Hi everybody:
I just discover the forum and this is my first post.
I have only months in the Dealer Industry. I was creating the dealership in the middle of the end of the pandemic. So when all the paperwork was ready the pandemic was finishing...
I'm basically trying to sell my first car... Is getting harder everyday (inflation and etc...)
In this moment I'm fighting with the authority and the ranking of my webpage in general trying to gain visibility.
I guess if I list my actual situation maybe you can correct how to do better... or maybe point another direction.
Already done:
Domain and Webpage (Xcape Locomotions - Xcape Locomotions)
Logo
Google My Business, Google Analytics
Social Media (FB, Meta Business suite, Tweeter, Instagram, Pinterest, tweeter. YouTube channel, Yelp, LinkedIn)
[Maybe some of this are not important:] Bing, yahoo, apple maps, Here maps, tom tom, yellow pages, manta, chamber of commerce, merchant circle, yellow pages, angi.com, Dealer rater (+ less important more than 50 sites and registries)
Up to this part was free I do it myself...
Pay part:
Dealer center - $50 monthly (include KBB, Credit check(+$1 or $2 per each run), Westlake financial application with instant results)
Auto data direct (titles check + vehicle history theft and lien) $1 dol per vehicle (as of today)
hosting - $50 monthly
Office rent + 2 parking spots - $600
the previous week I made an SEO contract for 3 month to see if I can improve my internet exposure...
Adds:
Carsforsale (pay) (subscription made today)(thx to this forum suggestion)
FB Marketplace
Free: AutoList, BuySellAutoMart, carsoup, claz, JamesEdition.com
Car Gurus (free up today, don't know how much longer)
Craiglist (1 time for 1 month... still running)
(I'm loosing my faith on the free stuff... jajaja not that efficient as it seems)
I think that I summarized most of the important things.
Ohh, I forget to mention I was approve for flooring with Westlake. I made the application just in case because the credit was run anyway and they approved...
I'm trying to sell as I mention 1 car (Ford Escape 2016) almost new (still with the factory scent) and is with all the attributes (no branding on title, leather interior, premium wheels, GPS etc) but nothing happen. I don't know... maybe is the car...
I was trying to offer an excellent car without any issues as my first but it seems I cannot reach the proper costumer... or something else I cannot see
I'm tryin to save as much as I can because I'm not that large on the budget size... I'm relying on my abilities to transform a car to a better product and from there make a way to a higher ground.
I don't know really what else I can do.
Please if somebody give me a hand and shade some light will be much appreciated.
Thx David
