Bargain Network Announces Dealership Program at Niada


Dealers Can List Cars At No Charge Gaining Access to 100,000 New Car Buyers Each Month


Santa Barbara, California, June 10, 2003 — Bargain Network, Inc., a specialist in subscription-based consumer pricing information, announced today at The National Independent Auto Dealers Association's Annual Convention & Expo in Las Vegas, that it will expand its car listings to include independent car dealer inventories, on its highly trafficked web site. Unlike other car sites, Bargain Network's listings are free for the dealers and easy to set up. Dealers, including Buy-Here-Pay-Here dealers, now have access to a large base of auto shoppers by virtue of Bargain Network's 2.5 million web site visitors per month and its unique membership format.

Bargain Network is one of the most efficient car purchasing sites in the industry and maintains a subscriber-base of highly motivated and well-qualified car buyers. The company's new program allows dealers to simply import their data onto Bargain Network's web site, www.bargain.com, immediately providing members direct access to inventory. Additional offerings include links to participating dealer's web sites or any other destination the dealer chooses; the posting of contact information for dealers that are offline; and trained Bargain Network customer representatives familiar with each dealer's listed inventory and information.

Bargain Network has more than 300,000 active members and attracts an additional 100,000 new members per month by running more than 20,000 monthly radio, magazine, newspaper and Internet ads as well as advertising in more than 200 TV markets across the country. The Bargain Network web site ranks among Nielsen//NetRatings top 200 for its high traffic volume.

Bargain Network offers individualized, personal, one-on-one service. The company's customer service and sales representatives advise more than 400,000 consumers monthly via telephone—many of whom are interested in purchasing a car—on topics ranging from auto financing to finding the best deal.

Tim Chin, Vice President of Bargain's Autos Business Unit said, "With all the features Bargain Network offers—free for dealers, highly motivated buyers, and comprehensive, personalized member services during the car purchasing experience—we can greatly accelerate the car buying process while lowering the cost for independent dealers," added Chin.
