How dealers and exporters run AutoTrader on NexIP

Sourcing needs the full picture, pricing needs fast numbers and accounts need steady sign-ins: all three sit in one NexIP account.

Used car export: source from abroad, smoothly

Buyers in Asia and the Gulf watch the UK and US sites every day. Through a local home IP, search results, vehicle pages and dealer contact work just as they do for local buyers, without a verification check on every visit.

Native ISP IP

Vehicle listings by postcode and radius

The same model varies widely in stock, price and mileage from city to city. Rotating residential IPs with unlimited concurrency search dozens of postcodes at once, so one run brings in every area's vehicle listings.

Rotating residential

Car valuation and price cuts

A buying offer is only as good as its sample. Group by make, year and mileage, log used car prices, days listed and local dealer inventory every week, and see at a glance who is cutting and by how much.

Rotating · bandwidth

Dealer groups: one fixed IP per forecourt

A dealer group runs one AutoTrader account per forecourt, with sales, marketing and outside staff adding cars, repricing and answering enquiries daily. Each account keeps one local exit, so sign-ins stay steady.

Native · broadcast IP

Which IP for each AutoTrader job

Accounts that sign in get static IPs, public listing pulls get rotating IPs, and big volumes move to a bandwidth plan.

What a local exit changes

For many dealers the problem isn't the script but the exit: visiting AutoTrader from a home-country line, office broadband or a cloud server costs both experience and data.

Hooking up AutoTrader jobs in three steps

HTTP, HTTPS and SOCKS5, with username and password or IP allowlist auth: one setup serves collection scripts and buyers' browsers.

Confirm the exit country

Before a run, check the exit sits in the site's country: GB for the UK site.

curl -x http://USER:PASS@GATEWAY:PORT https://example.com/

One proxy setting per site in Python

Switching site only changes the exit country, never the parser.

import requests
proxy = "http://USER:PASS@GATEWAY:PORT"
r = requests.get("https://example.com/cars", proxies={"https": proxy})

Allowlist your servers

When the valuation system runs on a server, add its IP to your NexIP allowlist and keep passwords out of code.

curl -x http://GATEWAY:PORT https://example.com/

AutoTrader proxy FAQ

Buyer and dealer accounts that sign in suit native ISP IPs (From $5/IP/month), one each; public listing pulls suit rotating residential IPs (From $0.8/GB); daily bulk snapshots suit bandwidth plans (100Mbps / $980/30 days).

Yes. Give the buyer account a UK native ISP IP and route the browser through it: search, saved cars and dealer messages work as they do for a local buyer, from the same UK address every time. Used car export teams usually give each buyer one IP.

Pick a residential exit in the site's country, enter the city's postcode and a distance, then filter by make, model and year. Page through each search in one sticky session and run cities in parallel; rotating residential has no concurrency cap.

Yes. Different companies run them, with different search parameters, currencies and page fields. Put exits in the UK and the US respectively and keep one set of parsing rules per site.

Count accounts: one AutoTrader account per forecourt means one fixed IP each. Flagship sites take native IPs (From $5/IP/month); large groups can use broadcast IPs ($4/IP/month) for a lower unit price.

Country targeting is standard; city and ASN targeting are subject to availability. Listing search locates by postcode and radius anyway, so the right country plus a local postcode usually does it.

Price each job on its own: listing pulls per GB (From $0.8/GB) or by bandwidth plan (100Mbps / $980/30 days); accounts on long-term static IPs, per IP per month (From $3/IP/month); display checks on short-term IPs (From $0.17/IP).
