          I did an advertising deal with the guys that owned Car.com (the singular version) at the beginning of the year. They sold that over the summer for 8 figures but kept it quiet and out of the news.

                They sold Car.com for $48 Million.

                He told me it was bringing in 3 million car buyer leads per year and facilitating 1.5 million transactions annually.

                I don't know what Cars.com has sold for, but I don't think it was at that, though it would surely be now.

                        rumor i got it went for right at 50 mill. ofcourse the person i heard this from had nothing to do with the transaction, so i have no clue how valid that would be

                            That would make them responsible for over a billion dollars worth of transactions.

                            1.5 Million * $10k (Modest estimate per car) = $1.5 Billion

                            Some big money is being made there. I wonder how they get on per average unit sold.

                              They get a significant lead fee.

                                      There is some big money being made on some of these sites.

                                      All kinds of domains generate ten digits plus

                                      Look no further then ebay, and all they charge is some small aution fee.

                                      Its funny how a company can earn billions of dollars by charging $5 here and thirty cents there

                                      Makes me realize just how big the internet really is.

                                            yes, and he is always on a buying spree... and rumors he may take IAC private.

                                                I worked for the company that owned cars.com and careerbuilder.com, etc. Cars.com was registered long ago by the Detroit Free Press newspaper as the online automotive section of that newspaper's website. Knight Ridder, the corporate parent, gave the domain to Classified Ventures, inc. in order to develop as a national portal.

                                                    He told me it was bringing in 3 million car buyer leads per year and facilitating 1.5 million transactions annually.

                                                    I don't know what Cars.com has sold for, but I don't think it was at that, though it would surely be now.

                                                    48 millions ? That's the highest priced domain I've ever heard about

                                                      They already had a site doing big buisness on the domain.
