The pandemic has forced all of us to rethink how buyers shop for cars and no longer is it enough to just have a website, a digital presence, or post online to classifieds. To be successful with today’s post-covid buyers, dealerships need to understand how today’s consumers prefer to research and buy cars. With more buyers than ever looking to purchase cars, it is more important to align your dealership where buyers are researching and shopping.
