AutoTrader’s monopoly in the UK is collapsing under the weight of its own greed.
In this 15-minute video, Invictus Porsche Ltd exposes how AutoTrader has built a monopoly that’s hurting both dealers and consumers, and why the recent backlash could mark the beginning of its downfall.
AutoTrader’s business model is the definition of unchecked capitalism — increasing prices every year by 5% to 8%, creating hierarchical packages that penalise smaller dealers, and pushing its own Deal Builder system to capture consumer data while redirecting buyers away from the very dealers funding the platform.
We discuss how AutoTrader’s actions are inflating car prices, limiting competition, and damaging independent businesses across the UK.
“The death of capitalism would be capitalism itself.”
— Karl Marx & Friedrich Engels, The Communist Manifesto
Just like Marx described, AutoTrader’s relentless pursuit of profit is creating its own downfall — its £1.3 billion market value crash proves the cracks are already showing.
