About the Platform

What is the 3-tiered network?

Our 3-tiered approach gives dealers maximum exposure:

  • Tier 1: Your own dealer website (your brand)
  • Tier 2: 919 Used Cars (local 919 area)
  • Tier 3: NC statewide network (regional exposure)

This strategy captures buyers at every stage of their search without the massive costs of national platforms.

How is this different from AutoTrader or CarGurus?

We focus on local, affordable listings for independent dealers who can't afford $2,000-5,000/month for national platforms. By staying local and keeping costs down, we help smaller dealers compete online.

Do you sell my data or show ads?

No! We don't sell user data to third parties. We make money by charging dealers to list, not by selling your information or cluttering the site with ads.
