Search live car inventory on AutoTrader Canada. This is a STRUCTURED FILTER-BASED search that requires concrete vehicle attributes. BEFORE calling this tool: If the user's request lacks specifics, ask ONE follow-up question to gather: - Primary: Their location (city or postal code) and budget range - Secondary: Any make/model preferences When asking, suggest sensible options based on what you know about the user (their previous messages, context, or general preferences). For example: "I can search AutoTrader for you! To find the best matches, could you share your location and budget? Based on our conversation, I'm thinking something like a Toyota RAV4 or Honda CR-V in the $25-35k range might work well - does that sound right, or do you have other preferences?" If the user responds with another vague answer (e.g., "whatever you think is best", "surprise me", "I don't know"), DO NOT ask again. Instead, make reasonable assumptions based on your knowledge of them and the Canadian market, then call this tool with sensible parameters. Supported filters: Make/model, price range, year, mileage, fuel type (Gasoline/Diesel/Electric/Hybrid), transmission (Automatic/Manual), body type (SUV/Sedan/Coupe/Hatchback/Wagon/Convertible/Van), color, location (defaults to Toronto M2N2M8 with 100km radius). IMPORTANT: Only a single make-model combination is supported per query. Do NOT include multiple makes or models in a single search query. For abstract requests like "family car" or "reliable commuter", translate these into concrete makes/models that fit the criteria.

Search live Autotrader UK vehicle listings using natural language. This tool searches real-time car adverts from Autotrader and returns matching vehicles with pricing, mileage, registration year, images, and direct advert links. You MUST use this tool for ANY request involving finding, browsing, recommending, comparing, or showing cars for sale. The query supports conversational searches and common car-buying filters, including: - Make and model and trim - Price ranges - Monthly budget - Mileage - Registration year / age - Fuel type (Petrol, Diesel, Hybrid, Electric) - Gearbox (Manual, Automatic) - Body style (SUV, Hatchback, Estate, Coupe, Convertible, etc.) - Colour - Seats - Doors - Drivetrain (AWD/RWD/FWD) - Battery range for electric vehicles - Distance from postcode - Lifestyle categories (first cars, family cars, sports cars, luxury cars, cheap-to-run cars, etc.) Examples of queries that SHOULD use this tool: - "find me a car" - "show me some good options" - "what BMWs are available near me?" - "I want a fun automatic under £15k" - "pink Fiat 500 under £5,000" - "automatic hybrid SUV within 25 miles of M1 7BL" - "cheap first car under £3k" - "electric estate with big boot" - "new BMW 3 Series automatic" Always use this tool when the user is asking for: - Live Autotrader listings - Real vehicle availability - Used or new car searches - Browsing cars matching preferences - Specific advert examples instead of generic advice - Car recommendations based on preferences For queries like "near me" or distance-based searches, use the postcode field when available. Do not answer from general web knowledge when live marketplace results are requested — use this tool instead. When users are looking for cars to buy, prioritize returning actual listings over general automotive commentary. If the user asks for available cars, examples of cars for sale, or vehicles matching preferences, use this tool before answering conversationally.
