Cargigi

I Just don't think I have they inventory right now to make it worth our while to post on Craigslist. From all your posts it looks like the majority of sales are under 10k cars which seem really hard to come by as of late. Plus, when I do get a car that's under 10k, as soon as it goes online I get a ton of leads on it. The under 10k cars just seem to generate their own leads regardless. Anyone else see this?

Walt,

IMO forget the 10k ceiling. CL is free and it works. Don't try to post CL ads manually. Your skumbag competitors will take them all down on you (to wear you out). Take Yag up on his free offer and give it a look.

Autoarchitech,

That may have not been the best area to check, I dont know the areas in WA DC very sell so I was just looking at who has the traffic.

I agree with Joe. Cargigi is offering 2 weeks free, why not try? Any Cargigi reseller can help you out. I have 30 Dealers on it and can show you results as I am sure yagoparamo can. There is a reseller that has over 300 stores using it, it must be working for some.

That being said, I have had a few dealers that were not getting results and I actually told them they should cancel as they were wasting the $$. Usually when the guy you are sending the check to says it's not working, you believe them...

If you have a strong team that can handle lots of sales calles I suggest you dont list your prices. Craigslist shoppers are not afraid to call you!

You are right on that one BUT, what about posting MO-WED-FR with no prices and then TU-TH-SAT with prices? Then you hit everyone. FYI- We delete the postings on a 48 hour cycle as CL request you do but that way customers dont find the cars too many times with price/no price.

Joe,

That one is for you too. If I can make it work for you I know I will get another 100 customers. So I will take the plunge.

I just reread this and when I say show you results, I mean show you the results of some existing customers, I'm not trying to overstep Yago..

I have always disliked showing other dealer's numbers.

First of all, every vendor/program has at least one guy doing very well with almost any program. Doing well for a lot of dealers is a completelly different story.

Second, if you read what i previously wrote, CL will work differently depending on the area, market, etc. What i tried to push is the fact that high or low prices dont matter. One of my best performing stores are crappy independent store in a small island and also a BMW autonation store in a high end area in CA.

So to take on Joe Pistell... if a vendor offers you a feee trial with no strings attached (and thw thing doesnt look like a scam ). TAKE IT!

For the price, it is silly not to try Cargigi. We get tons of phone calls and usually sell a few sourced to it. Of course you cannot measure people who stumble in and the 100's or 1000's who just look at your ad, phone #, logo, etc.
