We are jumping off the dealix bandwagon and just looking at other opportunities. Glad we have this forum to bounce information around.

That's where the feed is coming from, I'm just curious as to the "freshness factor" how long does/will it take for update's, especially updated prices, photo's, etc. I have had fielded inquiry's on rig's that were sold months ago from some of these "extra" sites...............and just how many hit's this site get's in my market?

We used carsforsale.com for about three months with no leads generated. The cost is great but I just felt we coudl use that money elsewhere.
Anyone still using this? Our GSM is considering picking them up, he asked me to look into it. He said they also push your listings to craigslist?

JesseJ,
They have a very-very-very basic tool for YOU to push the cars manually to CL.
What they have that I like is that they usually come with a free basic website that you can sue with a different domain for marketing purposes.
Given that your regular webcompany (Dealer.com, Cobalt, Motorwebs, etc) will not look at anything fro $100, that I thought it was an interesting tool to have.

I agree with Yagode. I think the tools they provide are worth the $100. We have not received quality leads, but the little extra tools such as HTML for craigslist are worth the fee.
Let me ask this then, if any of you are familiar with Auction 123 or I suppose many more will be familiar with homenet. Does it offer anything new?
Cars.com is the #1 search result on Google when you search "cars for sale".
Sorry, I had to.
I'm going to look into their tools a bit more and see if it's anything we could use or don't already have. Great info here!

Nothing new. If you already have 2 CL tools then you are set. The only companies that have 'better' CL tools are the ones dedicated specifically to it. Homenet and Auction123 have other things as their main biz.
✨ AI Highlights
A dealer introduces carsforsale.com as an affordable alternative listing site ($99 for up to 100 vehicles with no lead fees) and seeks feedback from other dealers. While one dealer reports strong early ROI after selling a car from the platform, another raises skepticism about the site's Google search rankings and lead quality, and a third notes that free inventory feeds through third-party vendors may offer similar exposure without additional cost.
