SEATTLE, Dec. 13, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Car buyers in Virginia dreading a trip to the dealership now have a new option to purchase a brand new car from the comfort of their living room -- in their pajamas if they so wish.
Joydrive, the largest marketplace to buy a car online, has expanded to the Old Dominion State with the help of a partnership with Reynolds GM Subaru out of Orange, VA making 5 new vehicle brands immediately available for online purchase and home delivery along with Joydrive's 20+ existing brand inventory.
Unlike their solely used car competitors, Joydrive works with dealerships to simplify the new and used car buying experience and bring it totally online for the benefit of both the customer and dealer via their end-to-end platform. Joydrive has created a car buying solution no one has ever built – a consistent experience with competing dealerships united to one common platform.
And based on Joydrive's reviews, they seem to be working. Says one happy customer, "I worked all day, made dinner, worked in the yard, and the car was delivered to my door at 6. This is definitely how I will purchase a car again rather than sitting in offices waiting to sign."
Joydrive has experienced unprecedented growth (450%) from Q2 to now with more than 60 dealerships across nine states making a total inventory of more than 16,000 cars (the most of any online auto retailer) available to customers from coast to coast.
"Joydrive is not a middleman like other services. A middleman still makes you go to a dealership and go through 90% of the traditional car buying rigmarole," says Hunter Gorham, CEO of Joydrive. "Joydrive is a sit in your pajamas on a Saturday morning, do your research, pick out your car, get an estimate for your trade-in, apply for and receive financing, schedule your delivery and then make breakfast kind of service."
Here's how it works:
- Buy Online: The entire process can be completed online, from vehicle selection to delivery. After securing a vehicle with a $199 fully refundable deposit, a user-friendly dashboard shows all details of the transaction including trade-in, Vehicle Service Contracts, financing options, and delivery schedules. Of Joydrive's completed transactions, 40% included a trade-in, and 60% included financing.
- Home Delivery: Communicating through the dashboard, customers coordinate the vehicle delivery date and time with their licensed dealer representatives. Because vehicles are located on dealer lots, delivery can occur as fast as one day.
- 5-Day Return Period: Buying a car can be the largest transaction customers make, so Joydrive and their dealer members offer a 5-day return period or up to 250 miles to ensure customers love their purchase. Customers can drive the car how they will actually use it. To date, less than one percent of Joydrive's transactions have been returned.
