BestRide.com giving car buyers a $500 reward

BOSTON — The way BestRide.com sees it, car buying doesn't have to be a difficult experience.

It should be informative, easy and even rewarding.  BestRide.com is piloting a new program in Florida markets aimed at car buyers, the BestRide Buyer Rewards program.

Car buyers who search for a car on the website, save their search and then purchase that car from a participating dealer will receive a reward package worth $500.

“This program is a great way to reward users of BestRide.com while also showcasing all the wonderful dealers who advertise their inventory with us,” said Jim Lawyer, director of Automotive at BestRide.  “We are very excited to be able to offer this program in Florida, now, with the hope of expanding it further later this year.”

On the site, car buyers can save their searches, mark and follow vehicles they like as favorites and be alerted when the cars they’re looking for appear on the site or change in price. The site also features an engaging automotive blog with extensive car reviews, industry updates, buyer guides and safety recall information.

Additionally, BestRide is the only dealer-friendly automotive marketplace on the web. BestRide does not permit pay-to-play ranking systems, conquest advertising, or predatory marketing practices. As a result, BestRide helps dealers increase profits, reduce advertising costs, and reduce their dependence on underperforming, overcharging third party websites.   

The website has over 5.5 million new and used car listings from automotive dealers nationwide. The BestRide Publishing Network is visited by more than 23 million car shoppers each month, providing them with comprehensive pricing information, in-depth automotive research and reviews, side-by-side comparison tools, and more, all in an easy to navigate website.
