AmeriCredit

Corp. announced Jan. 23 the immediate availability of instant

loan decision capability for auto dealers utilizing the

DealerTrack system.

AmeriCredit's proprietary loan decision tool analyzes the data

submitted via the Internet through DealerTrack, a free tool available

to dealers for providing consumer financing, and electronically

returns a decision in minutes. The service is "always

available, 24/7" so dealers can spend more time selling cars.

"AmeriCredit has long been a technology innovator, investing in

information-based solutions that enable best-in-class service to

dealers through our extensive branch network," commented Mark Floyd,

president of dealer services for AmeriCredit. "This has resulted in

new ideas and continuous improvements which have helped us become the

largest independent middle-market auto lender in North America."

"We are extremely pleased that AmeriCredit has chosen to enhance

their dealer offering exclusively through DealerTrack," commented Mark

O'Neil, president and chief executive officer of DealerTrack.

"Implementing automated decisioning enables almost instantaneous

turnaround time and completes the full automation of the credit

process. Lenders like AmeriCredit are quickly distinguishing

themselves as technology innovators and top notch service providers,"

added O'Neil.

AmeriCredit will demonstrate the DealerTrack application in its

booth at the National Auto Dealer Association (NADA) Trade Show in New

Orleans beginning Saturday, January 26 through Tuesday, January 29,

2002 at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, Booth No.4721.

Demonstrations will also be available at the DealerTrack booth,

No.1069.

AmeriCredit, JP Morgan Chase and Wells Fargo developed the

DealerTrack system for automating the auto dealer-lender process. By

enabling dealers to submit loan applications to multiple lenders 24

hours a day, 7 days a week, DealerTrack claims to provide an end-to-end loan

and lease transaction channel that improves efficiencies and

profitability for lender and dealer users.
