Kbb.com adds new Classified Inventory Listings for Dealers
Ahhh, another classified inventory listing website for dealers. As if all the other sites are not enough, we now have another option/site to list our dealers inventory on. Just what we need, right!
Starting July 2009, Kbb.com is launching their new inventory listings program. Dealers will be able to sign up to list their New and Used car inventory in KBB.com (Kelly Blue Book).
What ever happened to the Kbb.com and AutoTrader.com Strategic Partnership?
That sure was short lived. It’ll be interesting to see how this play out.
Below is a C/P from Kelly Blue Book about their new service.
