Thanks David. Any specifics on best practices to approach dealers would be appreciated. I want to quickly communicate that we dont charge unless a customer buys and we take a deposit from the buyer, so there is no cash exchanged between us.

A dealer received a lead from AutoTrader that turned out to be from autopitch.com, a middleman service that posts dealer offers on their website and charges a $150 referral fee (deducted from the dealer's offered price) if a customer they represent makes a purchase. The dealer community overwhelmingly criticized the service as duplicitous and exploitative, particularly because autopitch concealed its fee structure and business model until after obtaining the dealer's price quote, effectively double-dipping on advertising costs dealers already pay to AutoTrader. The consensus was that autopitch's deceptive sales approach and unfavorable fee model made it an unwelcome intermediary in the automotive sales process.
