I could have swore I found one of your BMWs by a VIN search on Edmunds and couldn't locate it on Cars or ATC by filtering to your zip, etc. I'm going to about-face on what I said then and you need to cut one of those to reduce your expenses. I'm just taking back over marketing for the group as we've had some leadership shift. I fired both Cars.com and AutoTrader and kept Cargurus and Carfax listings. In our markets (may be different in yours), those two had the highest rate of return in leads and VDPs and best engagement on site referrals. I don't need to stack more an more leads on a single VIN with our Used inventory being as thin as it is right now. I don't see any need for Used dealers to include traditional ads if they have a solid online strategy. Used has always been about merchandising, pricing, and VDPs.
