HAMID NAMED VAUTO'S SENIOR DIRECTOR OF DIGITAL MARKETING SERVICES

Rafi Hamid, an award-winning Internet marketing executive and
e-commerce sales professional, has been named senior director of
digital marketing services at vAuto, a high-tech provider of used-car
inventory management systems for the nation's 70,000 franchised and
independent car dealers.

Hamid previously was director of eCommerce for the Napleton
Dealership Groups, where he was responsible for the organization's
Internet marketing, including branding, market analysis, brand
perception improvement and lead generation. Napleton's three
automotive groups have 27 dealership locations with 57 franchises in
five states.

Keith Jezek, vAuto's president and CEO, pointed out that Hamid is
considered to be one of the nation's foremost retail automotive
Internet marketing practitioners.

"It has become increasingly difficult for automotive dealerships
to realize their full used-car sales potential without Internet
marketing and process expertise," Jezek said. "Hamid's addition to our
leadership team will give vAuto clients an extraordinary competitive
advantage.

"He was responsible for the development of Napleton's successful
Internet marketing processes which were tremendously successful for
seven consecutive years on individual, dealership and enterprise
levels. He will be much sought after by our rapidly growing customer
group."

Featured in "The Master Series - Automotive eCommerce," a series
of documentaries on Internet best practices, Hamid is a recent winner
of the Association of Automotive Internet Sales Professionals (AAISP)
Digital Dealer "Hardest Working Internet Sales Professional" and AAISP
Professional Excellence awards.

Prior to his work at Napleton Dealership Groups, he served as
group director of e-commerce for the Bob Rohrman Automotive Group with
30 dealership locations and 40 franchises in two states.

Hamid is a graduate of the University of Karachi in Karachi,
Pakistan, and attended the MBA program at Keller Graduate School of
Management in Chicago. He is married and lives in Lombard, Illinois

Headquartered in the Chicago suburb of Oak Brook, Ill., vAuto
maintains a research and development center in Austin, Texas. The
company provides the auto industry's only "live, real time" analysis
of used-car markets with up-to-the-minute information about
