StoneAge.com Launches AutoTurnDowns.com, a Sub Prime Financing Solution For Car Dealers

                    First Online Automotive Site to Offer
                    This Innovative Service to Car Dealers

    TROY, Mich., Jan. 25 StoneAge.com, a leader in the online
car buying segment, launched an innovative new service that helps Car Dealers
secure financing for sub-prime consumers.  The service, AutoTurnDowns.com
(http://www.autoturndowns.com ) is the first sub-prime financing alternative
offered by any online automotive company.
    "The dealer response to AutoTurnDowns.com has been overwhelmingly
positive," Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Mark Campbell, said today.
"Of the 450 dealers enrolled in the program, 200 enrolled in the last 30 days.
One-fifth of all deals are lost because people can't get financed.  We
restructure the financing and convert the lost deal into a financed buyer.
Our approval rate is currently thirty-percent, which is one of the reasons
this program is so successful."
    StoneAge.com is approved to operate as a sales and finance company in 38
states with mid-year expansion plans to 50 states.  A staff of credit analysts
and finance managers, specializing in sub-prime financing, review all
AutoTurnDowns.com credit applications.  By focusing on the tough, sub-prime
deals, StoneAge.com frees-up the dealer to close the standard deals.  If
approved, AutoTurnDowns.com applications are funded within 72-hours of
delivery, usually within 48-hours.  According to Bud LaCombe, chief operating
officer of StoneAge.com,  "By restructuring the deal, a typical dealer will
see 4 to 5 more transactions a month and potentially generate an additional
$120,000 a year."  LaCombe anticipates enrollment in AutoTurnDowns.com to
exceed 2,000 by the end of the year.
