GM Certified Used Vehicles National Inventory Goes Live on New eBay Motors CPO Showroom
DETROIT - GM Certified Used Vehicles, the industry's top-selling manufacturer-certified used vehicle brand*, announced today that its 60,000-plus-vehicle inventory from 3,900-plus U.S. dealers is now listed on eBay Motors (www.ebaymotors.com), the Internet's largest marketplace for buying and selling all things automotive.
GM Certified Used Vehicles (Chevrolet, Buick, GMC, Pontiac vehicles) and all other GM certified pre-owned brands (Cadillac, Saab, Saturn and HUMMER Certified Pre-Owned Vehicles) are now listing their national inventory in a classified listings format on the eBay Motors Certified Pre-Owned Showroom, a new hub designed to house manufacturer-certified used-vehicle inventory for franchise dealers. GM Certified Used Vehicles was the first manufacturer-certified brand to announce a commitment to list its entire national inventory in the eBay Motors CPO Showroom at no cost to dealers.
The CPO Showroom provides convenient access to certified GM inventory to more than 12 million unique eBay Motors visitors each month. eBay Motors is consistently ranked the No. 1 automotive Web site, with 32 percent of all automotive minutes on the Web spent on eBay Motors, according to Nielsen//NetRatings.
GM dealers benefit from increased exposure of their vehicle inventory and branding on eBay Motors, while car shoppers experience the wide selection and convenient online-shopping experience provided by eBay Motors. The CPO Showroom is accessible from the eBay Motors homepage as well as at http://pages.motors.ebay.com/buy/cpo. Certified GM inventory within a shopper's local area is included in general eBay Motors search results, making it convenient for consumers to find the right certified used vehicle.
Dealer inventory appears in the eBay Motors CPO Showroom as used-vehicle classified listings. GM dealers' certified-used inventory automatically uploads using GM-customized templates, and dealers interact with customers via existing customer relationship management (CRM) systems. Consumers can view vehicle images and information from dealers within their local area, look at pricing, view incentives, learn more about the benefits of factory certification, and contact a dealer for more information or to set up an appointment. Consumers can communicate with dealers directly and through the eBay Motors platform.
"The eBay Motors CPO Showroom gives shoppers convenient access to our national inventory - and further reinforces GM's commitment to interactive marketing," said Mark Mathews, director, GM Used Vehicle Activities. "With the launch of the CPO Showroom, GM now offers dealers and consumers the industry's most comprehensive used-vehicle online listings program, with listings on 300-plus leading automotive Web sites, including AutoTrader.com, Cars.com and AutoMercado.com, among others."
