“Era of Excess in Car Sales Is Over,” Says SuperCarDirect.com Founder In Announcing Free Listings Stimulus Plan

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--“Corporate greed has kept fees for car classifieds websites too high for too long,” says John Sweeney. “It’s time to help the average citizen who is trying to buy or sell a used car or truck and that’s what our special stimulus plan is designed to do.”

Sweeney, founder of the free car classified website SuperCarDirect, announced today that SuperCarDirect.com is extending its free listings period from the current 60 days until after the new President takes office on Jan. 20, 2009.

“Sellers who list with us now will get free classified ads, along with up to 20 photos, for about twice as long as what we’ve been offering,” Sweeney explained. “Whoever takes office is going to have his hands full with the economy and this will give a boost to the used car market, which is an important business sector.”

Launched a year ago and now showcasing a daily inventory of more than 600,000 used cars and trucks, SuperCarDirect.com is competing head-on with websites that charge sellers to list their vehicles, a business model Sweeney says is doomed.

“Classified car sites that charge fees are on a bridge to nowhere,” he contends. “SuperCarDirect understands that people trying to raise money by selling a vehicle need a rescue plan and that’s what we’re providing. There are no hidden costs, no earmarks, no gimmicks – just free listings to help millions of car owners across this great country of ours.”
