Anyone using Wordpress to post vehicle inventory?

Deamster, I came across this plugin this afternoon. It might be something you're looking for? Hope this helps.

WordPress Car Dealer Theme with Craigslist Integration | Gorilla Themes - Premium WordPress Themes

Small note: this is actually a full WordPress theme and not a plugin to be added to an existing installation that you've already customized (visually). You have to use this particular theme and not the one you have already. Looks good, but your inventory management appears to be manual (just custom post types within WP). So each vehicle is represented by a custom WordPress 'Post' that you add/remove yourself one at a time.

No data feeds, not a plug-in, no automatic car fax, no thanks... Oldest theme out there that's mass marketed.. People need to just go with Dealer Trend, all-in-one plug-in blows everything else out of the water hands down.

A dealer seeking to publish live vehicle inventory on a custom WordPress site discovers that a purchased theme's promised 'one-click' XML feed update is actually a manual process. Experienced contributors weigh in with a modern WP tech stack (Advanced Custom Fields, WP All Import, Algolia), name several WordPress-native dealer website platforms like DealerInspire and FoxDealer, and debate WordPress security and maintenance requirements. The thread concludes that WordPress can handle automotive inventory well if properly configured, but franchise dealers often face OEM pressure to use certified providers like Dealer.com regardless of preference.
