    Interesting read. I think most people will read it and think... too much work. I read it and thought... lots of opportunity if you are networked locally with business owners.

    Nice idea, working at a dealership, I do see cars that don't ever sell!

    I just might have to try it...

    Can you give us a ballpark idea of the return you made from this?

    Over 30k in ad spend is pretty massive.

    Let's see... If he sold 68 vehicles at $25k that's $1,700,000. Assuming these cars are obviously brand new they are probably marked down to invoice price. Perhaps even cutting into hold back. If the dealer profitted $1,500 between frontend and back end the total gross profit was $102,000 and net profit like $70k after advertising costs. If you broke this down to a 12 month period of time dealer paid only $2,700 a month in advertising and tripled their money. $30k in advertising is nothing in this scenario. With dealerships able to bump the interest rate within a 2.5% margin and pad the back with aftermarket services it's easy to make big bucks.
