I need a replacement for AccuTrade...Any Suggestions?

Thanks! I've been meaning to try them so I'll check it out.

We've tried Accutrade, Laser Appraise, and currently use Stockwave. Stockwave could be really great but it's incredibly buggy, has inconsistent data, and the filters don't always work like they should. I can't imagine it would be that hard to fix what's wrong with it, they just don't care. I've put in numerous tickets only to be contacted 45-60 days later by someone who has no idea what is going on. But the ability to search massive amounts of inventory and sort based on X,Y, and Z is ideal and second to none AFAIK. Being able to look at as many vehicles as possible, as quickly as possible is the key to lowering your acquisition costs. Focusing on a small amount of potential units is how you spend too much.

Ultimately I don't think designing a plugin like Stockwave with similar functionality would be incredibly difficult, I just lack the technical acumen to do so. It's been an idea of mine for a while. Just need to set some time aside to work on it.
Hi,
I agree, stockwave is great but tech support is a joke. I have been using carbly and I highly recommend it for the google plug in tool. The huge Carfax price increase has caused me to take a 2nd look at all of my software needs to reevaluate. There is a new software tool called one auction view that sounds similar to stockwave but I have not tried it yet. Have you heard of any other solutions?
