Last time I checked(if memory serves), the marketplace on average had
over a hundred hits a day.  Not to mention, if you post something to
the marketplace, it gets sent automatically to a 'marketplace'
mailing list(http://www.audifans.com/mailman/listinfo/marketplace),
which has about 90 people on it(as of this morning.)

There's a very simple explanation to why there's a 20:1 ratio between
membership and views-per-day of the marketplace.  Simply and bluntly
put, most of the list isn't looking for a car(yours or anybody
else's.)  When they do, they go to the marketplace, along with their
local newspaper, AutoTrader, the Want Ads, etc.

So exactly what advantage does posting here have?
