TrueCar Continues to Revolutionize the Car Buying Experience with the Launch of the New TrueCar+

SANTA MONICA, Calif., July 17, 2024 -- TrueCar, Inc. , the most trusted digital automotive marketplace, today proudly announces the launch of the next evolution of TrueCar+ (www.truecar.com/plus), which now empowers consumers – for the first time – to purchase from over 3,200 new, used, and certified pre-owned vehicles from start to finish completely online.

Whereas other online car shopping platforms are limited to used vehicles only, do not include key purchasing steps, or are exclusive to a single brand, TrueCar+ offers a seamless buying solution that combines TrueCar's comprehensive vehicle data, trusted pricing information, and new and used car inventory from over eleven different brands with a full end-to-end purchasing process that includes trade-in, financing, and delivery.

TrueCar+ advances the company's mission to eliminate the traditional complexities and uncertainties associated with buying a car, providing consumers with a more informed and straightforward journey from search to a completely online purchase.

True to our business model, we partner directly with dealers and bring value to their operations by empowering them to leverage our marketplace to effectively extend their sales efforts 24/7, streamline their workflow, and grow their target market from a constrained local focus to a nationwide consumer base.

1. Shop New, Used, and Certified Pre-Owned Inventory: Car buyers are able to shop an extensive inventory of new and pre-owned vehicles. Whether searching for a brand-new model or a reliable used car, buyers can explore a wide range of options tailored to their needs and preferences. TrueCar plans to expand TrueCar+ inventory through the strategic addition of more dealerships across the country over the next 12 months.
2. Transparent Pricing: With TrueCar+, consumers can get firm upfront price offers on any vehicle in stock. This transparency extends to all aspects of the car buying process, including financing options and trade-in values, ensuring that consumers can make informed decisions with confidence.
3. Convenient Online Financing: TrueCar+ enables dealers to offer a variety of online financing solutions directly through its platform, allowing buyers to compare rates, get pre-approved, and secure competitive loans without leaving the comfort of their homes. This eliminates the need for multiple dealership visits and streamlines the buying process.
4. Trade-In Options: TrueCar+ simplifies the trade-in process by providing guaranteed instant trade-in values and offers without the need for time-consuming in-person vehicle inspections. Consumers can quickly and easily understand the value of their current vehicle and apply it towards their new purchase, making it an easy and seamless experience. Consumers can arrange pick-up of their trade-in online through TrueCar+.
5. Seamless Home Delivery: TrueCar+ features a home delivery service, enabling consumers to complete the entire purchase process online and have their vehicle delivered directly to their doorstep. Used vehicles are available for delivery throughout the contiguous United States, excluding Massachusetts and New York. Initially, new vehicles will be available for delivery only in the San Francisco Bay Area. We expect the delivery area to rapidly expand to cover all of California.
6. Accessories, Services, and Customer Support: TrueCar+ enables the dealer to offer an extensive online selection of compatible accessories, additional warranties, maintenance packages, and protection products that consumers can add on during the online checkout process. In addition, TrueCar+ car shoppers benefit from dedicated customer service support, resulting in a smoother, more worry-free car buying and ownership experience.

"TrueCar's mission is to make the car buying process as convenient and transparent as possible. With the launch of TrueCar+, we are excited to bring a new level of ease, confidence, and value to car buyers," said Jantoon Reigersman, CEO of TrueCar. "Our mission is to empower consumers with the tools and information they need to make confident car buying decisions. This iteration of TrueCar+ represents a major milestone in achieving this goal by empowering people to buy a car fully online from the comfort of their home or wherever they may be."
