Two tools I built on the side — a lead generator for lots + cheap-car alerts

I sell cars at three Orlando dealerships and build software on the side. Two things I made that other independents keep asking me about:

1) Dealer Lead Generator — turns the inventory already on your lot into buyer leads across 8 free platforms.

2) First Dibs — daily alerts on free and under-$1,000 cars around Central Florida: owner giveaways, must-go cars, auction finds. Lots use it to source cheap inventory.

Both are mine, I run them myself. Happy to answer questions.

A car dealer and part-time software developer named Manny introduces two tools he built: a Dealer Lead Generator that syndicates existing lot inventory across eight free platforms to generate buyer leads, and First Dibs, a daily alert service for free and sub-$1,000 cars in Central Florida aimed at helping dealers source cheap inventory. The only response comes from site founder Jeff Kershner, who briefly endorses First Dibs as a smart concept for smaller independent dealers, leaving the thread with minimal discussion but a positive initial reception.
