Making Information Public

 

“Information and technology are really affording consumers a way to transform how they buy cars,” Painter said. “Millenials and modern day shoppers just simply aren’t going to buy the car the same way that they used to. They are going to use their phone, more and more, they are going to rely on data and information.”

“Today what TrueCar is really been focussing on up to now is to price confidence and price discovery, which are really the things that add a lot of anxiety to the transaction. So, we are publishing today for the first time information about what everyone else actually paid for their vehicle, which is really the only way to inform what is a fair price”

 

He continued, “And then we have got a network of about one out of every three dealers in the U.S., over 10,000 dealers that provide an upfront negotiation free price without any negotiation required.”

 

Hard To Be In Auto Retail

 

Painter was asked why the dealers have agreed to share important pricing information with customers. He replied, “I think the intuition around that is real, I mean dealers were some of the last to give up that data, but I think it’s much harder to be in auto retail than most people realize.”
