Ask HN: Review My Startup, UnloadYourCar.com

Would like to get feedback from the HN readers.

I have founded UnloadYourCar.com. This service helps you get the best price for used car. [Think Gazelle, eBay and Lending tree for cars.]

Primary User: General Car Owners Primary "Customer": Auto Dealers

Enter your car and mileage then up to 20 dealers or private buyers make you an offer. You choose the best offer and get a voucher commencing the agreement.

No hassle going to multiple dealers or time spent posting to all the websites.

Revenue: our primary revenue would come from dealers paying to "bid/advertise" their offer.

Right now, automotive dealers are paying on average $20+/unqualified leads (Autotrader, cars.com). (Personal experience)

The Advertising and Marketing costs per new vehicle sold are $650 (NADA research).

I believe we can command a higher price $250+/lead (after validating consumer use/demand) because this is a "Qualified" Lead/Sale for the dealer.

Competition: Atuotrader, TrueCar, Cars.com, etc.
