---Automobile Consignment Gains Respect with National Brand---

Pensacola, FL, November 17, 1997— The car business is an old tradition—as old as cars themselves. Since the beginning of the century, car dealers have been as diverse and innovative as the cars they sold. Unfortunately, their methods have often been less than honest: deceptive sales techniques, profit gouging, and lack of service have become hallmarks of the industry. So customers, faced with no other option, turned to each other to buy and sell used cars.

But buying or selling a car privately is filled with its own pitfalls. The car seller has to take out ads, wait for calls from prospective buyers, show the car, negotiate prices, and deal with the tedious paperwork that accompanies the sale. A car buyer faces equally frustrating problems, such as finding potential buys, tracking down sellers, and traveling to each vehicle’s location. Buyers in the real estate market have long faced similar problems, but have been able to turn to trustworthy realtors who specialized in bringing buyers and sellers together. But there has been no such service in the used car industry. Until now.

AutoList Car Stores is building a nationally recognized brand name for used cars, in much the same way Century 21 grew into a trusted name in the real estate industry. Rather than simply offering cars for sale on a consignment basis, AutoList uses a service similar to MLS, the listing system used by Century 21 and other realtors. The AutoList System (ALS), used in conjunction with a toll free number (1-888-AUTOLIST / 1-888-288-6547), website (www.autolistcars.com), and nationwide member dealers, helps buyers and sellers come together on their own terms. Car buyers can come to AutoList with the certainty that they can expect the highest standards of service, an extensive selection, and complete honesty from knowledgeable sales professionals. Car sellers can rest assured that the experienced AutoList staff will handle as much of the selling process as desired, from cleaning, inspecting and listing the car to closing the final sale. Furthermore, AutoList offers full disclosure of all details of the sale, including price and dealer commission—services not usually offered by conventional consignment dealers.

AutoList is dedicated to customer service at a national level. Each member dealership is held to the highest standards—standards long absent from the used car industry. AutoList customers can conduct their business knowing that they can finally rely on their dealer. The used car industry has come a long way since the beginning of the century. AutoList is taking it into the next.
