Not sure whether this question makes sense on SO, but I'm working on a website that would provide a list of new cars of interest to the user, a bit like autotrader.com. Do you guys know how this type of websites operate? On autotrader.com I was thinking that maybe the dealers have to upload and update their inventory themselves. Does anyone know whether it is the case? Also I felt that when you go to a dealer in the US, they can search for a specific car through all the dealerships. Bottom line: The inventory seems to be accessible by third parties - who knows more?

Accelerate My Deal puts the financing information car buyers need at their fingertips to get an accurate, personalized payment, plus finance and trade-in options.
REMARKETING. In our experience, remarketing is the most successful targeting method for car dealers advertising on Facebook. Remarketing campaigns target previous website visitors to ensure your ad spend is focused on users who are already familiar with your brand and known to be in-market for a vehicle.
AutoTrader gets its data by
Inventory is normally not accessible by other third parties... however one can always get the data for most dealers in the US via API from Oddle or Vast and Edmunds.
I should also add that you can get a custom crawl of all the data on ATC & cars.com from 80legs.com. This kind of service is used by companies that do pricing analytic for dealers.
You can also try contacting the website providers or the lot management companies and get the data feed from them.
