You Get What You Pay For!

-Carsforsale.com’s only allows Image Ad’s for their Automated Tool, only allows 125 vehicles/month for inventory and its priced well above $99/month.

-The process for posting Craigslist approved HTML Ad’s with Carsforsale.com requires you to use templates to create the Ads one-by-one (copy/paste interface); its no faster then doing it manually and its not user friendly.

- More than 50% of the Carsforsale.com’s image based ads through their automated tool wont go live on Craigslist despite the Carsforsale.com application saying they’re posted.

- Carsforsale.com is a one-way street, no Call Tracking, no reporting, no way for you to understand and strategize your classified marketing efforts. No proof of ROI!

Simply put, the two products are not apples-to-apples, their product is cheap and ineffective that’s why they don’t offer functionality to give feedback about their results; Carsforsale.com isn't helping dealers generate leads!

“It's unwise to pay too much, but it's worse to pay too little. When you pay too much, you lose a little money - that's all. When you pay too little, you sometimes lose everything, because the thing you bought was incapable of doing the thing it was bought to do. The common law of business balance prohibits paying a little and getting a lot - it can't be done. If you deal with the lowest bidder, it is well to add something for the risk you run, and if you do that you will have enough to pay for something better.”

― John Ruskin
