Top Dealer Marketing Companies Select “Lease It Now”SM for Car Lease Payment Advertising

SAN FRANCISCO--Automobile Consumer Services, Inc. (ACS), the leader in online auto leasing, announced at the National Automobile Dealers Associations (NADA) annual convention in San Francisco California, that leading online dealer marketing companies have implemented its Lease It NowSM technology to power lease payment advertising for vehicle listings on auctions and dealer websites.

Among the companies implementing the Lease It NowSM service are Auction123, CARBASE, CarTHINK, HomeNet and Liquid Motors. These companies are known for their industry innovation, expertise, and success in inventory management and online vehicle marketing, says Tarry Shebesta, President of ACS. Our Lease It NowSM service offers seamless integration and provides dealers with the latest technology in lease payment advertising.

HomeNets Inventory Online (IOL) currently markets over 2.5 million vehicles each day for more than 11,000 dealer locations nationwide, commented HomeNet CEO Jesse Biter. It is absolutely essential to our dealers that we continue to provide the most innovative marketing solutions available. Lease It NowSM is a very strategic fit within our suite of products and we are pleased to offer this unique service to our customers.

The Lease It NowSM service gives sellers who list their cars on online auctions, websites and other third-party classifieds, like AutoMart.com, the ability to quote competitive lease payments on demand through a banner button link.

After adding Lease It NowSM to our vehicle listings, weve seen an increase in leads and leasing business, claims Jerry Bates, Finance Director for Select Luxury Cars, in Marietta Georgia. Our customers now know we offer leasing as an option.

A simple link from a sellers listing creates a dynamic lease payment from data in the listing, ie. VIN, selling price and mileage. The link directs the buyer to a co-branded page where they can customize the lease terms, apply for credit online or contact the dealer for more information.

According to Research & Markets, over $2.8 Billion was spent on online automotive advertising in 2007. Lease It NowSM provides a cost effective way to offer competitive lease payments and gives the seller an advantage over other listings, notes Shebesta.

ACS pioneered online lease payment advertising in 2001 through its FrontRowCars.com website.
