This website claims to negotiate on your behalf for a car at cost. All this guy did was sell my name to the local car dealership, who e-mailed me to invite me to stop by. Don't be misled.

So the company makes decent coin from both sides, dealers, and customers, but for us is not worth it because we rarely make any money on the deals, and many of them are out of towners who use our quotes to buy from local dealers.

Replying to: mackabee (Jun 24, 2008 8:49 am) Right now however I'm in charge of updating our site, takink multiple photos of all pre owned cars, updating the invetory, updating, Buy & Sell and Auto Trader, updating specials, responding, and working internet leads, and running my own Craigslist and Kijiji.com show. So I do a lot of work not just for me but for the whole dealership as well. We have a new GM right now that was brought in to help babalnce the spreadsheet if you know what I mean, and since I like working here (best group of people I've ever worked with), I don't want to be asking for a salary just yet, because I have a lot more freedom and priveleges that other guys don't have.

Replying to: boomchek (Jun 24, 2008 10:01 am) The ADP thing was that I would come in on mondays and take a look at the Autobase to see which used cars were sold so I would take them off AutoTrader. Only for the cars to reappear the next day! The only way they would disappear the day they were sold was if the deal had been completed and billed. Mack

Replying to: mackabee (Jun 25, 2008 7:43 pm) Our website pre owned list is linked to Reynolds and uploaded daily. It's ok, but it also pulled back end notes from Reynolds such as repairs done, Pack, service comments and listed them as options for custmers to see (yikes). I spent one whole day changing them and adding proper options, only for it to be overridden the next day. Anyways it's been taken care of now. We also have a guy that can come and take photos, but he's here once a week, and I need the photos for both our site, and Trader, and my own craigslist listings, so I told him not ot bother coming. Trader now has a new system where the guy can take a photo of the VIn, and it will pull all the options for that car. The problem is that it's based of a US database, and many cars here have different option packages, and trim levels that the US cars. So I told him not to bother with that either.
