ATLANTA — DealerMatch and the National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers (NAMAD) are partnering to present the DealerMatch NAMAD Network, an exclusive network within the auto industry’s largest dealer-to-dealer marketplace.

Along with visibility into the entire DealerMatch marketplace, NAMAD members can access a private trading network that allows them to buy and sell inventory directly with fellow members.

“One of our goals is to provide our members with better inventory sourcing and management tools to give them a leg up on the competition,” said Damon Lester, president of NAMAD. “DealerMatch offers two great advantages — an online marketplace that shows dealers all available vehicles, not just units being wholesaled online or at auction, and a more efficient trading environment that eliminates auction fees.”

Association members can also expand their network of trading partners to include the more than 30,000 dealers nationwide whose inventory is on DealerMatch. Standard DealerMatch features include access to more than one million retail-ready vehicles, one low monthly fee for unlimited transactions, and an optional purchase protection program.

A Pro Package is also available that includes access to DealerMatch’s proprietary MatchPro technology. MatchPro analyzes member activities and recommends vehicles and sellers to help dealers better meet their needs, officials said.

“More than 800 members of NAMAD will reap the benefits that a dealer-to-dealer marketplace offers over the traditional auction model,” said Greg Easterly, president and co-founder of DealerMatch. “Now NAMAD members can accelerate profits simply by better leveraging their current network, the NAMAD network and expanding to meet new dealers through DealerMatch.”
