[USER=8506]@nickb[/USER] Sorry to hear that you have had so much trouble.
I have answered your question below based on our tool and what it can do. Hopefully we are a fit for your needs.
This is possible with some of the WordPress plugins and themes if you are okay manually adding and managing your inventory on the site itself. Where the monthly subscription comes into play is in the inventory management software, support for feeds, etc.
This is what our focus is on. There are several automotive companies that use WordPress as their platform, but it is on their hosting and they essentially lease it to you. There is no right or wrong in this, just depends on the dealer's (your) preference. With CarDealerPress you can host your own WordPress site that you own and use our plugin to integrate the inventory.
Yes, Dealercenter currently uses Cargigi for their exports, although I know they are working on something else and carsforsale also has an export that can be utilized. I am speaking to our system only for this by the way.
As long as you can implement 301 redirects with your new company this is possible. Would need some planning on your part to make sure and redirect relevant pages.
Would recommend that you do this on any platform. With CarDealerPress we have tutorials on how you can setup custom dimensions to track VDP views in addition to some other automotive specific reporting.
