I think craigslist and fleabay have done a lot to connect sellers with buyers. This used to be the function of a used car dealer. I think that whole part of the auto industry will be changing, with the buy-here pay-here types still having a function to service those who can't come up with cash in hand to buy a car. It may be time to start looking for a new career.
