iMotors Delivery Center Opens In Indianapolis; The First DMV Licensed Online Seller Of Certified Used Cars Will Raise Expectations In Used Car Quality For Indiana Consumers

    INDIANAPOLIS--Nov. 13, 2000--iMotors, the nation's first online direct seller of certified used cars and winner in the Best Automobile Web Site category of the 2000 WebAwards, announced today the opening of a new Delivery Center at 7122 North Woodland Drive, Building 121. The new location allows iMotors to serve consumers living within one of the most auto-savvy regions of the nation. The new Indianapolis Delivery Center is the final stop on the consumer's car buying adventure, where they will inspect their vehicles, take test drives and complete paperwork.
    With iMotors, consumers can either select from specials on top makes and models featured each week, or custom order a vehicle by specifying the make, model, year, mileage, options and color of the used car they want. iMotors then locates, buys, tests, and certifies the car, delivering it backed by a 7-day/700-mile money-back guarantee and a 3-month/3,000-mile warranty.
    The Indianapolis location is the closest iMotors Delivery Center to the iMotors factory near Cincinnati, where iMotors employs the latest techniques and technology to recondition and certify 1-5 year-old used vehicles. Last month state-elected and nominated officials from Indiana's Office of the Attorney General and Department of Motor Vehicles toured the 190,000 square foot facility and got a first hand look at iMotors industry leading 269-point inspection process that remakes a regular used car into a iMotors' certified used car.
    "Opening the Indianapolis Delivery Center marks an important step in iMotors growth," said Rob Erlichman, iMotors VP of Marketing. "We are very excited to deliver to the drivers in America's racing capital the highest standard of quality they can come to expect in 1-5 year old used vehicles."
    iMotors now adds Indianapolis to a long list of iMotors' markets across the countries, which include New York City, Cincinnati, Atlanta, Miami, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, Sacramento, San Jose, Los Angeles, Orange County, CA, and San Diego.

- iMotors delivers the car to the customer at the nearest licensed iMotors Delivery Center.
