    Yet another question about TrueCar sentiment

    It's such an enigma IMO because we've seen pretty decent gross on our TrueCar customer's when looking at the sold ROI over the past few months. But then you look at the cost of sale per. Once someone submits a lead through TrueCar, regardless of wherever they started or went during their...

    Nationwide Bank partners with TrueCar for "Single Stop"

    I'm seeing this from both ends. I work part time F&I and manage our internet department. We do alot of business with USAA because our store is located next to the Naval War College . And we're losing some finance opportunities because customers are following the process from getting a price to...

    CarGurus or CarsDirect

    We're on a basic listing plan with Cargurus. Have received a few leads so far. I will wait a few months to see how that works. I've used Carsdirect before and I wasn't a fan. Always returning bad leads.

    Poll: Let's Talk Inventory Photos

    For pre-owned we're spending around $18/per car. We started doing our own in house photos for new inventory a few months ago with a two man crew. Once we got a process down we would eventually carry over to preowned, which I anticipate happening soon.

    Is anyone using Team Velocity for their Marketing?

    Chad, Our market and demographic is very unique because of our location. If you have a chance to look us up you'll know what I mean. We were with Auto Alert over a year ago and what we found was the first few months had a lot of low hanging fruit. So initially it gave us a lot of success with...

    Honda's 3rd Party Lead Program?

    We've been on with the program since May. Surprisingly we've gotten a handful of deals with good gross. However, I don't see us keeping it down the road. The money can be spent better else where. @Grant, are you still using your Acura Program or have you cut it yet? @funjabi We had Dealix a...
