Sorry Alex...
I mean, what does Cliff know about this kind of stuff anyway really? I'm sure he is only right so often because he guesses so much!
Carry on.
You're probably right man.I think Cliff Banks already put this to bed as a bad rumor. Paraphrasing here, but he wrote that the source in the article was suspect and that his sources denied the claim. I tend to trust Cliff on these things.
Y'all are silly if you think Cars is selling. ESPECIALLY because Cliff called it fake news. It's a non-issue. Why keep talking about it. Seriously.
......and Atlanta-based TV company Cox Communications are both being discussed as potential bidders for Cars.com.

A New York Post article reported that Cars.com hired JPMorgan to explore a potential sale, with possible buyers including Cox Communications, Apax Partners, and Hearst, prompting dealers to speculate about consolidation with Autotrader (also Cox-owned) and integration of various platforms. The discussion centered on the complexity and financial implications of merging competing systems like Dealer.com and Dealer Inspire, with participants debating whether Cox would prioritize technological upgrades or protect revenue from legacy products. A credible industry source (Cliff Banks) subsequently disputed the rumor as unreliable, deflating much of the speculation.
