Price = "Contact Us" Dealer VDP

woa, all 155 used VINs: Price = "Contact Us"
Just another example of why maintaining 2 separate sites is a bad idea. Likely an inventory feed issue that they haven't noticed since they never visit that site.

Primary Off-Program Vanity Site - Dealer E-Process:
Has Pricing -> https://www.hhchevy.com/auto/used-2023-chevrolet-silverado-1500-high-country-omaha-ne/90756553/

OEM Approved Site - Ansira/Sincro/CDK/Cobalt:
No Pricing -> %NEW/USED_CAP_FIRST_LETTERS% %YEAR% %MAKE% %MODEL% For Sale Omaha NE | %VIN%
 
good catch RE.

H+H is aggressive.

The new FTC rules will blowup favorite pricing games.

"...Dealer service/document fee of $999 is not included in quoted price. Tax, tag, and electronic registration fee of $399 are not included"

New thread? FTC Pivot Watch. ;-)

Yes, that is also a GM AIS violation - a GM dealership can face serious financial implications if they receive 3 non-compliance strikes.

PSA: Drop Google, use Perplexity.ai it's really improving fast.
Our startup (AutoMagic Labs) has subscriptions to ChatGPT4o, Claude 3 Opus, Gemini Advanced and Perplexity Pro. When it comes to research, Drop Google, use Perplexity. Give me a like or a comment if you like Perplexity too.
Out of the four ( Perplexity, ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini), Perplexity is my go-to for search at the moment.
 
Perplexity - interesting.

It's faster than chatGPT.

I like how they add relevant content.

I think I'm done with google. too many searches to only end up on their sponsored ai generate crap pages.

I'm going to give duckduckgo a chance.
 
+90% of car shoppers don't know trim hierarchy.
We, as an industry, have yet to solve this puzzle for car shoppers. CarMax is the leader: https://www.carmax.com/research/chevrolet/equinox/2018

Anyone know of a great solution for this puzzle?

User story: I know the YMM of what I'd like to buy, I have some fav features, but IDK much about the trims.
