FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Vancouver Company First in Canada to Negotiate New Car Prices Online
VANCOUVER, British Columbia – December 18, 2008 – Vancouver-based BestPriceExpress.ca (BPEX) today announced the successful completion of its beta test phase and have put their new e-commerce site into full production, providing members the ability to build any make and model new car online and have the purchase professionally negotiated at the lowest available price.
How it works is simple. Once the vehicle specifications are defined, a member of BPEX’s sourcing team is notified and goes to work for the consumer. The exact specs of the vehicle are taken to the market place, the car is located and the price is competitively negotiated on the consumer’s behalf. The result is a faster, smoother and more cost efficient car buying experience.
“For years dealers have depended on buyers not having time to effectively shop and compare vehicles. At BestPriceExpress.ca, we do the shopping for you. Our beta test, where hundreds of cars were sold to customers in locations ranging from Victoria to Edmonton, clearly proved that when dealers compete, the consumer wins,” said Randy Purcell, CEO at BPEX and founder of Top Producer Systems, the world’s #1 real estate software provider.
Best Price Express.ca charges a flat fee ranging from $95-$195 based on vehicle price range, and members typically save anywhere from $500 to $8,000 more than they would if they negotiated on their own. In addition, members sidestep the traditional hassle of running from dealer to dealer, spending hours in back and forth negotiations. For those concerned with the exclusive use of an online system, the company assigns a dedicated account manager to provide unlimited live support from its Richmond, B.C. call center, a service that can also be accessed by a toll-free number.
The service could not come at a better time according to Purcell, “Most buyers assume since the economy is down dealers will be easier to deal with, but we are seeing the exact opposite in the marketplace. Since dealers are selling fewer units, they must maximize the profit on every unit sold. Questionable add-on fees at dealerships are on the rise, with some charging as much as $1,495 in documentation fees alone. So while customers may be lured in by incentives, many give most of the money back in extra charges before they drive off the lot.”
BestPriceExpress.ca virtually eliminates surprise fees, so its members know the drive-away bottom-line before they put down the deposit. The company has a specific set of guidelines which dealers agree to follow as a condition of our repeat business. Best Price Express.ca then ensures an expedited delivery process, with members typically in and out of the dealership in under an hour, a third of the industry’s average wait time.
