Would This Work Locally?

An idea came to me in a dream, (just kidding). It came to me when I was searching Google Keyword Tool to see other local auto dealers searches. I entered a big local auto dealer like Wendle Ford and I saw that they got about 880 local searches a month. Then I went to Go Daddy to see if wendleford.com was taken. I knew it would be and it was, that’s their site. But wendleford.net was not taken. Plus the competition for Wendle ford was very low so it would be simple to get page one ranking on Google. I though I could write some content about Wendle Ford and let people know they could browse some of their inventory at Spokanecars.org.

My question is, is this something others have done or am I out of line using their name in a review site and taking some of their traffic? It could be done with most larger dealers in Spokane that get some good traffic.

Your thoughts please,

This may be a little off topic, but another twist you can put on selling listings to auto dealers is to buy a 30 minute time slot on your local public access channel.. You can buy each airing in most areas for $100 bucks or less, then you sell listings to auto dealers, so they can put up pictures and list price of their cars, and you can also sell listings to regular people that are trying to sell their cars... You could sell listings to all the used car dealers in your town.. You could do that once or twice a month and make pretty good money.
