Payless Car Sales Reengineering Franchise Dealer Program for New Economy

TULSA, OK, Jul 07 (MARKET WIRE) --
In response to broad changes in the U.S. auto industry, Payless Car Sales
- America's Used Car Company has reengineered its franchise program to
address new economic challenges facing automobile dealers. The redesigned
Payless Car Sales Franchise Program incorporates a number of new services
and resources for participating dealers, including a pre-owned
certification program, centralized financing options, and cooperative
branding, sales and marketing resources.

"We've developed a program that helps dealers manage some of the most
difficult economic challenges they now face, and that gives them access to
valuable marketing tools and resources to grow their businesses," said
Kevin Copeland, Director of Franchise Development for Payless Car Sales.

Highlights of the new franchise program include:

-- A "Payless Certified Pre-Owned Program" which includes standard
inspection, vehicle history report, and limited warranty;
-- A centralized finance operation which will provide quick approvals and
funding;
-- Payless Car Rental Co-Branding Programs for dealership rental
operations;
-- National service and parts networks;
-- Private-labeled and re-insured Finance and Insurance products;
-- Quarterly national promotion packages;
-- Customized Internet marketing and lead generation programs; and
-- Operations training, support and consulting resources.

The program also gives dealers the ability to co-brand their business
by including their name with the Payless brand. "It's important to many
existing and former new car dealers that they maintain their local
identity, so we've made it possible for them to do so while utilizing the
Payless brand to identify themselves with other quality dealers in a
unique national used car franchise system," added Copeland.

The new franchise program is the next step in the Payless mission to build
the largest, nationally recognized and trusted "quality pre-owned" vehicle
sales franchise system in the United States. According to Copeland, that
means providing Payless Franchise Dealers with the superior service and
support they need to grow their dealership, and to continue delivering
like-new vehicles at used car prices, quality products and services, and
peace of mind in a comfortable, stress-free environment.
