Thats a good idea. Definitely would work well if you were dealing in sub $15k cars. Not to many BMW/Merc/Porsche drivers in a hurry to unload.
ts funny though, the day I start advertising a car I get 10 calls from dealers trying to low ball the price. I'm talking $5k or more. It really can't be worth the insane amount of cold calling they must do even if they found 1 great deal a month.
