Boca Raton, Fla.  – ShipYourCarNow, an automotive transportation, technology and service provider, announced it has partnered with E-Dealer Direct an online used car auction with a large presence in the southwest focused on front line units from a variety of sellers at competitive rates.

It is an exciting opportunity for us to work with Auctions that have embraced the virtual nature of the changing wholesale marketplace like E-Dealer Direct.

Founded in El Paso, Texas by automotive professionals with more than 60 years of combined industry experience, E-Dealer Direct provides an auction marketplace that makes it easy for buyers and sellers to control the sale through preferences, proxy bidding and counter bidding features. With the seamless ShipYourCarNow integration, shipping solutions are now embedded within the feature rich Auction site, providing even more value to Dealers.

Gavin Kesten, Founder and CEO of ShipYourCarNow; “It is an exciting opportunity for us to work with Auctions that have embraced the virtual nature of the changing wholesale marketplace like E-Dealer Direct” He added “It is estimated that 50% of all wholesale transactions are occurring on-line, this percentage will continue to grow and will typically require a shipping solution like ShipYourCarNow!”

“We knew we wanted to grow our geographical footprint beyond our local region and that there was a high demand for the particular type and high quality used car and truck we were presenting in our on-line auction platform. We just didn’t know how to overcome the transport barrier” said Victor Valenzuela President and Co-Founder of E-DealerDirect. “ShipYourCarNow provided a seamless easily integrated solution to answer that question!”

John Robertson EVP for ShipYourCarNow went on to say, “We are the shipper, and our integrated solutions provide our client’s users with the ability to understand the total cost of unit acquisition including transportation immediately prior to placing their bid or purchase! Upon purchase all shipping services are included, no additional work or communication required, this saves the dealer time and effort and gets them back to what they do best, buying and selling cars!
