I use Base CRM because it's ridiculously simple for contacts and on my galaxy nexus the app is one of the few that is truly awesome. It keeps my business and personal contacts separate and lets me add notes and tasks after every work call.

This is actually what AutoRef.com, the startup I'm working with does. While it is similar to CarWoo for used cars, interacting with dealerships about specific vehicles tied to a VIN number is quite complex.

We have been experimenting with ways to keep customers in the loop as we expand our inventory beyond the Pennsylvania and Southern California region. Your suggestion addresses the problem before "guests" even search, which is an improvement
