DoaLease.com and ThaList.com Partner to Capitalize on the Growth of Used
Car Leasing.
CINCINNATI--April 21, 2005--Automobile Consumer Services,
Inc. (ACS), the leader in online auto leasing, announced a new partnership
with www.ThaList.com, a network of Highline, Classic, and Specialty
Automobile dealers. The relationship will enable dealer members of ThaList
to use ACS's www.DoaLease.com service to offer leasing to their customers.
"Offering a leasing product to our dealers enhances the value of their
membership," says Bill Hodges, president of ThaList. Currently, dealer
members of ThaList request quotes for vehicles they are considering taking
as trade-ins, search for vehicles their customers want to buy, post their
wholesale and retail inventory, and participate in weekly auctions.
Members also have access to other services such as vehicle history
reports, vehicle inspection reports, and quotes for auto transport, all of
which qualify for discount pricing.
"DoALease.com is an excellent benefit service to offer ThaList dealer
members who are finding that more of their customers want to lease their
vehicles." says Larry Lovejoy, COO of ACS. "By offering leasing to their
customers through DoALease.com, ThaList dealers will be able to market
their vehicle inventories more effectively."
DoaLease.com is a leasing service that is available to dealers only. It
provides instant comparative lease quotes and the option to submit a
customer's credit application online. ACS executes the lease paperwork,
thereby leaving the dealer with more time to serve their customers. A key
component of the partnership will be a training and orientation program to
help ThaList dealers better understand leasing and the DoALease.com
process.
