[USER=13326]@bshoeduke[/USER] welcome to the community and congrats on becoming half owner of your own dealership. Sorry for the lack of responses. Most of us are still in Holiday/End of Month catch up mode.


Clint [USER=7732]@Tallcool1[/USER] offers some solid advice on the cheap DMS front. Hard to believe a $50 DMS can do all of that, but I'll take his word for it.


Due to your inventory count and price point, I would steer clear of the $$ listing sites like ATC and Cargurus and focus on Marketplace for the time being. Otherwise you could quickly be spending more than what you're making.


Craigslist may still work for you if the costs isn't out of whack.


May want to look at Carsforsale.com as an alternative. They offer independent dealers quite a bit for the money. Mobile friendly website (a must), listings, inventory feeds, a light CRM, and your inventory gets listed on their Carsforsale national website.

Also - be sure to build/claim your Google Business page. Follow [USER=4779]@georgenenni[/USER] on LinkedIn for great advise on how to manage and optimize your GMB Page. If optimized correctly could be your best bang for the buck! George also has a book you can purchase on Amazon worth every penny.
