Your NCDA staff and Board of Directors have been working for more than a year with the San Diego Union-Tribune to create San Diego DRIVES, an exciting new digital platform that will transform how you buy used cars from private parties and sell new and used vehicles to retail customers. This new platform, available only to NCDA members, will enable San Diego County’s new car dealers to capture a much larger percentage of private party vehicle acquisitions and make it effortless for consumers to search new and pre-owned vehicle inventories. And best of all, NCDA members can join the platform for FREE. There are no subscription fees, and dealers only pay a flat $300 for each vehicle purchased using the platform.
San Diego DRIVES will make it easy for private party owners to fill out a simple form and condition report from the comfort of their homes – on desktop or mobile – and within 24 hours select their winning bid from those submitted by participating new car dealers. After that, they decide when to drop off their car and receive the agreed-upon payment. It’s that simple.
Unlike other car-buying/selling sites, San Diego DRIVES allows car owners to place their vehicles in front of more than 100 dealers at one time. The site will also feature new and used car inventories from all San Diego County new car dealers, making the experience of shopping from home for a new or used car a simple and hassle-free task. Your inventory is automatically included unless you opt out (email Drives@SDUnionTribune.com to opt out).
San Diego DRIVES will be supported by a comprehensive marketing campaign consisting of TV, radio, digital and print advertising.
Sign up today and get ready to begin bidding when the site launches Monday, Nov. 29. Go to our website to download a deck that outlines how to get started. Look for more details coming your way over the next few weeks from us and the Union-Tribune.
