Witz Pickz: EvenLevel.Com & Sticking It to Car Dealers

I’ve had it with car dealers. The shear number of commercials alone drive me insane, with every odd-ball nobody getting a thirty second spot where they wander around their lot casually or kookily telling me how freakin’ awesome their deals are. Sometimes they act too cool for school with their prices. Other times they remind me how Hometown they are. At best they tell me they have a sale which might be useful to me, and at worst they tell me that some horrific event has occurred and for no reason in particular they absolutely positively must eliminate their car stock or all shit will break loose”!”.

I’ve never had to buy a car, but no matter what the commercials tell me, I know that they are making money off of selling me a car. That their, “Rock Bottom Prices” are still putting their children through college. Car Dealerships are not tax write-offs—they are making money off of me.

Which brings us to EvenLevel.Com, a new startup internet site that is sticking it to car dealerships. There is nothing I like more than a militant car mitigator—to quote their mission statement as found on their blog at evenlevel.wordpress.com:

“This is an opening salvo, a shot across the bow, of the car industry. For too long dealers have abused consumers from their legally protected position as the sole purveyor of cars to the public, they have wielded their influece to gain leverage over the consumer, to drive up prices, and to make the car buying experience as unpleasant as possible. Evenlevel is fighting back!

We, at Evenlevel, believe in the fundamental rights of the consumer to be treated with respect and to get a good deal. Evenlevel is fighting against the abuse of asymmetric information that dealers possess: knowing the car purchase price, the car condition, and the car history. We believe this information should be available to all, that the consumer should know as much about the car as the selling dealer.

We intend to liberate that information, display it to the consumer, and make the entire process transparent. By making the process more transparent, we will make the process more efficient, and drive down the cost of the car for the consumer.”

But why would a company do that? What do they get with such low, low prices? A flat fee. You see, evenlevel.com does not care how much the car is sold for, and by eliminating that greed factor, they are free to provide all the information to make a car as cheap as possible. They match up buyers with dealers who already have the car you are looking for, and get a flat fee when the transaction is completed. PLUS, they have a fantastic slogan:

EvenLevel.Com: Driving the Revolution

SOLD! While people might be a tough sell at first with the new way of doing business, I think that our generation understands the current paradigm well enough to know that change is needed and advantageous. So check out EvenLevel.com, who I promise is not sponsoring WitzPickz.com, and see if maybe it will work for you.
