otbarker 0 Posted October 23, 2018 Do people bother with Car Gurus because it is free or because it actually results in any sales? What do we think of 'freemium' pricing models where you can get the very basis stuff unlimited but have to pay for all the necessary features. Or is it best to operate a basic/mid/premium package like ebay do? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blenheim Car Sales 111 Posted October 23, 2018 I have been on there Free service for 3 months and then they called letting me have the premium service for 2 weeks, Based on my experiences they must have a very low market share for people searching for cars, I am and was disappointed but will continue with there free service No quality in inquiry's so far, Single e-mail that gets a fast response from me but nothing further at all it seems to be from the customer Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mojo121 229 Posted October 23, 2018 Sold the odd cheap car off there. Not anywhere near enough to justify paying but not none so I put the time into adding them on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stockedup! 63 Posted October 24, 2018 I certainly wouldn't consider paying for it even though they can be very persuasive on the upsell. I have had their full premium package on a free months trial and sold one car off it(the cost would have been £500 according to them). I get loads of emails that amount to nothing!

Mistermuttley 19 Posted November 4, 2018 Have a 207 on cg at the mo. Have had 5 emails requesting info/test drive. Replied to all of them and got zero replies. Got the missus to make an enquiry on it and my reply went straight to her spam folder. I'll still advertise there as its free and I'm tight but if sites like car gurus want to establish themselves they need to allow phone numbers in the ads. Maybe then sell the ads cheap just to grow their customer base. Someone needs to challenge Autoraper. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
