Russel Automotive Launches New Website and Announces Opening of Their New 34,000 Square Foot Toyota Showroom

ENDICOTT CITY, Md., March 7 -- The Russel Automotive Group, a privately held automotive company that currently owns and operates five car dealerships and seven manufacturer brands, in Baltimore, MD, announced today the launch of their new web site, and finalized the date for the Grand opening of their new 34,000 square foot Toyota showroom!

Russel's creed is simple. "We're changing the way you buy cars; one family at a time", states Melanie Russel, of Russel BMW. "We realize the needs of our customers, particularly their needs for convenience, selection, shopping alternatives and personalized service."

"In launching our new website (http://www.rcars.com/), consumers will have all their automotive shopping needs satisfied," states Andy Seidenman, the dealership's Marketing director. "Russel Automotive anticipates tremendous success with our new system. In addition to the ability to provide customers ease of navigation on our site, we will now have the ability to manage, market and sell our vehicle inventory faster than ever before."

Additionally, the system will include a way consumers can begin their price negotiation without physically coming to the dealership. "We need to make it easy for consumers," further explains Seidenman. "We will provide a way for consumers to save time and energy by initiating an offer electronically with us while simultaneously protecting their identity until they are ready to complete the transaction. In our partnership with the XI Group and Auto Bid Systems, we will be moving beyond our traditional way of doing business and creating a unique advertising and e-Commerce environment that assists us in finding customers, and helps them to complete their transaction before the buyer ever enters the showroom -- all by using our inventory and leveraging our web site. Customers are invited to our web site, to negotiate and lock in their deal on any vehicle we have in our inventory. We believe this new service offering can provide the customer real value, and improve many inefficiencies."

Wade Sterry, General Manager of Russel Toyota is convinced their customers will enjoy an entirely new shopping experience. "We are encouraged about our new beginning, and our history of providing the highest level of service will not waver. I am openly inviting everyone to shop us. You will be glad you did!"
