Dismiss a dealer for lack of computer knowledge? Patrick help me out if possible.....

Found a nice Gts worth investigating, the right mileage, the right price, and the right country even, (as opposed to importing a US spec viper into Canada, and the 1.58ish dollar).

Regardless the used car dealer is on the opposite side of the country, and herewithin lies the problem:
The dealer site is extremely hokey, a quick 20 minute creation with an external link to their inventory with our Canadian Auto Trader, hmmmmmm...... picture is coming soon of course, has been for weeks, and all other inventory photos will not come up as well, ugh.....

Question to toss out is would you dismiss a dealer based on poor web design alone? Of course, according to sales, the car is mint, never been wrecked, all origianl mileage etc, under 10,000 miles. The next step is the obvious Carfax run, and Vin check at the Dodge dealer, and nifty little document called the Used Car Information Package which tracks all the owners with dates to present with current addresses, very nice for tracing a vehicles history, not sure if that is available stateside. I just question am I wasting my time with a dealer than cannot post a picture on the internet, could be unfair, have been labelled anal-retentive a few times, haha...

Patrick with the RT from BC, if you get this by chance, the place is called Speedline Auto Sales at www.speedline.ebfast.com First time attempting a url link in here, hold the flames!!!!!!

235 Stewardson Way, New Westminister
Wondering if you have heard of this place?? Certainly not asking you to go out of your way, hoping you may have checked out a fellow snake in your area!!!
Looking forward to some input, this thing has been around for a month or so, also unusual.........
Thanks gang,
Ryan

Going all the way to BC to get a car seems a little excessive when you live in Ontario. It better be one heck of a deal to bring in a car sight unseen. Their are plenty of cars available right here in Ontario. Depending on what your price range is and year you are looking for anyone from the Ontario VCA would gladly help you locate a car. Just keep visting www.autotrader.ca . Plus their are plenty of cars not in their. Here locally in Guelph, Ontario their are 2 for sale a 2001 Yellow GTS for sale with Less that 600 KMS on it for a steal of a price and a 1999 GTS ACR with a Venom 500 kit Silver with blue stripes.

While asking here (on a website) if the not being web-centric is a fault you will generally hear that the web is essential to any modern business, however many businesses, after investing thousands of dollars, have decided that the return is just not there.

Don't blow off the dealership because they deal in a local marketplace. Maybe they have a great deal on the car, but you will not know until you stop by and see the car in person.

Many dealerships make so little money on selling cars, that they depend on selling service on the cars after the sale. Since you are thousands of miles away they don't expect to see you ever again after you take delivery.
Support your local dealer if you can. You will be glad they are there if you ever have the need to go back to them for service or warranty work
