Thanks for the replies.

At least AutoTrader shows clearly if the car is a Cat C or Cat D write off.

I put an advert on Gumtree and when I googled my car registration, all my photos appeared on another web site: carnapper.co.uk.

They had stolen my photos from Gumtree. Although they have removed my listing after I complained, but I am not too impressed with their shoddy business practices of stealing photos without my permission.

carnapper.co.uk.say, they copy text and images from historic ads. My car had a fault, which has since been repaired. I was honest enough to list the fault in my original advert on gumtree, but I have since has the fault repaired, but it gives potential buyer out-of-date information or that I could be hidding something.....

If the Mrs finds out you've been cruising round town slowly you'll have some explaining to do John F :-)
