Just a quick question.  One of my dealer clients just received an email stating that there would be a price increase from Cars.com.  While all price increases are inevitable (as any AutoTrader client knows all too well), I find the percentage of increase that Cars.com is asking for to be quite aggressive.


Going from what was a $1,500 package to a $2,375 package for the same value.  Their "offerings" were in the typical finance department menu option format of Bronze, Silver, Gold.  (Sure, I understand they have online reviews now, but I don't think anyone could value that worth at $875, do you?)


Has anyone else yet receive the email about the price increase?  Is it in the same ballpark as this 60% bump?  I've always been a huge fan of Cars.com, they know I have, and regardless of the ROI they show, I feel such a significant increase all at one time is a touch garish.  Let me know your thoughts.
