Posted by everycarlisted in : Automotive Advertising, For Dealers, For Sale By Owner, buy a car, everycarlisted.com, sell a car , 1 comment so far1. Free Listings
As car dealers, you assume that “nothing is free.” www.EveryCarListed.com,
(ECL), challenges that assumption by offering free listings for every new
car, every certified used car and every used car on your lot. Not free for
now – FREE FOREVER!
2. No Pressure to Upgrade
How can www.EveryCarListed.com offer free listings FOREVER? It’s simple -
www.EveryCarListed.com’s business model builds value and proven R.O.I. in
OPTIONAL “upgraded” packages with integrated conversion tools subsidized by
selling advertising space on our site. If EveryCarListed.com doesn’t generate leads for you
with our free listings, no worries – NO CHARGE! But – when we do generate
leads – we allow you to give users a better look at your vehicles with our
Silver and Gold packages to enhance your R.O.I. with more advanced shopping
capabilities.
3. Easy to Upload
www.EveryCarListed.com has partnered with DMI, a certified data provider, to
make it easy to take any inventory feeds you have. One call to your third
party provider and your dealership will be processed into the
www.EveryCarLIsted.com system on the the same day!
4. More Visibility Online
New car and used car buyers are looking online for their next vehicle. If
your dealership is not listed with ECL, you are missing the online shoppers
and exposure that two and one half million vehicles and twenty thousand plus
auto dealer inventories will attract. www.EveryCarListed.com is climbing
the search rankings to compete with other car listing sites that charge to
list your inventory and/or charge for every lead. Why pay for
listings/leads when ECL offers them free!
5. Excellent Service
Finally, www.EveryCarListed.com is proud of its dealership service. Our goal
is to be a valuable strategic partner to your business. We are working
towards new partnerships that will provide more services and options to sell
your new cars, certified used cars and used cars faster!
Automotive Advertising Agencies Love EveryCarListed.Com! October 24, 2008
Posted by everycarlisted in : Automotive Advertising, For Dealers, For Sale By Owner, Uncategorized, buy a car, buying a car, everycarlisted.com, sell a car, selling a car , add a commentAs the President of AdAgencyOnline, L.L.C. and the host of a blog talk radio station on automotive advertising – WAAOL, All Automotive Advertising All The Time - I have had the opportunity to review many inventory based automotive advertising websites. I can honestly say that none of them provide the added values to consumers, auto dealers and automotive advertising agencies that are offered on EveryCarListed.Com.
Their free “For Sale By Owner” listings for consumers and their free “Bronze” package for auto dealers to post their inventory on EveryCarListed.Com has provided a transparency in product and price that is very competitive on the World Wide Web. Every car for sale by private sellers and auto dealers can be seen and compared on one site with no sales pressure. The ability to comparison shop every make and model imagineable in the convenience of your home, office or even on your PDA or cell phone with the pending addition of their mobile site – EveryCarListed.Miobi – provides an online shopping experience that is not available in the “real world” and is difficult to find on the virtual one.
If you are an auto dealer or an automotive advertising agency you may want to go to www.blogtalkradio.com/adagencyonline and listen to an interview that I conducted with the COO of EveryCarListed.Com, Dale Boone, and the CEO, Darrell Campbell. I was amazed at the clarity of their business model and the leveraged resources that they are bringing to their site.
If you are a customer looking to sell your car, buy a car or just trying to learn the value of your car in case you want to trade it in, you couldn’t find an easier “one stop site” to do it with. In today’s troubled economy everyone is looking to get more for less. EveryCarListed.Com has provided an even playing field for consumers and car dealers to meet – for free – with no obligation other than to learn what it would take to sell your car and buy another one. If the deal works for one side of the table it must work for the other and at EveryCarListed.Com they are both represented equally.

EveryCarListed.com Offers Free Auto Listings Service October 22, 2008
Posted by everycarlisted in : Automotive Advertising, For Dealers, For Sale By Owner, buy a car, buying a car, everycarlisted.com, sell a car, selling a car , 1 comment so farBuyers and Sellers Come Together in Free Online Venue
This week marks the launch of a consumer Web site designed to have a vast collection of new and used vehicles for sale in America. By listing all dealer inventories at a basic service level for free and allowing all “For Sale by Owner” individual listings to be placed for free, www.EveryCarListed.com™ has created an excellent online buying and selling site for vehicles.
“www.EveryCarListed.com will become one of the the main sites for the nation’s used vehicle shoppers,” according to the company’s Chief Executive Officer Darrell Campbell. “Because of agreements with Original Equipment Manufacturers like GM, Ford, Chrysler and Dodge, we can provide consumers with almost every new and used vehicle made by those companies.” With additional vehicles being listed by dealers and individuals, www.EveryCarListed.com will soon be a competitive force in online auto sales.
