Las Vegas, NV-November 9, 1998 -
Autobytel.com, the premiere online car buying program, and Performance West Group, creators of high-performance vehicles, today announced an agreement that makes Autobytel.com the exclusive car-buying program for Performance West vehicles. The popular Shelby S.P. 360 Durango, co-developed by the legendary Carroll Shelby, and the Chevrolet Searing Silverado will soon be available to Internet consumers exclusively via Autobytel.com.
"Performance West, along with Carroll Shelby, has a long and revered history in the automotive industry," said Mark Lorimer, President and CEO of Autobytel.com. "Autobytel.com, which represents the new wave in commerce, is proud to partner with a company steeped in such tradition. This partnership is emblematic of the changes happening in the automotive industry. We look forward to developing more relationships that combine traditional industry names with Autobytel.com."
The Vista, CA-based Performance West, winner of this week's Popular Mechanics Automobile Editor's Choice Award at the 33rd SEMA Show for the Chevrolet Searing Silverado, works closely with manufacturers to design production vehicles featuring the latest aftermarket products, trends and technology.
"Our customers expect and demand the best performance-that's why we choose Autobytel.com for our online partner," said Larry Weiner, Performance West Group's Executive Vice President. "This is the first time automotive enthusiasts will be able to quickly and easily shop for high-performance vehicles from the convenience of their home or office. Purchasing cutting-edge vehicles through an Autobytel.com dealer is not only going to save our customers time, but it will also eliminate the haggling associated with traditional car buying."
Autobytel.com promises consumers will receive a low, no-haggle price quote on any make or model vehicle they choose within 24 hours of submitting a purchase request. Autobytel.com works closely with its Accredited Dealer Network to help the dealers lower their overall costs, resulting in savings that can be passed on to the consumer.
Autobytel.com will be the only online source for in-depth information on Performance West's vehicles. Consumers will be able to view Performance West's high-profile vehicles, review specifications and pricing and then submit a purchase request for the vehicle. The request will then be routed to the nearest Autobytel.com Accredited Dealer selling the selected Performance West vehicle.
"We are pleased to have this opportunity to bring exciting collectible vehicles to our consumer," said Anne Benvenuto, Senior Vice President, Marketing, Autobytel.com. "Being chosen as the exclusive online service to distribute these award-winning vehicles is an honor and we look forward to a long marketing partnership with Performance West Group." |
