I want this to succeed so badly, but I have my doubts.  The national rep I talked to basically said this was a result of their fallout from AutoTrader.com and they wanted to stick it to them. Anything that can take from AutoTrader has my support.


I was told their major national ad campaign was coming during the NCAA Tourney... that didn't happen.  We are on it free for 30 days, which ends at the end of March, but was just told they're leaving us on it at no charge for an indefinite amount of time until all bugs are worked out.  I'm viewing this more of a sloppy rollout than a soft rollout. The regional and local rep stopped in unannounced one day and basically said we have this used car listings product that is rolling out and we want you to get on it for free.  They basically had an ipad with screenshots of it with zero information and who to contact.  It took about 2 weeks to get our feed right and just yesterday finally got our correct ADF/XML email added. I think they're in over their heads a bit and were a little rushed to get it out.
