On Tuesday, General Motors dealers in California will reportedly start using eBay to sell new cars. After declaring bankruptcy, General Motors said they will change they way they operate to become more efficient. This move to eBay, the largest online marketplace on the internet, is part of that plan.
About 90% of General Motors dealers in California will take part in the eBay program. While the Tuesday launch hasn’t officially been announced, multiple sources indicate the announcement will take place on Monday.
The cars will be searchable on GM.eBay.com. Additionally, there will reportedly be a built in function to include the Cash for Clunkers program and allow consumers to figure out if their vehicles are eligible.
If you are in the market for a new Pontiac, GMC, Chevrolet or Buick, this may be a cool way to get your hands on a new car. While it makes the most sense for consumers who live in California, the dealers supposedly will be open to shipping cars to other states.
