Buy a new car on eBay?
So, I’m sure a lot of you know that you can buy cars on eBay, but most of the cars are used. Well now General Motors is going to allow you to buy new cars through eBay. You will be able to purchase Chevrolets, Buicks, GMCs, or Pontiacs before they even set foot in the dealership. The eBay program for GM will be initially only available in California, but soon enough GM hopes to expand that to all states. This is a great way for GM to differentiate themselves from other automotive companies.
On another note, some Chrysler dealerships that were closed a few months ago may have an opportunity to re-open. Chrysler plans to open 140 new dealerships that will sell Chrysler, Dodge, and Jeep cars. Though many dealerships may not be interested, since they lost their car franchises and some still haven’t been paid for rebates that they needed to sell their last vehicles. So, even though it might sound good to some of the 789 closed dealerships, not all will be intersted in re-opening with Chrysler.
