BestOffer.com Partners with Automotive Leaders to Build Better Way to Buy or Sell a Used Car
Start-Up Works with Kelley Blue Book, California DMV, Progressive Insurance
And Others to Create Complete Solution for Used Car Buyers and Sellers
SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 23 -- BestOffer.com, the better way to
buy or sell a used car, has partnered with leading service providers in the
automotive industry to take the pain out of buying and selling used cars.
Among those helping to build BestOffer.com's complete solution for used car
buyers and sellers are Kelley Blue Book, the California Department of Motor
Vehicles, and Progressive Auto Insurance.
"We have built partnerships with automotive industry experts to bring
extensive information and quality services to our customers," said CEO Pratap
Mukherjee. "These partners help us deliver an end-to-end solution for both
buyers and sellers of used cars -- all of the services of a used car dealer
and more, without any of the hassles."
BestOffer.com provides a complete solution for buyers and sellers of used
cars, combining online technology with off-line automotive expertise, quality
assurance, and friendly customer service. A better way to buy or sell a used
car, BestOffer.com features a unique online auction marketplace, unbiased
vehicle inspections, convenient test-drives, comprehensive research and
information tools, and assistance in securing financing, insurance, and
after-market warranties.
BestOffer.com has partnered with Kelley Blue Book, Intellichoice, CarFax,
and the California DMV to provide more information on each and every car than
anyone else -- online or off-line. Unbiased data, including information on
pricing, vehicle makes, and models, from Kelley Blue Book and Intellichoice
help sellers set their price and help buyers select and evaluate cars. In
addition to an unbiased 108-point inspection report, BestOffer.com also does
an extensive background check using CarFax and the California DMV to look for
such items as manufacturer buybacks (lemons), odometer rollbacks, salvage
titles, even outstanding registration fees.
BestOffer.com also helps consumers finalize the used car transaction.
"Many people are not aware that you can get financing and warranties for
person-to-person car sales," says CEO Mukherjee. "To help make the process
easier, we link our customers to Warranty Gold for after-market warranties and
Creditland for great deals on used car loans."
Additionally, BestOffer.com partners with Progressive Insurance and
Quicken Insurance to provide consumers with the tools and information they
need to make smart insurance decisions. Buyers can get instant, personalized
quotes and can compare rates from over 50 top-rated companies and even
purchase insurance online.
To complete the final transaction and offer additional peace of mind,
BestOffer.com offers a direct link to VehicleEscrow.com, an Internet escrow
service provider.
BestOffer.com is launching itself in the San Francisco Bay Area today with
"Pain Free Parking Day". Just as BestOffer.com takes the pain out of buying
or selling a used car, on Pain Free Parking Day, BestOffer.com is taking the
pain out of parking in San Francisco for more than 10,000 drivers.
To help celebrate the launch, buyers or sellers registering with
BestOffer.com before Sunday, February 27, 2000 will receive a $50 credit off
BestOffer.com's fees.
Today's launch event follows BestOffer.com's "Free for All" preview,
during which they have inspected more than 1,000 vehicles, building an
impressive inventory while drawing rave reviews from both buyers and sellers.
After establishing itself as the market leader in the San Francisco Bay Area
during the first quarter of 2000, BestOffer.com will expand throughout the
year 2000 to major metropolitan areas nationwide.
