Auto Trader was the first Trader Media Group title to come to market and it remains our flagship publication – the numbers are impressive. The magazine is published weekly in 13 regions, providing unrivalled depth and breadth of coverage across the UK. There are 251,252 copies of Auto Trader sold per week (ABC Jan-Dec 2007) with a total annual print run amounting to some 22,000,000 copies. Not only this, but a loyal readership estimated at just under 1.38 million (NRS – Jan - Dec 2007)

Auto Trader publishes around 370,000 cars listed in all its weekly editions (web and print together). Because Auto Trader has such a great reputation with private buyers and sellers it is also widely used by the motoring trade to list their stock. Over 80% of vehicles listed are from independent dealers, car supermarkets and franchised dealers offering the best deals across the country. Of particular interest to the trade is our new car section. This was added to the magazine in 2002 and has been performing strongly ever since, providing buyers with an unrivalled selection of new and used vehicles.

The magazine’s associated website, www.autotrader.co.uk was launched in 1996 and has become every bit as popular and high profile as its print title cousin.
