars.ie

    Would you try any of the car supermarkets like carcraft, fords of windsor or cargiant? Be aware that while they can be cheaper, many people can't stand dealing with them. I've never tried them but would consider it.

    Try Steve Goldsmith Cars, he specialises in low mileage and also in importing into Ireland.

    The best two by far are

    Autotrader.co.uk
    and
    ebay.co.uk

    All the rest are only living off scraps.

    Of the two, the better place to pick up a bargin is ebay.
    Autotrader will have a better selection of newer more expensive cars.

    IMO, over the last 6 months the numbers on Autotrader are falling and the numbers on eBay are growing.

    The ads on eBay are usually better as every ad will have a good bit of text and a good few pictures.

    Personally, I'm a big fan of eBay motors.

    If you are looking for a more specialised car try the car owners club forums for cars for sale....
