Carsales 12+

Performance

Love the Carsales app, have sold 4 vehicles on it and purchased my last 3 from it.

Am in the market for a sporty SUV and I found with all of the engine sizes, turbo, supercharged, twin turbo, power to weight ratio data it a bit time consuming to find a few options to look at. Simply looking for a V8 or high kw option does not necessarily give you the best options, I thought I had narrowed down my options over the past few weeks but recently stumbled across the BMW X4 Diesel option which ticks a lot of the boxes we are looking for. I thought a handy search criteria would be 0-100 times so you can simply select an upper time to highlight some of the sportier models. Most of the vehicles have this data in the add anyway so it’s already there so shouldn’t be too difficult to add. Fuel usage may be another option some (not me) would consider something to narrow down their selection by, again the X4 in the Diesel option is also quite frugal while still offering
Low 5 second 0-100 times so may not be on everyone’s radar when it comes to vehicle choice.

It used to be better

I have loved the app for years and would have given it five stars if it had left the previous format. I hate how the photo viewing function has changed. I used to be able to just rotate my phone to view the photos in an ad now I have to scroll back up and click on the photo and click to exit as well. I also don’t like the change to the zoom function when you double tap the photo. It used to go to an ideal magnification but now goes that close its over pixelated and annoying, especially using it with one hand.
Would like to see more filtering options in your saved cars, eg price, kms, body type, etc...
Child restraint points would be another good filter type in features.
A few slight annoyances but still the best app out there.

Scum that Rip Off People Continually

DO not buy any Toyota GX 4WD without checking if car has been resprayed, car hasn’t been sandblasted for rust then covered in black paint. The car will most likely be Grafite Grey badged with GX badges, advertised with all GX accessories of which it won’t even have blue tooth. Check the registration because he /she will lie when paying the CTP Slip which Insurance then suspend the registration & you’ll be driving a car with no rego or Insurance. Even though he has been advised, he doesn’t care in the slightest. The price they will be asking is about $58,000. This person has zero empathy nor any feeling for anyone. They have done this over 50 times then threaten you. If you’ve been ripped off by this person don’t back down & remember the receipt means nothing if a car is sold fraudulently or anything has deliberately been misleading. They will also write on the receipt “car taken as is as now” & sadly think they can hide behind the receipt. That is not legally the case. Good luck to anyone who has been & is affected by these people I say these because yesterday he had a car up under a females name today under a males name.
