Name for Car Buy/Sell Website

A few months ago I went to sell a car on Autotrader.

I uploaded the photos, wrote the description, and selected all the options…

Then, to my extreme irritation, I got this message:

That’s right, unless you are prepared to send Autotrader (as well as whoever they share data
with) your passport and a picture of yourself, you cannot place an ad!

I can only assume that Autotrader have been infiltrated by the surveillance state, because this seems to make no sense at all from a business point of view.

Anyhow, I personally REFUSE to participate in this kind of surveillance.

I was so irritated that I sent a message to our Web Developer, Adrian, with my intention to start a competitor to Autotrader that would:

1 – Be easier to use;

2 – Much cheaper (initially free);

3 – Would *never* ask for, or store customers personal information.

Anyway, several months on and we have a working prototype!

I’m not sure whether this car buying/selling site will be just for BTST Members, or whether it might “take off” as a true competitor to Autotrader.

Either way, we need a name for it!

Of course, it needs to be a name where the domain is available.

I’m thinking we need something catchy and memorable, but honestly, I’m drawing a blank.

BTST Member Competition:

I’d like to invite Members to suggest a name for the new website.

If we like one of the suggestions enough to use it, the winner will get a free TALEX Talk — the new “hands free” product we’ve been working on to protect Members from the harsh new laws on using your phone while driving.

Winner/s will be notified directly by email!

All the best,

      11. Totally agree with the sheer bloody cheek of random websites expecting to have access to irrelevant private data – trust us with a copy of your passport so that you will be “safer” from identity theft! – but wouldn’t it be wiser to collect suggestions in a non-public manner? Doing it as blog comments makes it easy for domain squatters or any ar5eh0le looking for a laugh to blag the domain names as they’re suggested.

        • I like “flipyourwhip” although not sure how many people would get the “whip” slang… AutoTalex is interesting!

        Now maybe you’re thinking about it?
        Because, IMO, that’s why AutoTrader is verifying the seller to try and protect the buyer.
        Right now there are many advertisements of non-existent vehicles occurring everywhere.
        I welcome the idea, but how will the service protect the buyer?
        Good luck with it!

        I’m the registered owner of this domain. I know I’m biased but I think it’s a belter of a catchy brandable name that would pass the ‘radio/TV ad test’.

        I’d like to do a website for it myself but no clear plan yet. So I’d be happy for you to use it, but we’d need to discuss some options as to how. I’d also be interested to be involved in the website in some capacity.
