The Car Expert’s free AI assistant can now search for more than 600,000 cars for sale across the UK.
Buyers can describe their budget, location and essential requirements, then explore a shortlist of matching cars. The Car Expert’s independent Expert Ratings help them assess the models before deciding which individual vehicles to investigate further.
Lee Williams, board advisor at The Car Expert, said: “Used-car adverts moved online years ago, but buyers still have to do an enormous amount of searching and second-guessing.
“For customers, this could be the biggest step forward in buying a used car in a decade: tell us what you need, and the technology searches 600,000 cars to help you find a sensible place to start.”
A buyer can refine the search as they learn more about their options, rather than starting again with new filters.
Buyers can ask about running costs, safety or whether an electric car would suit their circumstances.
The free assistant’s answers draw on the company’s Expert Rating Index. The listings are updated through The Car Expert’s partnership with Clear Vehicle Data.
Williams said: “When we first put car adverts online, we made it easier to see what was for sale. This is the next leap: helping people work out what is actually worth looking at.
“Price and mileage alone cannot tell you whether a car fits your life, whether the model is well regarded or whether its running costs will stretch your budget.”
