Car Demon

Car Demon is the complete solution to run a car dealer's website without using a highly-specialized and often very expensive third-party platform.

This WordPress plugin lets you add a car dealership component to your classic WordPress blog/CMS, all without extra costs or having to contact a Web design company.

All the basic features can be achieved with the standard plugin features that range from basic car inventory management, to contact forms, price/car comparison tools, and specialized themes.

Of course you can use the available shortcodes and sidebar widgets to integrate the plugin in your own theme, but this might take some work to get setup properly, and a little bit of knowledge of how WordPress sites normally work.

Car Demon neatly integrates with the administration panel, from where, using a post-like interface, cars can be added to the inventory, complete with details about their specifications, prices, discounts, mileage, comfort level, safety standards, and more.

Image galleries can be added to each car listing, complete with a lightbox image viewer, a loan calculator, and a quick contact/inquiry form on all the pages.

Besides selling cars, the plugin can also be used by car services to manage appointments, list prices, offer service quotas, or display other type of information.

Car Demon can handle dealerships with multiple locations, affiliate programs, and ADFxml Lead integration.

Installation:

Unpack and upload it to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory.

Activate the plugin through the 'Plugins' menu in WordPress.
