Despite recording falling sales in the first quarter of 2009, Toyota manages to hold on to its position as the worlds biggest car manufacturer.

1.77 million cars were sold worldwide between January and March this year, but this is a 27% drop due to the global financial crisis that is seeing people hold back on luxuries such as new cars.

By contrast, however, the used car market has seen an improvement as more people wake up to the bargains that can be found when shopping around.

Used car traders are also discovering that quality used cars now command a higher price tag because there are less of them around as many people find they cannot afford to trade them in for new cars.

The demand for used cars is nowhere more evident than at leading online used car portal, www.autoweb.co.uk where 15,000 people browse for bargains, such as used Toyota cars, every single day.

Autoweb also offers the most comprehensive UK database of used cars for sale thanks to its policy of free advertising for private sellers, but it also features cars from over 750 dealers across the UK.

The site is very easy to search and also features some really helpful used car reviews, a dealer directory and motoring news.

The search tool even allows the user to specify a price range and will order the search results from high to low, or low to high, depending on preference, making the search for the perfect used car even quicker and simpler.
