I am not the original author of this thread.  Jesse started the thread.  Your question is the first thing I thought when I read it too!  I checked his website, and he has 160-170 units on his website.


I am much smaller, and certainly in a much much smaller market.  I have 60-70 units in stock at any given time, and pay about 10% of what Jesse pays.  For me, that is a fair rate and I believe CarGurus knows that.  I want to be clear with you on this Tom.  We don't sell 10 units a month because of CarGurus.  It is more like 2 or 3.  However, I really like CarGurus.  I like the leads that they send me, and my rep does a great job for us.  Even though we are small, we still get regular calls.  I have a number that I use when I look at my advertising, and that is Cost/Sale.  If a vendor fits within that number, I keep them.
