FrontRowCars.com Brings Leasing to the Used Car Online Marketplace
Cincinnati, April 22, 2003 - Automobile Consumer Services, Inc. (ACS), an innovator in online, direct-to-consumer auto leasing, has launched frontrowcars.com. The website is an exclusive online marketplace for late-model, used vehicles that are available for purchase, finance or lease.
There are a number of websites out there selling used cars, but this site distinguishes itself in its all-in-one-package approach to leasing. "This is a tremendous new opportunity for consumers seeking to lease a late-model vehicle," says Tarry Shebesta, president of ACS. "Without leaving their home or office, individuals can research price, options, and availability of pre-owned cars and arrange a competitively priced lease designed to fit their needs."
The process begins when private owners, dealers, and even lenders with cars coming-off-lease are invited to offer their vehicles for sale through FrontRowCars.com. There is no charge for listing vehicles and all of the sale information, including pictures, can be quickly entered through the website.
Shoppers visiting the site are immediately greeted with a number of recent listings and their specific lease or financing payments if they were to select that vehicle. Consumers with a specific car in mind can quickly search available "inventory" with multiple search options such as price range, mileage, year and distance from their location.
After a vehicle's details have been reviewed and a selection made, the consumer has a number of options. They may choose to contact the seller directly and arrange a deal. They may also choose to explore the costs of financing or leasing directly from the website. The consumer can apply the details of a particular car to an instant quote system that will calculate actual finance or lease payments. The specifics of each offer are provided for comparison.
When a shopper finds an appealing finance or lease deal on FrontRowCars.com, they can initiate the process by applying for credit online. Once credit is approved, ACS facilitates the entire transaction.
"Many visitors to the site do choose the lease option," notes Shebesta. "When customers realize how much lower lease payments are, they find the decision to lease an easy one. A luxury vehicle lease payment can be hundreds of dollars less a month than a comparable loan payment."
