Overall: The Carsforsale.com platform is the only one I have used so I do not know any comparable platforms. However, I may start looking this year for other platforms as this one does not seem to be scaleable as my business grows. It is very generic. The upside is the website never goes down and has never had a bug in it that required work arounds. It is an average experience.

Pros: The software is user friendly for both the customer and the business. The customer can easily view product and contact the business. The business has ease of adding and deleting inventory as well as many reports that show where business is coming from and what is driving interest in certain types of inventory.

Cons: The program language is not compatible with other software in the industry. Automatic updates are often 2-3 days behind real time. An item no longer in inventory will reappear on the website because it was available in the update from yesterday. It does require monitoring daily to ensure accuracy. Also, customer support lacks follow through. There is no one person dedicated to your account that you work with. It is whomever answers the phone and that can be time consuming to bring the new person up to speed on the issue that has been already discussed with someone else. Finally, updates to the platform itself are not easy. They are a basic layout and changes to it are limited and not always done correctly.

Overall: Being with carsforsale is a no brainer. It is cost effective and very valuable to our dealership. There is no other program that does everything they do for the price. I recommend them to all of our dealer friends!

Pros: The ease of use and the customer service are the very best things about carsforsale. Customer service always exceeds my expectations no matter when I reach out. They go above and beyond always! They offer more bang for the buck too! The new Facebook marketplace tool sets them well above the competition and it is included in the fee we already pay. It is super easy to use and navigate.

Cons: Other programs allow us to scan in a drivers license when a customer comes in. This would be a very handy tool. The only other thing that needs improvement is the way leads alerts are generated. We used to get emails every time we had a lead and for some reason that has gone away. I may not notice I have a new lead for hours.

Overall: Customer service is top notch. Anytime we have had a problem or just needed a question answered, it was done 100% to my satisfaction. All they offer at no extra charge is beyond compare.

Pros: As the title states, ease of use. Very easy to post your cars to your website. The whole set up is pretty much self explanatory. Scan a VIN, take a few pictures ( The more the merrier) and upload! Most of it is done for you through the vin! So simple.. I put in price, colors and cloth or leather interior. everything else is already there, I DO recommend double checking all they prepopulate,just to be safe. Did I mention, how easy this is??!!

Cons: Mobile app camera is not very good. Sometimes I Lose cars on the dealer site (They are not on dealer site, but they are visible to the public) Kinda embarrassing when I have a customer on the line. Camera needs to be upgraded, it is great on overcast days, but when it is sunny out, the end picture is way to dark. IF I could use my phones camera I could fix it before taking the picture in most cases

Pros: We've been using CarsForSale.com as our used car web host and primary listing site since we opened for business in 2013. We've reviewed many potential providers but we really like the value, customer service and ease of doing business with CarsForSale.com. They have a terrific overall product at a great price while still delivering personalized customer care and customized solutions. We also like their performance and reliability. Special kudos to two people at CarsForSale.com who have always treated us like we are their most important client - Anita and Zion.

Cons: The few things we liked least about using CarsForSale.com software have been updated/changed - for instance, they recently converted us to mobile-friendly responsive and have added more helpful tools like overlays, nicer screen views, reporting and online materials. Right now, there isn't anything we don't like about the software.

Overall: My card for sales.com product software has been a blessing to our company and myself are used to have to take care of the old website and it was a task half my week was set aside for the old website not anymore I have more important things to do thank you cards for sale

Pros:  The integration of this software has with our DMS has been easy breezy all the help getting everything set up to start this program was exceptional I've also had very very good help with people following up with any of our needs

Cons: If I had anything negative to say about this software would be that the phone app could move a little faster sometimes overall very good product

Overall: I've had a wonderful relationship with carsforsale.com. Although some of my referrals I was never credited for (Pyramid Motors, Tripoli Auto Sales)

Pros: I appreciate the different feeds to other 3rd party websites (Car Gurus etc.) but I really like the old platform better.

