    Federal Regulation of Auction Marketplaces Anyone?

    Cars.com & Facebook Product

    I just can't imagine Facebook becoming a major factor in lead generation for higher end units. Just simple factors like: The informality of Facebook, the lack of effort dealers put into those listings (looks like a salesman just pulls around the corner and snaps a few pics, then uploads them...
