Craigslist is charging auto dealers a flat $5 per car listing fee to advertise their used cars on it’s platform.
Considering Craigslist used to be free has many car dealers fuming!
But here is something new that might work out better than Craigslist for car dealers. OfferUp is something you car dealers should try out.
Everything these days is turning to mobile devices. OfferUp is an app available for both Android and Apple platforms and is definitely worth giving a shot.

OfferUp is revolutionizing how you buy and sell cars locally. With a single snap, you can take a photo of one of your cars and instantly circulate it to prospective buyers nearby.
OfferUp uses your smartphones GPS technology to scour your area or an easily set range to see what cars are for sale nearby.