Cons: When you sell a car and want to mark it "sold" on the website, you have to go through a couple of unnecessary steps to get there. Also the new website designs are very "busy". I would prefer them to get right to the inventory instead of silly stories about your customer service and "we can finance anybody" slogans.

Overall: Business experience has been great. Customer service has been 5 star every time I have had to use them - very impressed with that.

Pros: The Carsforsale site is easy to navigate and use. Its pretty much self-explanatory. Recent additions like the Facebook marketplace module and 1st photo overlays add more functionality with no extra effort required. Its nice that putting in the VIN usually decodes the trim level of the car, and lists relative equipment and options - it helps make my descriptions accurate without having to search through a bunch of other car sites. Some of the other similarly priced competitors don't do that. Website templates and graphics are very well done. There are "slicker" options out there, but they all cost much more. Carsforsale has what I need at a very good price.

Cons: ebay templates could use a refreshing. It would be nice if there was an easier way to search past postings, like an archive. It gets tedious having to put in your entire date range of when searching for a similar car, or one that has returned to your inventory.

Overall: I absolutely love Carsforsale.com the staff are very helpful and really make sure you get every opportunity and the most out of everything they have to offer.

Pros: Carsforsale.com is everything a small business is looking for. They are very helpful with set up and design they also give you examples of similar dealerships to help you make the most of your website. The website is easy to navigate and add inventory as well as all the included extras like paperwork, facebook postings, and all other social media platforms. This really can give your business a boost to look and feel so much more professional and visible to the public. Very much a one stop shop for advertising!

Cons: The only complaint I have is maybe the time it takes to enter inventory but that is at a minimum copy and paste help breeze through the process but it still can take some time.

Overall: Easy to use backend tool for adding and removing vehicle with tons of great tools for advertising, history reports, selling paperwork, you name it they got it! If they don't have it, tell them and they will work on it adding it to the backend tool ! Been with them over 7 years and I wish I found them sooner!!

Pros: They have so many great tools for auto dealers. We get so much tools and products for the value. History reports, vehicle comparison prices, vin decoding, mobile app, and etc.. Customer service is great!! easy to load delete vehicles, great websites/mobile sites, always adding new tools !! More increased value !!

Cons: Nothing! They are always working on integrating new ideas and tools.

Overall: Good customer service

Pros: Affordable, universal, get a lot for your money

Cons: Limited options for website. Vin number is not easily accessible

Overall: I like that this software is easy to use. We can take and update pictures, load VIN numbers to self-populate vehicle information and list vehicles for sale on multiple sites all from one place. It increases our exposure and efficiency.

Pros: I like that this software is easy to use. We can take and update pictures, load VIN numbers to self-populate vehicle information and list vehicles for sale on multiple sites all from one place.

Cons: There are not any features of this software tat I do not like. We have not had any problems with the software or company.

Overall: Cars for sale is a good feature. You would think that the people are ready to buy sometimes they are and arent but thats sales. The problems are when you email or call the people they dont respond or their information is invalid.

Pros: The ease of having a online customer and not someone sitting with you all day wasting your time.

Cons: Some of the leads arent serious and cars.com should send a email before the info is sent to the dealer to insure that the above prospect is a real person. Also to find out how far along the customer is in the process.

Overall: I've been using cars for sale for over 10 years. For the money it's the best form of advertising. Great website gets built for you and it's very easy to ad and remove vehicles and update pictures and information. Also really easy to get a hold of someone hen you need the help. Other companies do promise cheap rates and similar services. But I wouldn't trust anyone else.

Pros: 1- Cost 2- Ease of use 3- Exposure 4- customer service

Cons: 1- No longer 1 click to post on craigslist 2- Website might go offline once in a great while

Overall: Really poorly designed program and especially the mobile app. Really bad. Really really bad.

Pros: Nothing. It's not effective, not streamlined, and too cumbersome. The old platform was 1,000 times better.

Cons: Can't expand thumbnail views, can't delete multiple vehicles at once, can't copy vin number on mobile interface, too many security levels and log in procedures, can't use my talk to text in the description field on my mobile device. And lots more annoying things.

