Robert Hildreth replied to Jackie Cahill's discussion Cars.com and Auto Trader, Get Rid of One?"Hello Jackie,
This is a question I ask myself every time I walk into a new dealership. I just cancelled Cars.com and kept Autotrader for my 2 stores I run. My stores are in the Bay Area and in 2 different cities more then an hour apart. 1 Location…"
