Confessions Of A Car Dot Commer
from the it-ain't-easy dept
We recently posted a story about how difficult it was to sell cars online, and now here's some feedback from the former head of Priceline's car division on why selling cars over Priceline didn't work. Basically, it seems like an attempt to sell something online where no one really thought out what was going through the consumer's mind, and how they normally shopped for cars, and why.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
