Why aren’t my Marketplace car ads attracting serious buyers?

      So, I’m not new to the car business, but I recently moved to a wholesale lot where the main source of advertisement is marketplace. I’ve tried several things like the long detailed descriptions, and I’ve made some that are short and sweet. I’ve done a ton of pictures and a video, and then just a 4 corner and an interior shot. We even price the cars cheaper than what the books are. I’ve done everything I can think of and nothing is catching attention, and the ones that catch a little traction never provide any serious buyers. Any advice?

        So first of all marketplace isn’t for selling cars.

          I sell most of my cars on marketplace. My cars are usually the highest in the market. Because I price them based on CARFAX. Some people say you’re crazy, it’s too much, but many engage and make offers. IDK, maybe it’s my area, but it works for me.

          I do 17–20 photos. I take a photo of the CARFAX most of the time if it’s good.

          I advertise on carfurus and CARFAX and I sell about 12 month from marketplace.

          I do boost as well for cars that aren’t moving, usually on Thursdays. I change the prices often. Maybe lower or raise by $100 or so.

          I am sure it could be the type of cars or maybe area, but it works for me. And yes there are slow times. I will delete cars and repost them. I make sure to post them in 20 groups that are the largest audience within 100 miles of me. Not just car sale groups but others as well. Good luck. I do put in my ads, I am a dealer.

            Everyone flips cars now. Time to move on to the next product. marketplace is not the place to sell vehicles. In Utah the car seen is done. Used car lots going bye bye every year.

              Why would you wholesale cars on marketplace? I can’t imagine you’d get enough engagement from dealers.
