Are there bots interested in my vehicle?

Asked by Jimbo Jul 17, 2019 at 06:58 PM

Question type: Car Selling & Trading In

I've had my truck for sale on Cargurus for a while now and everyday I get
different people asking the same questions:  Is your vehicle still available? Can
you share more pictures?  I still get these even after updating my trucks
description with:  I ASSURE YOU THIS VEHICLE IS STILL AVAILABLE.
I respond to all inquiries and never get a reply.  This site is a joke.

I’ve been experiencing the exact same thing. Jeep has been for sale for a month with no real hits. Always the same questions with no response once I reply. To think I even paid for 20 extra bucks for it to be featured

Weak platform, all messages received were from bots. They inquire and never respond, always the same inquiry. Rip-off.

No bots, just flakes. What would anyone have to gain by making empty offers with bots? Amusement?

I get the same inquiry or variations of the same thing. Some even converse with me and then ask the same questions. Total joke glad I only lost 5 dollars

Same!! Glad I found this thread. Starting to get really annoying, probably why it is free for the most part. Will probably just bite the bullet and pay like $40 and sell on auto trader
