Hi Everyone,

This seems like a great forum so I was hoping to run an idea I have for an asset trade which might be of value to an auto dealership seeking more leads online via searches for auto financing related terms.

It seems like with the current state of the economy and auto industry that more people are making auto purchase decisions based on where and how they can get financing and not necessarily all of the make model and year stuff. I would think that any auto dealership that does offer financing solutions would want to be heavy in this type of online marketing.

Here is my little idea and situation:
I own the internet domain name: AutoLoans.Online which could be a great asset for bringing in potential buyers that are searching for financing. I'm in need of a reliable vehicle and thought perhaps someone may be interested in trading an unsold surplus vehicle of some kind for this domain name?

Would this be a realistic trade idea? I don't know a whole lot about the auto Industry, but with online sales becoming more important, I would think this could be a much more valuable asset than some 2004 CRV that's been sitting on the lot for months. I have previously sold the domain "TitleLoans.Online" for $4500 just to give you an idea of potential value in the real world. All I'm seeking is a vehicle that runs reliably, of any value. I can arrange for pickup as well.

Any input would be greatly appreciated!
