I have not had the experience that you have had in terms of fee changes.

As far as the leads finding you through other sources in the event that you drop CarGurus, I wouldn't count on that.  In fact, I would assume very much the opposite.  I find that our CarGurus leads are a different group of people.  These customers find us because of CarGurus, and typically don't see us on any of the other marketplaces. 

I hate that your fees have increased to the level that they have, and I can see that you are in a position of saying yes or no.  CarGurus has never given me even the slightest indication that they were flexible with their rates.  I guess it is just a matter of looking at the numbers.  If you want to spend $250/sale (of course you have to use your numbers) then CarGurus must directly be responsible for 22 or 23 sales.  If they aren't, then you have your answer. 

Best of luck to you with this.  Maybe they will at least listen to you this time around.
