Auto turntables - Do's and Dont's - need advise

Craig,
It's not neighborly to throw stones at your neighbor (especially if you live in a glass house ;-)

I'm not trying to throw stones at me neighbour and I'm always open to criticism.
I'm not even trying to single out Used Car King, it's just one that I remembered had that issue since you asked me to evaluate it last year (when I also raised the same issue) (link).

It's not like I'm saying it's a bad dealership, bad service or even a bad website - just serve up larger photos so people can see the condition of the car better in the photos. This isn't anything new and I'm not sure why you think I'm slinging stones at you... maybe it's just the tone of my voice ;)

Photo Booth idea #2: Show off your dings and nicks.

In our shopper studies, Carvana biggest win was it's condition transparency. To my surprise, shoppers universally considered this a signal of trust.

Shoppers know they're buying used and they assume you're with holding this info. :egads:
 

✨ AI Highlights

A dealer considering investing in an auto turntable for a new photo booth project receives advice from experienced professionals who generally recommend against expensive turntables ($10-15K+), instead favoring larger booths with stationary cameras or wall-mounted camera systems that spin. The consensus guidance emphasizes that photo quality matters less than proper display technology on the website, professional lighting (especially ambient interior lighting without flash), and real-world usability testing—with several contributors cautioning that fancy photo features impress dealers more than actual car shoppers.
