negatives
car not cars most car searches are plural so carshq would be better
.net so the .com benefits from any development in any tld but .com
hq as used is a postfix only postfix I personally like is net
whatevernet.com is a decent postfix
automotive industry is a huge mega billion industry, but there's no natural market for it, so it's a potential development play but no one will do that in .net
now if you can find any auto dealer with car(s) HQ or headquarters in their business name who knows
bottom line .com is king and HQ in .net is a weak postfix
While the name is not 'worthless' it could sell, but I don't see it even hitting low xxxx
most likely a low to mid xxx if it even sells
I wouldn't put much into developing it and it dropped, so that means whoever had it didn't even want to keep putting reg fees on it
yeah it's 'short', and HQ is a know abbreviation, but I don't see a big market for it
not worthless, but a tough sell and nothing to hold thinking it can be developed or an end user will break out xxxx for it
maybe the .com owner might want it as a protective registration if they think the .com is worth keeping
carshq.com has nice development to show what you can do, but that's the best name
carshq is the clear A+ for the term
it's still a week postfix IMO, but I've seen way worse
so low to mid xxx
good luck
