This looks like it was pulled straight off of Shift. See https://carcela.com/jobs.html and https://shift.com/careers as well as every other page.

#15Went through the 'find out how much your car is worth' forms (which offers only wrong model options) only for it to ask for an email address at the end, which I'm not gonna give. Especially when on AutoTrader it's a two field form and an instant result.

We have a car in Australia called the Pajero and no one cares. I doubt this will be an issue for this UK company.

which make and model is your car? and when you say autotrader has a two-field form, I imagine you mean make and model and then they give you the results for that?

#19Similar models have had a hard time in the U.S. Your website design could be a bit better. The cars at the bottom all look very fake...just 13k pounds for a barely used BMW sportscar??? Makes me think it's dodgy.
the site is very much a work-in-progress, they've let me know that that specific section has been up there as a placeholder in the early development stage but was supposed to be removed.
what do you think could improve in regards to website design?

#20The car selector lists only car brands and models sold in North American. It's totally wrong for the UK market.
