The simple fact of the matter is that most consumers select the dealership they’re going to do business with online and they do it with little or no interaction with the dealership. In 2005 the average customer shopped 4.1 dealerships when purchasing a vehicle and today a customer visits just 1.3. That means, on average, a customer buys from the first dealership they walk into. What does this mean? They’re selecting the dealership they want to do business online. Joe is correct, "Shoppers are all over the net looking." As much as I love Craigslist, I would never entertain chopping AT, Way too much Traffic. If Your upset over VDP. look to improve Your Pictures, Ads, and price you vehicles to market.
