just a quick blurb of something that happened 2 days ago.  We have a consultant who places vehicles on Criags List........pricing yes...not going there  I take the phone calls at the dealership, and we had a call on this vehicle.  Customer was asking about it, but wanted to know the miles on this vehicle, which I gave her.  Wondering why she asked that, she indicated to me the miles on this vehicle were not in the listing.  When I gave her the miles, it was to many than what she wanted, but in the course of my conversation, was able to describe another vehicle we had just taken in on trade.  The long and short of it, we were able to sell this new trade to this phone contact off of Craigs List.  Maybe this is not the pricing question started on this thread, but goes along with giving to much of the information.  If this customer had the miles on the listing, saw it was to much for her, she was moving on to other listings, with our dealership not having a contact with her and the opportunity to describe other vehicles.  So not having the miles on the listing did not come across to the customer as the dealership 'hiding' or playing with the pricing, but was enough that the customer saw the car, and liked it and the price, but needed to know the miles, thus the contact.....just was interesting.......more non-confrontational in the consumers eyes.  In this type of case would the consumer be more likely to call...because they have the price, just need the miles, or would they move on like alot would if there was no pricing.  It was just an interesting thing that happened and kind of goes along with this thread...was reminded by e-mail when someone posted recently
