Auto Trader Opens An Exclusive Buying Center Location In Wilmington North Carolina

Online, November 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - The Auto Trader Buying Center Program offers North and South Carolina car shoppers a no-haggle way to get a value on their car, which they can turn into guaranteed cash or use toward down payment on a newer car.

Here's how it works:
• An auto seller accesses the Buying Center at autotraderbuyingcenter.com or at the Buying Center kiosk in the Auto Trader Showroom located at 228 South College Road, Wilmington North Carolina.
• The seller inputs information about the vehicle, including the make and model, the model year, major factory-installed options, other upgrades and maintenance information and details about the condition, including any major repairs or accident damage.
• The tool will calculate a price based on historical transaction data for hundreds of thousands of vehicles and up-to-the-minute supply and demand information and produce a printable purchase offer.
• The seller can take that purchase offer to Auto Trader Buying Center at 228 South College Road, Wilmington North Carolina Monday through Friday 9am - 8pm and Saturday 9am - 7pm.
• The Auto Trader Buying Center representative will inspect the car to confirm that it matches the description provided by the seller and then write the seller a check for that amount.
• The seller can use the funds towards the purchase of their next vehicle or simply walk away with a check.

Getting a fair and accurate trade-in value is a critical first step for any car shopper. The Auto Trader Buying Center Program provides consumers with the type of information needed before they visit a dealership.

"Auto Trader is always looking for new ways to connect car buyers and car sellers," said Auto Trader President and CEO Chip Perry. "The Auto Trader Buying Center does just that and we're excited about opening our newest Exclusive Auto Trader Buying Center location right here in Wilmington North Carolina."
