    Here's a thought I had...

    What about creating a 1 page ad, similar to an eBay Motors auction page - displaying one vehicle with lots of pictures, good details, purchasing information, etc. - and advertising it with proper keywords on Google?

    After realizing it costs $500 to sell a car on eBay (after all of their fees), this came to mind.

    Whattya think?

    Do you mean create a site in which these pages can be created, or a completely individual site for each car? How would the URL's work?

    Individual site for each car - and not a site, just a single page similar to the single page eBay Auction. And who cares about the URL

    www.whateverdomainiwanttouse.com/2000deville.html

    or something like that.

    Heh...well eBay takes $40 for listing the car, and then they take a percentage of the sale - which on a $18,000 car is around $500 (I don't remember my actual calculations, but that's close).

    eBay is really becoming a pain in the ass. They have ridiculous fees and you can barely find a bargain there anymore, it's basically a retail outlet.

    Although that may not be a bad thing for the rest of the internet retailers, right Joe?