Shoppers can search locally or nationwide on the site using 12 search categories including make/model/year, price, mileage, fuel economy and other features. A value graph gives vehicle comparisons by mileage and price, and the map view indicates where each desired vehicle is located. Listings on the site are updated daily, so when an individual or dealer lists a vehicle or inventory changes at the dealership, each vehicle entering or leaving the marketplace is posted to the www.EveryCarListed.com site. Shoppers can also search for vehicles using mobile applications.
The Internet outpaces all other traditional media in supplying information to auto buyers, and www.EveryCarListed.com benefits consumers by responding to the growing number of online vehicle shoppers. It benefits individuals by offered a broadly-viewed free site on which to advertise, and it benefits dealers by listing all inventories for free with the Bronze basic listing, or at one low monthly price through the optional Silver and Gold listings programs.
“Our business plan follows the Yellow Page industry model of all basic listings for free,” states Campbell. “The basic service level will always be free. Dealers who upgrade to Silver or Gold listings can offer unique content to shoppers. There are eight photos per vehicle in the Silver Program, and 32 photos per vehicle in the Gold program along with a unique video walk-around that lets shoppers see the vehicle’s interior and exterior.”
Campbell said consumers will be directed to www.EveryCarListed.com in the Verizon® Yellow Pages directories, thanks to collaboration with Idearc Media, publishers of the Verizon Yellow Pages and home to Superpages.com. Digital Motorworks, Inc. (DMi), an independent subsidiary of ADP Dealer Services Group based in Austin, TX provides vehicle data management, including vehicle photos and videos, for the site.
www.EveryCarListed.com is a free-listings Web site for automobiles, designed to contain new and used vehicles for sale in the U.S. Its business model is like that of the Yellow Pages, which has a highly utilized model of free listings. Including all dealer inventories at a basic service level free of charge and allowing all For Sale by Owner listings to be placed for free, www.EveryCarListed.com creates the ultimate online automobile marketplace. Millions of current vehicle listings, updated daily, and signed agreements with Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) as well as GM Certified Used Vehicles and other strategic partners, ensure that when inventory changes at local dealerships, the most up-to-date vehicle information will be posted to the Web site.
Selling a car and buying a car online with EveryCarListed.Com vs. Trading It In. October 18, 2008
Posted by everycarlisted in : Automotive Advertising, For Dealers, For Sale By Owner, Uncategorized, buy a car, buying a car, everycarlisted.com, sell a car, selling a car , 1 comment so farBuying a car usually requires selling your car, which means that there are two ways for consumers to lose money and in today’s troubled economy one is bad enough! The flip side of that scenario is offered by EveryCarListed.com with the opportunity to sell your car for more while buying a replacement car for less.
The math on EveryCarListed.Com works out much better for the consumer who is now able to burn the profit/loss candle from both sides. Coincidentally, the auto dealer who is willing to accept a fair profit from a ready willing and able buyer who has already sold their previous “trade-in” – or at least settled on a fair market driven value for their car and the car they are willing to purchase to replace it – also comes out ahead on EveryCarListed.com.
The “free” for sale by owner listings on EveryCarListed.com is only half of the solution. Other inventory based automotive advertising sites charge from $35-$75 dollars for the same service so put that money on the savings side for the consumer before reading any further. The fact that it doesn’t come from the auto dealer’s side of the table in the sell/buy process for the consumer is a unique advantage provided by EveryCarListed.com with buyers meeting sellers on a level “free” playing field in a win-win scenario.
The “free” automotive advertising offered by EveryCarListed.Com for auto dealers to post their inventory on the site is another savings that can be passed onto the consumer. Other third party automotive advertising sites charge auto dealers either for the listing or the “leads” generated, a cost that is eventually passed onto the consumer. Check off another savings for both parties!
Now comes the really big savings for both consumers and auto dealers. One stop shopping with EVERY auto dealer and EVERY make and model of car on one site – as offered by EveryCarListed.Com – allows consumers to compare product and price without the typical sales hype and self serving issues of both buyers and sellers. Consumers are able to compare their vehicle to private sellers and auto dealers selling similar vehicles to help them set a fair price as either a “trade-in” or a private sale.
Once the equation arrives at a fair “difference” figure the old vehicle is sold and a new vehicle is purchased – or, from the auto dealers perspective; the old vehicle is purchased and the new vehicle is sold. Either way, the consumer gets the fair market value for their car and the auto dealer makes a fair profit on selling them their new one; WIN-WIN!
There is one advantage realized by trading in your vehicle to an auto dealer rather than selling it privately. Once the fair market value is determined by private offers on the for sale by owner listings on EveryCarListed.Com you must consider the fact that in many states the sales taxes are only computed on the “trade difference.” This tax loop-hole could represent a major savings for the consumer trying to sell a car with the expectation to buy a replacement and it doesn’t cost the auto dealer a penny. In Florida, for example, a 6% sales tax saving on a $10,000 vehicle is $600 so a dealer offering you $10,000 is actually offering you $10,600 compared to a private sale. Also, many auto dealers need your trade-in to sell on their used car lot and they may consider the “future profit” from that sale when negotiating the difference figure for them to buy your car if you buy theirs. Remember, there are two sides of a negotiation and neither will win unless both do!
