LeaseTrader.com Adds Innovative Fuel Economy Search Standards in Search Options
Car Shoppers No Longer Want to Search for Just “Make, Model &, Color”
MIAMI – (October 2, 2008) – Fuel economy is more than just a growing trend among car shoppers - it’s a requirement. Economic conditions have forced consumers to demand better prices and stronger fuel economy standards. LeaseTrader.com, an online secondary lease marketplace, now lets customers search for vehicles based on a variety of new fuel-conscious criteria.
Responding to high demand from today’s car shopper, LeaseTrader.com has implemented new “Fuel Economy Search Criteria” for its users. Traditionally, users searched for criteria like make, model, type, and style. LeaseTrader has expanded the search functionality for the more fuel-concerned consumer to include “engine size, fuel-economy, transmission, type of fuel, and residual value.” “LeaseTrader.com has always been about providing the consumer with the very best experience in finding the right vehicle, and adding this search criteria will further aid in that process,” said Sergio Stiberman, CEO and Founder of LeaseTrader.
According to the J.D. Power survey, approximately 24 percent of Car Lease shoppers today are concerned with engine size, type of fuel, transmission, miles remaining, and fuel economy. And although many people don’t want to give up their luxury, today’s consumer is less interested in the extra amenities of a vehicle during their search. The survey showed nearly 20 percent of shoppers cited inadequate gas mileage as a reason for rejecting one car in favor of another, up three percentage points from 2007. People continue to utilize lease transfer as a great way to save money when shopping for a vehicle.
Free to browse the site, LeaseTrader.com shoppers pay just $39 for a 60-day membership and credit verification, followed by a $149 fee to transfer the lease into your name
