## Pros and Cons in Reviews

“Paying $99 is a great value but it could use a vin code scanner to import or vehicles and give a book value for potential auction purchases when doing book outs on the fly. If you were to add that it would be a better deal for smaller lot verses Dealercenter or vin Solutions.“

OwnerAutomotive, Self-employedUsed the software for: Less than 6 months.

“The main issue & likely the reason I will discontinue using Carsforsale in the future is it lacks a Buy Here Pay Here user option. When first beginning the business I was not aware that a large percentage of potential customers request BHPH availability before even reviewing our inventory, if that's not available, they simply go elsewhere. If I had been aware of this need initially, I would not have selected Carsforsale as my DMS.“

### "Longtime User"

July 31, 2024

5.0

I have always been happy with Carsforsale. I receive a lot of pitches from competitors. It is hard for them to bash CFS because the pricepoint is amazing, and the functionality is all there.

Pros

It is the best bang for your buck when it comes to website, CRM and lead generation. I am not certain where else you can pay $100 a month and receive all of the services and benefits we receive.

Cons

The only thing that I am not 100% stoked about is the inability to make changes without contacting support. I wish that our website could be updated and changed often without opening up a service ticket with customer support. Truthfully, though, that appears to be the only negative I've encountered.

Reason for choosing Carsforsale.com

Price and the customer support I worked with initially was extremely impressive. (Not to say they aren't still, but I just remember being glad I spoke with them.)

It was about 6 years ago when we made the switch. I was working on cutting expenses prior to forecasting for the next year. The product we were using was closer to $900/month and Carsforsale seemed to be a respectable alternative at a much cheaper price.

### "I was decently happy with most the internal features."

February 6, 2025

4.0

Its a good price for what you get. Paying $99 is a great value but it could use a vin code scanner to import or vehicles and give a book value for potential auction purchases when doing book outs on the fly. If you were to add that it would be a better deal for smaller lot verses Dealercenter or vin Solutions.

Pros

Alot of good options, Crm, inventory management for smaller dealers, included website

Cons

Never really got any leads or many clicks from it. Could just be my area or online marketing in my area isn't the best route. Ill really never know I'm no longer in business

February 5, 2025

3.0

Fine I guess. It worked when we were small

Pros

I could see competition in the area. Auto filling vehicles features

Cons

I had zero control of the backend of our website. I had to ask to update pictures or anything to do with the layout. No control over SEO and image captions (seo). Carsforsale wouldn't show our vehicles if the company phone number was in the image. Didn't display our phone number to steal traffic. Customers can easily choose a different car lots vehicle. The proprietary element of Carsforsale sucks and ruins the experience.

### "Why Do I Have to Title a Review (jk jk no hard feelings)"

February 6, 2025

5.0

It's a pretty sick little website platform that feels like a hidden gem in the industry. Miles better than my experience with Dealer.com. I'm surprised more people don't use CfS websites.

Pros

Excellently priced, extremely prompt support, and responsive, flexible design tools that give me full control over the look and feel of the site. \[insert thumbs up emoji here\]

Cons

Website performance (i.e. load times, image quality, etc.) could be better but for $99 you're not gonna catch me complaining TOO much.

Alternatives considered

[Dealer.com](https://www.capterra.com/p/222063/Dealercom/)

Reason for choosing Carsforsale.com

TBH I have no flippin idea who I looked at other than CfS at this point (it's been a very long time) but CfS's monthly cost was so much lower than the competition that I would have been a FOOL not to switch.

### "Great for mainstream dealers, not quite there for niche dealers"

January 30, 2025

3.0

For any mainstream car dealer, picking CFS is a no-brainer. Their helpdesk is top notch, they have flexible designs and loads of integrations. But if you sell classic cars or want to add an eCommerce store, they are, at this time, not a suitable solution.

Pros

Flexible designs, many options, and most of all, an extremely responsive helpdesk team. By far THE BEST helpdesk I've worked with in the last 10 years.

Cons

Once you ask something that is not in the platform, it takes FOREVER to get them to work on it. Their internal development teams are WAY TOO SLOW to pick up totally logical use cases, and even to fix bugs.

Not the greatest product or service for dealer

Pros

Too standard and doesn't generate leads. Doesn't have many options compared to other companies

### "The Rob Pelton - Einspritzen Auto Haus - VROOM VROOM !! 2-04-2025. "

February 5, 2025

5.0

I am SUPER HAPPY and cant do it alone or without Carsforsale.com . They recently came out with a car flyer template which is a true convenience and save TONS of time and puts out a True Professional look.

Pros

I am NEW to the Car Business as a Dealer and did not work as a Salesman anywhere. I have ALOT to learn and I KNOW that. EVERYTIME I have called in , the staff has helped me IMMENSELY !! Even on Saturdays . I dropped Dealer Trac from day one as it was very expensive. I selected Frazer. So Carsforsale.com and Frazer are integrated and work amazingly well together for vehicle uploads and customer input. And, both platforms link to DealerTrac, which also help a TON . So, if Anyone asks me what do I think about Carsforsale.com.? My answer is I don't have each individuals name on hand that helped me, but I have a list at my office. And they ALL WERE EXCELLANT !! I WOULD BE OUT OF BUSINESS WITHOUT THEIR SUPPORT AND AMAZING WEBSITE DESIGN AND PLATFORM. THEY ALWAYS HELP ME, AND QUICKLY . I try to RUN my Car Business as well as they run theirs, which gets me some success. CONGRATULATIONS to Our Shared Success. And the recent upgrades of Car Flyers and Info training videos is much APPRECIATED !! I believe in giving credit where credit is due. CarsforSale.com ROCKS IT !! And beibg able to sync with Frazer keeps me alive. Thank you ALL SO MUCH , sincerely, The Rob Pelton - Einspritzen Auto Haus - VROOM VROOM !! RPX. out. 2-04-2025.

Cons

SOFA SO GOOD !! They are SUPER HELPFUL, CHEERFUL, and we can laugh out loud at my ridiculous low level computer skills coupled to my vastly creative advertising skilled mind.

### "Great for smaller dealerships"

February 5, 2025

customer service is always on point and ready to help. I would recommend for any small dealership needing website help.

Pros

It is pretty easy to use. I also like that it goes directly to my website.

Cons

I have large heavy equipment and wish there was a category for that. Even if I had to enter "other" for the Make of the equipment.
