DoaLease.com and ThaList.com Partner to Capitalize on the Growth of Used Car Leasing

Apr 21, 2005

CINCINNATI-April 21, 2005 --Automobile Consumer Services, Inc. (ACS), the leader in online auto leasing, announced a new partnership with ThaList.com, a network of Highline, Classic, and Specialty Automobile dealers. The relationship will enable dealer members of ThaList to use ACS's www.DoaLease.com service to offer leasing to their customers.

"Offering a leasing product to our dealers enhances the value of their membership," says Bill Hodges, president of ThaList. Currently, dealer members of ThaList request quotes for vehicles they are considering taking as trade-ins, search for vehicles their customers want to buy, post their wholesale and retail inventory, and participate in weekly auctions. Members also have access to other services such as vehicle history reports, vehicle inspection reports, and quotes for auto transport, all of which qualify for discount pricing.

"DoALease.com is an excellent benefit service to offer ThaList dealer members who are finding that more of their customers want to lease their vehicles." says Larry Lovejoy, COO of ACS. "By offering leasing to their customers through DoALease.com, ThaList dealers will be able to market their vehicle inventories more effectively."

DoaLease.com is a leasing service that is available to dealers only. It provides instant comparative lease quotes and the option to submit a customer's credit application online. ACS executes the lease paperwork, thereby leaving the dealer with more time to serve their customers. A key component of the partnership will be a training and orientation program to help ThaList dealers better understand leasing and the DoALease.com process.
