IRVINE, Calif., Feb. 27, 2004 -- Automotive.com (http://www.automotive.com/), the premier new and used car research and buying site for consumers, recently unveiled an enhanced website that features over 2 million used car listings and a classified section for consumers to sell their used cars.

Used car sellers have something to be excited about, "To kick off our new classified launch we're allowing consumers to try the service for free," said Jason Phillips, vice president of Automotive.com. "Our used car classifieds offer the used car seller the opportunity to upload multiple photos, write their own description, and be contacted directly by potential buyers by email or phone."

Automotive.com understands the importance of well-informed consumers when selling or buying a used car which is why they offer free information and tools to assist both sides of the transaction, "By providing stock photos, reviews, vehicle specifications, and up-to-date vehicle valuation tools we take the work out of listing your used car for sale online." said Phillips.

Consumers aren't the only used car sellers taking advantage of the millions of monthly visitors to Automotive.com, "We have significant interest from franchised and independent car dealerships looking to get more exposure to their used car inventory." said Phillips. "There's a tremendous opportunity for the used car dealer to list their entire inventory on the Internet at a reduced cost versus traditional print media." The Internet gives them the ability to expand their geographic reach to cover the U.S. and not just their local market.

For a limited time, Automotive.com is offering Free Used Car listings for 30 days, all ads include standard vehicle specification information, a personalized description, contact information, and the ability to upload multiple unique photos or use a stock photo.