Pros: its very user friendly, easy to understand and run this system. Customers can view the product and contact the dealers in ease. one of the added value is their customer service, they response fast and able to provide suggestion/solution to my questions. I like the tracking function which able to track the activity of the users, its very helpful for future marketing planning.

Cons: Improve in CRM part as able to manage leads in better way. There were some problems in the mobile app and website, but now its getting better! Keep up the work!

Overall: this side will work perfect for ,dealer ship who wants to finance cars, but for me i don't do finance,work as a side that give your company respect, and customer will see your all cars. but i wish this company(carsforsale) could do advertised like CarGurus, and bring more people to our lot.

Pros: It is perfect as a prestige for my company, its work when customer want to see more cars , or information on my cars.

Cons: not easy to renew my add, i have to delete the add then renew it.

Overall: As a customer of four years, it has truly been a great experience with this company. From the great price points of the advertising, to the easy functionality of the website/app, I would rate this online advertising site as my #1 preferred choice over its competitors.

Pros: Extremely easy to use online/app interface system. Vehicles display is appealing Carsforsale.com sends the data uploaded to other sites for you.

Cons: I have no complaints about this companies software system.

Pros: Its honestly very easy to use, can find your way around the website pretty fast

Cons: When trying to put the "Sold" vehicles off the website it can get a little confusing on that one because we do all of our paperwork here and dont want to put customers information in this system since we are the dealership we do everything here so thats just the only thing i dont like on it. Everything else is great

Overall: Carsforsale has really changed out company. Our reach is much further now and we can quickly advertise our sales and new inventory in a much more efficient and throughout way!

Pros: I love the ease of inputting our inventory and how easy it is to reach so many different outlets and people! Not only in our area but everywhere!

Cons: I wouldn't change much, honestly. The mobile app could be a little better but it is still a good app!

Overall: Always a great experience. Never DREAD handling any issues or questions.

Pros: It is a breeze to navigate through and IF I did run into any problems the staff was always available and patient. They are very thorough and never make you feel "dumb".

Cons: I wish we could have the option to post staff pictures on the page somewhere! Instead I have to call them, forward desired pic and wait! Why not make a section where the shopper can see the faces of the staff they will be interacting with? A "meet the staff" if you will!

Overall: over all a great product, just need to advertise more!

Pros: Ease of use, website creation is nice, and looks great. phone app speeds the process very well.

Cons: loading pictures on the phone app, one at a time is tiresome. I have never seen a carsforsale.com add EVER! Yet I see the competition all the time, there is just not enough reach for good lead generation.

Overall: The overall experience that we've had with carsforsale.com has been nothing less than exceptional. We were actually having some difficulty getting all of the information submitted to our finance company because there was no place on the finance application on the website for the customer to put the name of their bank. After a brief phone conversation, we were told that the additional subsection that we requested would be added. It was added the same day and have had no further issues. This helped eliminate an extra step and save time, as well as increase our credibility with our customers. These are the intangible details that we feel make carsforsale.com stand alone!

Pros: It is easy to navigate and make changes. excellent lead notification. great customer reviews.

Cons: we do not have any cons to speak of at this time!

Overall: Carsforsale.com has a friendly, capable support staff that has always responded quickly to any issues that have arisen. They are one of my favorite companies to work with.

Pros: The program provides useful documents for my business.

Cons: The software is generally easy to use, but not entirely intuitive for new users. That said, after I learned a few simple steps, I have been pleased.

Overall: They always answer and solve any questions or concerns

Pros: Cars for sale is the best to work with. We have used them for years and they are truly great to work with. They are always staying with the needs of the business and the customer services is awesome.

Cons: In all the 6 years of using them I can Not saythere us a least thing about this software company

Overall: We wanted to have a simple to use website as well as lead generation source for our dealership. This was a beyond effective solution.

Pros: Everything is simple to use. It's very clear that the designers had their users in mind when they designed the interface. Awesome!

Cons: There's really nothing to not like. They could have more customizable options but their public facing primary design is amazing!
