The new AM website (www.am-online.com) has helped used car dealers source more than £500,000 of stock since its launch in June.

Besides having the latest motor industry news, job vacancies and industry links, the website has a facility called Trade Stock, which allows users to post requests with vehicle remarketing companies for specific used cars. AM-online editor Jeremy Bennett says that since the facility was added, it has helped dealers acquire a vast variety of vehicles for their forecourts.

“This is even more remarkable since access to the site is through registration only. To date, more than 2,500 industry professionals have signed up to use AM-online and receive daily or weekly emails on the latest news,” Bennett adds.

Users who are job-seeking can post a standing request for a particular combination of job/salary/location and will receive an automatic email alert from AM-online when a position that matches their requirements is posted on the website.
