Carsforsale.com Reviews

Pros

It is the best bang for your buck when it comes to website, CRM and lead generation. I am not certain where else you can pay $100 a month and receive all of the services and benefits we receive.

Cons

The only thing that I am not 100% stoked about is the inability to make changes without contacting support. I wish that our website could be updated and changed often without opening up a service ticket with customer support. Truthfully, though, that appears to be the only negative I've encountered.

Pros

I was with DCS for a long time and by the time it was all said and done with all their add on's I was paying 5x's what I pay with CFS. In addition to the money it is a great basic option for a website with easy integrations and a reasonable amount of backend options.

Cons

I would love to be able to have a more "custom" home page on the website.

Pros

Price is great! They are probably the cheapest around

Cons

I think you get what you are paying for! It’s cheap

Pros

This is very helpful for us they provide many car for sale in a single platform

Cons

I like these website qualities or replies within few minutes

Pros

special thanks to [sensitive content hidden]. I’ve been with Cars for sale for nearly 14 years.

Cons

Can’t complain about anything Cars for sale is great

Pros

It hosts my website. Other than that, I don't think it's that great.

Cons

I don't like the pre-selected ad words. I would like to make my own and have it stick so I don't have to re-type it every time.

I don't like the photo overlay options and I would like to delete the ones I do
not use, and save the ones I do.

I don't think I am getting enough hits from this. I get more from cargurus and I don't even use them.

Alternatives Considered

Reasons for Switching to Carsforsale.com

Pros

The way ir used to be and how it was pitched was amazing

Cons

The new setup is horrible and glitches everything making work impossible. Customer service is so bad I'm writing these reviews. If you call and need help or ask for a manager [sensitive content hidden] will hang up on you and never help u just continues to be rude.

Pros

Easy inventory management as this is really their only focus

Cons

You can't do any marketing with the site. Here's a list of things you can't do.

1. No on-page SEO. You can't change meta descriptions, title tags, alt tags, link tags, heading tags, image sizes, URLs, or create any internal or external linking. If you are looking to get this site to rank, good luck.

2. Inability to do 301 redirects. They seriously do not have the ability to establish these. So all those pages you built backlinks to on your previous site, there is no way to recapture those backlinks on the new site, short of going back to all of those backlinks & updating the URL those sites.

3. Customer service is rude. I mean, seriously rude. They don't give a XXXX and will treat you that way as well. Pretty surprising since South Dakota is supposed to have the nicest people in America.

4. Can't add schemas. Again, they don't care if your site ranks

5. Can't create landing pages. Want to create a special landing page for your PPC campaign? You won't do that here.

6. No Blogs. You can't create your own blog section nor are they equipped with a blog section. Their literal suggestion is to input your blogs into their customer review section which is nothing more than a running list on a page.

7. Backend interface is dated. Want to add your GA4 tag to the site? You can't do that on the backend as they are only equipped for UA. This is just one example.

If these 7 reasons didn't convey my point, I don't know what will. The whole thing is garbage.

Pros

EASY TO USE, GREAT FOR BUSINESS, ATTRACTS CLIENTS. I ALSO LIKE THE ACCESS THAT WE HAVE TO THEIR TEAM AND THE ABILITY TO MAKE CHANGES TO OUR WEBSITE.

Cons

WE NEED MORE INTEGRATIONS. THE OVE AND OTHER FEATURES NEED TO WORK.

Pros

Pricing, Quality, and Great Response from our Products

Cons

I really cant say anything bad about Carsforsale.com Except maybe they could advertise more so the general public knows of them.

Pros

We like having an easy to use and maintain website.

Cons

We feel that we lose a lot of potential customers because of the 3rd party connection to the beginning of the call. Customers hang up because they feel it is spammy. We con't care for the recorded calls. And the posts to our facebook page could be a little more personalized. And when you search on google or search platforms, carsforsale does not usually pop up unless you physically type in "carsforsale". Also , we have a repair shop that we would like to integrate online appointments that is easy to figure out for our customers. So far we don't have that option or know how to integrate it.

Pros

Best value for the money, better looking product than most, easy to use, customers have positive results using the site.

Cons

1) having to take extra steps to add a "banner" to a listing photo. 2) inability to not disable the "loan calculator", since we are a cash lot and do not offer financing, it has caused some confusion with customers, 3) lack of ability to delete/close text and phone call leads.

Pros

Easy to use and navigate.
Like the way they send out the inventory to the partner sites

Cons

No negative experiences
Customer service is top notch
Nothing bad to say
