"...I could see where a good web site would be pretty expensive to set up..."
 
Are you sure? Every morning when I get up at 5 AM there is an infomercial on TV staring two large breasted women with low cut tops. They say it only costs pennies to set up a web business and start making BIG, BIG, money. Maybe the car dealers should watch more TV early in the morning.
 
I would post more info on this but I always switch over to the "Girls Gone Wild" infomercial before I can write it down.
 
Or perhaps you could just hire sales staff that looked like these early morning babes.

When I was running the internet department at my store I would send price quotes on cars that actually existed and not on dream cars that could be configured on kbb or msn but would never be built. The new GM had a problem with me giving quotes and wanted me to just get them in. I told him that what reason would they come in for if they didn't get what they asked for? Needless to say I left and went elsewhere. At the other store I would still be internet mgr. except the current GM was so far behind the times that he did not want to invest in software to handle the e-mail requests. They had R&R CRM software which IMHO is a piece of doo doo. Too complicated and it keeps you away from the floor too long. Autobase was/is very simple to use but they did away with it.
At my original dealership they use R&R CRM and they finally realized it's crap and are scraping it starting monday. We are now getting the latest internet sales wonder: iMagiclab.com another web based crm.

Mack, looks like we are both quite the literary sort. I just finished my first book last year....I enjoyed it so much I think I will read another one this year.
