VirtualCarBuyer.com -- A Revolutionary Car Buying Experience Begins
| Source: Auto Bid Systems, Inc.
BALTIMORE, MD--(Marketwire - June 28, 2007) - www.VirtualCarBuyer.com, a new regional
automotive portal that went live today, offers car buyers in the
Maryland/DC/VA areas a new way to negotiate and lock in a price on the car
or truck they want. It's the closest thing yet to actually "buying" a car
on-line. And for consumers it's free and anonymous -- so for consumers who
prefer not to deal with a salesperson -- you now have a choice. In just a
few steps, visitors to the site can get a great price on the exact vehicle
they want -- and the dealer will guarantee it.
Recent car buyers like Dave and Paula Treherne wish this service existed
with all the past vehicles they've purchased. "The process was easy and it
was fast. The best part was the time we saved by negotiating the price
on-line -- and avoiding the whole 'hanging around the dealership' thing,"
Dave expressed.
VirtualCarBuyer.com, a destination site powered by Auto Bid Systems,
provides a unique way for auto retailers to advertise their vehicles
on-line and provides consumers a way to find and negotiate the price for
the vehicle they want -- from the luxury of their home or office.
Participating dealers like Tischer BMW understand their customers are
looking for ways to save time and money. And they know that some buyers
just don't like the pressure of direct sales when they visit a dealership.
"Many (of our customers) have told us they'd like to by-pass the 'showroom
experience' and engage on-line with us," explains Jay Sponseller, General
Manager for Tischer BMW. Internet Manager, Rick Richards of Herb Gordon
Mercedes-Benz mentions, "We are committed to creating ways to deliver real
benefits to our customers -- we want them to know that we value their time,
their money and their right to shop privately and from the convenience of
their own home. This is a great way to offer them those benefits. This
helps us stay very competitive in our pricing."
"We are beginning to see the evolution of how consumers and dealers will
interact and utilize the Internet. We're committed to offer both dealers
and consumers a better ways to transact -- when we do, everyone wins,"
states Glen Gulyas, COO for Auto Bid Systems, Inc. "Consumers save time
and hassle... dealers save money and offer a free, easy, and convenient
service for the consumer."
