So it's Auto Trader, except all the copy on the site is written in broken English?

Similar 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?

FYI, "carcel" means "prison" in spanish.

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

Hey peoples, original poster here. I put this up on behalf of one of my mates who is working on it. I'll make sure to pass all the comments you all have to him

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.

This seriously looks like a really, really crap 1:1 rip of shift.

And intentionally trying to run any non third party JS on page through a free obfuscator, presumably to try and hide it.

Went 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.
Re:Show HN: Carcela – A peer-to-peer used car marketplace in... by palpatine_an on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @08:23AM (#14202346)
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?

Thank you for trying to solve this. But how do you handle the problem of knowing the actual state of the car? If you have some new inventive way you should publicize it more.

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

Need a bit of work on mobile, especially the "find how much your car is worth" forms.

The postcode validator doesn't work with E1W postcodes, e.g. E1W 1AA.

I will let them know, thank you for your comment

I'm confused as what part of this is peer to peer?
Re:Show HN: Carcela – A peer-to-peer used car marketplace in... by speps on Wednesday April 26, 2017 @02:22AM (#14200879)
It doesn't even have my 2015 model of Golf.

The car selector actually lists car brands and models sold in North America. It's missing a lot of European cars.

Didn't Beepi try this?
