I am launching a new website exclusively for auto dealers. This website is strictly for auto dealers to trade wholesale inventory between each other. To get it off the ground, I need some initial dealers with a decent amount of wholesale inventory to list their vehicles on the website. Then I can attract other dealers to buy their inventory which attracts more wholesale inventory. But I need those first 6 to 12 dealers in a regional area to get the ball rolling. What are the best ways to find these dealers? Calling them one at a time will take too long.
BTW - The website is currently free to use for the next 2 or 3 months. After that dealers will pay a small monthly fee for using it. There are no listing fees or transaction costs.

Retail is what dealers need because of floor plan the inventory cost interest rate and dealership bricks and mortar. Not to mention parts and service. Your pushing a rock up hill dealers trade cars all the time. Each State Automobile Dealers Associations are "the old boys club" Unless you grew up with these old guys forget about breaking into the business practices of car dealers. Computer Inventory dealer locator services from GM,Nissan,Ford and others are free so any expence other than the one driver two cars moved the old guys won't pay

tell them what you can do for them and how it'll benefit them, get to know sales managers and their customers...think of it from their point of view, and you'll have your answers
