Social Entrepreneurs Launch DriveWise Auto, a Charity Driven Auto-Buying and Leasing Service Expected to Change the Way Consumers Buy and Lease Cars

Tarzana, CA (PRWEB) February 7, 2008

Los Angeles natives and social entrepreneurs Adam Slobin and Bryan Weissman launch DriveWise Auto, a revolutionary auto-buying and leasing service that is changing the way consumers and supporters of not-for-profit organizations buy and lease their cars, and taking fund-raising to new levels.

Driven and inspired by philanthropy, DriveWise Auto is committed to assisting the community members of those organizations that are addressing the needs of society and the world through ongoing donations it makes to the charities selected by its clients for every vehicle lease or purchase…not for a month, a year, or a particular make or model, but on an ongoing and perpetual basis for both new and used vehicles.

In operation for just 5 months, DriveWise Auto has already made contributions in excess of $ 5000 to client chosen organizations such as the American Red Cross, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, TreePeople, the City of Hope, Cure Autism Now, Habitat for Humanity, Children Now, the Salvation Army, AIDS Project Los Angeles, and the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition to name a few.

DriveWise Auto is not just another way to buy a car. It is an organization grounded in the passionate beliefs of Slobin and Weissman who say that giving back to the community on a personal level is extremely significant to them, and that the business model of DriveWise Auto allows them to tie their personal values to their business lives. Yes, DriveWise Auto is an auto-buying service, but it is also an organization whose focus, goal and purpose, like those of its founders, are to be charitable, and to truly make a difference in society.

Services offered by DriveWise Auto include assistance with new and used vehicles, trade-ins, aftermarket items, financing and more for all makes, models and manufacturing lines. Clients receiving service from DriveWise Auto are guaranteed competitive pricing, a hassle-free experience, and the benefit of knowing that their favorite charitable organization will be a benefactor of their auto-buying or leasing decision.

Beth Porter, Managing Director of the Nyansa Learning Corporation’s Early Intervention Autism Program says, “Working with DriveWise was incredible! They did all the work, gave me all the information I needed about several different cars, and provided pricing I was more than pleased with! The process was easy to say the least, and it was gratifying to know that Cure Autism Now received a donation because I chose DriveWise. This is how everyone should buy their cars! It’s a win-win for everyone including, in my case, children with autism!”

Cautious Consumers Look for Value in New Cars

Manchester, England (PRWEB) August 2, 2008

Best Value is the key in new cars.

New car buyers are shunning expensive purchases and shopping for value, according to UK car website motoring.co.uk.

Searches for economical cars are at a high, with the most popular individual car being the VW Polo Bluemotion, a 74 miles per gallon supermini with ultra low emissions.

Environmental concerns leave 4 x 4 searches at only 4 percent of the total, which would have been in double figures only a year ago. Consumers are simply avoiding the gas-guzzlers and pulling in their belts.

Another popular way to buy is with interest-free finance. Many car manufacturers are using this as a way of drawing in consumers to their websites. Users on motoring.co.uk can search all the manufacturer 0% finance deals in one quick search, and it proving hugely popular, with nearly 20% of users looking for this method of payment.

Users searching by price are shunning the most expensive cars, with cars under £15000 proving popular with 60 percent of users.

Motoring.co.uk spokesperson Chris Ashton Green explains. “Consumers cannot afford to be careless in their choice of car in the current climate. Most people looking for a new vehicle will want to make sure they choose an economical, cheap to run car that is environmentally sound. Value comes in a lot of different ways, from finance deals to miles per gallon and low road tax. Our new car search allows consumers to find the value they are looking for, and compare prices and offers from all the manufacturers in one place. We have built the most inclusive new car search in the UK.”
