    Ah. I did not realize this would create a forum post.

    Since I’m here, I’m looking for:

    • Lowest cost to build a car dealership website
    • Are plug-in’s necessary?
    • Which plan should I choose?
    • Do I need a GoDaddy Domain?
    • How much should I expect to spend out of pocket?

    Thank you so much

    Hello –

    Welcome to WordPress.com. These are great questions.

    I would set this up on our Commerce Plan. It will give you the tools needed to market, track, and collect payments (or down payments). Plus you can schedule appointments and build in other functionality for your clients.

    This plan is designed to help small business grow.

    Notice that you will save 36% by paying annually versus by the month. It will also open up your access to our live chat support team.

    Yes, you want a domain. If you already have one through GoDaddy then you can use that here on this plan by editing the DNS records to point it to us. If you do not have a domain then you can register one as part of Commerce hosting plan.

    Domains are important because they amplify the built in SEO tools we have on WordPress.com. It will also help you build a recognizable brand and improve the professional feel of your project.

    Plugins are not necessary for every website but your use case will require some. This feature is available on the Commerce plan, so no worries there.

    Here are some additional pages to help you get started:
