​Found a weird opportunity in the used car market – here’s a SaaS idea that could hit $1M ARR in 12 months

Quick background: I’ve been studying the car dealership market and found something interesting.

The problem: – 65% of test drives end with “I’ll think about it” – Dealers are too busy to follow up properly – These leads go cold and buy elsewhere – Each lost sale = $2-3k in lost profit

The solution: A fully automated email follow-up system for car dealers that: – Triggers after each test drive – Sends psychology-based email sequences – Integrates with dealer CRM – Runs 100% on autopilot

I’ve already: – Created 5 different email sequences – Built the sales funnel – Priced it at $997/month – Got 3 dealerships interested

The numbers: – 36,000+ dealerships in Germany alone – Each dealer loses 4-7 sales/month from poor follow-up – System pays for itself with just 1 extra sale – Potential: $1M+ ARR from just 85 dealers

Why it’s interesting: 1. No competition in this niche 2. Dealers have money 3. Clear ROI 4. Easy to prove value 5. Can start without building software (using Zapier/Make.com)

Questions: 1. Am I missing something obvious? 2. Would you build custom software or stick with no-code? 3. What’s the biggest risk you see?
