Teams with CarsDirect.Com to Offer New Truck Sales
Corte Madera,
CA - January 17, 2000 - PickupTruck.Com, the online community
for pickup truck enthusiasts, is launching a service to provide
its visitors the ability to configure and purchase new pickup
trucks directly over the Internet in conjunction with CarsDirect.com,
the leading automotive e-tailer.
PickupTruck.Com
already has extensive research information and community services
that assist visitors in their purchase decision. Through this
new relationship with CarsDirect.com, PickupTruck.Com community
members will now be able to order, finance and arrange for delivery
of a new truck over the Web, without going through a dealer referral
network. PickupTruck.com community members will be able to enjoy
the great prices, convenience and no-pressure environment that
are hallmarks of the CarsDirect.com customer experience.
"We are extremely
excited about this relationship with CarsDirect.com," said Mike
Levine, founder and president of PickupTruck.Com. "Our mission
is to provide our community the best sources for everything related
to pickup trucks. Purchasing a pickup truck is a very important
decision, and CarsDirect.com ranks highest of all the car buying
web sites. We look forward to providing this service to our community."
"We have
greatly reduced the time it takes to shop for and buy a new vehicle,
and we continually seek new ways to make the buying experience
as enjoyable and hassle-free as possible," said Ari Wasserman,
vice president of business development at CarsDirect.com. "Our
new relationship with PickupTruck.com extends our reach and provides
consumers a new, easy way to acquire the truck of their dreams."
This is a
unique "co-branding" relationship between PickupTruck.Com and
CarsDirect.com. Buyers will research and configure their vehicles
on the PickupTruck.Com site, then automatically move to the CarsDirect.com
site to complete the purchase. According to PickupTruck.Com, the
service is currently available.
