Dealer missing from inventory search

garyking

Looking for info on a new Lexus, but the Edmunds New Car Search doesn't show any inventory for my local dealer. (Lexus of Colorado Springs)
Tried every combination I could think of but nothing is ever found.
Other car search websites show the dealers inventory.
(but not the level of detail I am accustomed to at Edmunds)
Any ideas?

Update on issue: I tried the local MB dealer and had the same problem.
Local Audi dealer shows up.
This is weird (and annoying)

Edmunds inventory might only be for dealers that are signed up with Edmunds.

I don't know that for sure, however.

So Edmunds only shows inventory for the highest bidder?
I thought Edmunds was one of the last few honest car sites.

No, not the highest bidder..

But, dealers that have signed up to be Edmunds dealers.

It is a for-profit enterprise, but that doesn't make Edmunds dishonest.
