Navidec's Automotive Division Announces Plans to Expand Affinity Group Licensing Agreements

    DENVER, April 5 -- Internet auto buying and business
solutions developer Navidec Inc. today announced plans to
dramatically expand the number of licensing agreements for the company's
successful network of auto buying and research web sites.  This growth will
enhance the company's well-established affinity group model that currently
includes licensing agreements with financial institutions, Internet portals
and the media.
    "While our competition pays third parties for vehicle leads and an
expanded Internet presence, Navidec proliferates the online automotive
marketplace through revenue-generating content agreements with respected third
parties," said Ralph Armijo, president and CEO of Navidec Inc.  "As a
technology company, we can quickly provide affinity groups with a leading auto
research and buying solution."
    In 1998, Navidec implemented its affinity licensing plan, providing online
auto research and buying solutions for third parties.  Using this strategy,
Navidec has become the auto content provider for Bank One, CBS.com,
Excite.com, Netscape.com, WebCrawler.com and Prodigy.
    In expanding this plan, Navidec intends to focus on additional affinity
groups such as credit unions, media groups, insurance companies and
organizations looking to provide auto-buying services to their employees and
clientele.  The company expects its strategy to fuel the continued growth of
the company's network of auto buying and research web sites.
    "Navidec's ability to provide a complete auto buying solution caters to
large organizations and portals that want to offer superior content and
functionality while keeping visitors within their sites," said Michael
Kranitz, Navidec's vice president of strategic development.
