How is March Sales Going ?

We are having an incredible used car month. VDP's and SRP's are up and we are going to smash our record from last March and store record in used. New may be down just a touch from last year, but still an incredible month overall. That happens when we chase our own records.

Has anyone noticed any decrease in site traffic from CL? Our sales are down a bit in March and it seems that CL is not generating near as much traffic/referrals as usual...

Not sure finally started tracking it this month using new software. Doing about 600+ visits a month to our website, only about 6-8 leads per month though. A few months back we were doing about 10-12 leads a month. Traffic is about the same, calls are about the same, not much has really changed..
