    Inventory Management - What's your Favorite Feature?

    Good news, Mr. Davis. Over the next few months you will see more integration with HomeNet and vAuto. Considering vAuto's main function is to help dealers identify opportunities to maximize gross profit on individual cars and HomeNet's main function is merchandising; we are focused on bringing...

    TAKE POLL Cars.com VS AutoTrader VS CarGurus

    I don't like this question @Jeff Kershner. :) They are three very different platforms that bring different value at different times in the buying process. @Ed Brooks will tell ya! Great advice from Andy above. It's all advertising. It needs to be managed appropriately and maximized as Andy...

    NADA 100, will you be there? Where will we find you?

    vAuto definitely got some love in the New Car Inventory Management world by dealers. I think I saw you get one or two awards as well @yagoparamo !!

    Alternatives for appraisal tools.

    Gentlemen, I love the feedback! Thank you so much for your honesty and candor. It's refreshing to have this dialog and one of the many reasons I love DealerRefresh. Publicly, I won't get into the inner-workings of vAuto and CoxAutomotive because that's way above my pay grade. However, I will...

    Alternatives for appraisal tools.

    Bill - What are you looking to appraise? Trades? Vehicles in the lane? Both? Just trying to get an understanding of your use of the tool. There are some cheaper scanner type tools out there like VinViper & LaserAppraiser. I work for vAuto but I don't sell for them and I won't try to convince...

    CarGurus wants in your DMS...

    http://goo.gl/EbZvxZ (FCA names CarGurus as partner for CPO advertising) This is the most recent post about CarGurus so I figured I'd share it here.

    Have you been to a DrivingSales Presidents Club Event?

    Last year was my first President's club and I agree with you @Jeff Kershner ! The content and way it was set up was done well. I love the idea of a single day that is power packed with actionable items to take away and implement back at the store, for dealers. Sadly, I won't be at PClub this...

    Hammer Corp, Better Craigslist SEO?

    I thought Hammer Corp was Iron Man's competitor in Iron Man 2? :cool: I don't hear much about CL and vehicles in the field as much as I did 3-4 years ago... when you say well, how many do you list/sell on CL?

    The Surprising Reason Your Used Cars Get Stuck (OSV)

    http://www.dealerrefresh.com/why-your-used-cars-get-stuck-on-your-lot/ Bringing this article to the forum. So I read this article 2-3 times (one of those may have been a skim) and what I failed to get out of it is how one comes to attain "Online Search Volume" easily. So I hope Chad takes a...

    Will you buy a .car .cars or .auto extension?

    I am loving reading this thread. One of the things I really want to bolster my knowledge on is SEO/SEM. I want to throw this little nugget out there. Does anyone actually type URLs anymore?!? I use chrome so I just use it to type in what I'm looking for to bring up a search. Because of that, as...

    Beepi and Vroom and Carvana - will they make a DENT?

    But isn't that just it? All Apple products are the same cost/price. Apple dictates, across the board, the price that all distributors get to retail the piece for. I agree with all of you that the experience is one thing but the business model is another. So let's go to the root of why these...
