Does that mean the Carsabi idea is a failure?

more likely that the Carsabi team is awesome.

It means it wasn't as much of a financial success (from a business standpoint) as its founders hoped, and they have departed for greener pastures.

Carsabi is/was a great site, and well designed and well coded, but its revenue model was lacking.

So, yes.

Is there any potential sustainable business in the area Carsabi tried to tackle? I personally feel lots of pain points there but I guess it might be too hard for Carsabi to solve alone? Relatively, it might be easier or more tangible by just joining Facebook and get a quick good exit.

I know someone who may be interested in purchasing the IP assuming it is for sale. Email me in my profile if you guys want his name and contact info.

I'm interested in buying carsabi as well as teaming up with developers. It needs a different model to make money and I know of a great one which I already developed. Contact me if you want to tackle the used car market.
