GM and eBay Join Forces to Auction New Cars…

Posted by Dave Mark on Aug 11, 2009 in cars, eBay

Interesting move by GM. They joined forces with eBay to launch a new web site that allows California car buyers to haggle over the price of a new car over the web. The site is http://gm.ebay.com. I played with it a bit, here’s a screenshot of one car I looked at:

Cobalt

There’s a “Buy It Now” link, but why would anyone click that? There’s clearly a minimum acceptable offer. I tried $100 and then $1000. Both those offers were greeted with “We’re sorry, but yourgmdealer has declined your Best Offer for US $1,000.00.” I was too chicken to go any higher than that.

Remember, this is part of eBay, so don’t bid if you can’t follow through with the purchase. But if anyone does end up buying a car on this site, I’d love to hear about your experience…
