“Own marketplace” means the provider runs its own car-buying site and puts your stock on it as part of the fee — not a feed to a marketplace you pay for separately.

The one thing only we do

What the £79 buys that nobody else on that table offers.

Every other platform on that table sells you plumbing — feeds that push your stock to Auto Trader, CarGurus, Cazoo and the rest. Useful, but a feed is worth nothing until you are already paying that marketplace. Feed a portal you do not subscribe to and precisely nothing happens.

We own a marketplace. Your stock goes onto Local Car Sales automatically as part of the £79 — no commission, no per-car fee, no separate subscription — and CarDealerCMS dealers rank at the top of its results, above dealers paying separately for placement. Buyers click straight through to you.

You also get the feed URL for Cazoo, AutoVillage, CarSite and MotorVillage, and an eBay feed if you use eBay. So you get the plumbing and somewhere for it to go.

Frequently asked

What does the £79 include?
Everything, in one plan: your website on your own domain, unlimited cars with no per-car fee, DVLA lookup when you add a car, sales invoicing and a stock book, and a listing on Local Car Sales, our national marketplace, at the top of its results. Local Car Sales membership is sold on its own at £19 a month, so the website part of the £79 is effectively £60.
What do I get that other platforms don’t give me?
A marketplace. Your £79 includes a listing on Local Car Sales, our own national marketplace, with no commission and no per-car fee — and CarDealerCMS dealers sit at the top of its results. Other platforms give you feeds, which move your stock to marketplaces you pay for separately.
How big is Local Car Sales?
It carries 96,600+ cars from 3,064 independent UK dealers, and buyers click straight through to the dealer’s own site.
Can you move my existing cars across?
Usually, yes — details and photos. We can import from ClickDealer, Car Dealer 5, NetDirector, Dragon2000, MotorDesk, AutoWeb, Pinewood, DealerPlus, SMG Digital, Codeweavers, Dealer Manager, 67 Degrees, Spidersnet, vcarsDNA and WordPress sites, plus Dragon2000, Auto-IT and MotorDesk stock feeds. Ring 0800 6444 199 and we will tell you there and then.
Do you manage it for me or do I do it myself?
You run the day to day — adding a car takes a couple of minutes, you type the registration and the details fill themselves in. But you do not do the setting up: we import your existing stock, get the site live and connect your Local Car Sales listing. If you get stuck you ring a person, not a ticket system.
The bit the price alone hides

Our £79 already includes a £19 product

Local Car Sales membership is sold on its own at £19 a month. It is a real product with its own page, its own subscribers and its own billing — not a bundled extra invented for a comparison table.

CarDealerCMS includes it. So the £79 is not just a website: the website part of CarDealerCMS is effectively £60 a month, and the marketplace placement is the other £19.

What you payWhere your cars rank on Local Car SalesWhere your cars sit for Facebook posting
CarDealerCMS — £79/mo
website + everything below		 Top of results, plus Featured cards pinned above the listings First pick every run
Local Car Sales member — £19/mo
listing only, no website		 Above every unverified dealer, verified badge, no listing cap Second pick, after CarDealerCMS dealers
Claimed listing — free Above unclaimed listings Eligible
Unclaimed — free
we found your stock and indexed it		 Listed, bottom of results Eligible

Facebook placement is priority, not a guarantee — one car per page per day, and the car needs a usable photo. Being higher up the ladder means your stock is picked first, not that every car is posted.

Start small if you want

  • £19 a month gets you listed above unverified dealers, a verified badge, and your cars in the queue for our Facebook pages.
  • No website, no migration, no commitment. If it does nothing for you, cancel.
  • If it does work, the £19 stops being a separate bill the day you move up — it is already inside the £79.

So what does the website actually cost?

  • £79 total, minus the £19 marketplace membership you would otherwise buy separately.
  • £60 a month for the website — your own domain, unlimited cars, DVLA lookup, descriptions written for you, SEO, analytics.
  • And you move to the top of the marketplace rather than the middle of it.
