Wal-Mart will sell cars

I can just imagine the returns line at customer service.

AutoNews— 

Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the nation’s largest retailer, is jumping into car sales through partnerships with dealership groups, including AutoNation Inc., the nation’s largest new-vehicle retailer.

CarSaver, an online auto retail platform, will launch the program April 1 at about 25 Wal-Mart Supercenters in four markets: Houston, Dallas, Phoenix and Oklahoma City.

Ally Financial is the program’s preferred lender.

CarSaver’s digital platform allows car shoppers to select, finance and insure a vehicle through its website or on a touch-screen kiosk, backed by bilingual auto advisers available by phone. Staffers at CarSaver Centers — set up inside Wal-Mart stores across from checkout lanes and alongside other services, such as vision centers and nail salons — will explain the car-buying program to Wal-Mart customers.

  1. Simplified Ordering of Vehicle Options:

    “Yeah, I’ll take the ‘primer-gray’ fender option, the rusty rocker panels, along with the tree-log rear bumper option. Also, gimme the four-mismatched t’ars option, with no hubcaps, and throw in one ‘a them cassette players.”

  2. Seems to me that SAM”S Club (a Wal Mart affiliate) has been doing this for quite some time now. Much like COSTCO and others Wal Mart finally decided to expand their horizons seeing there is a new sheriff in town. I expect that we will see a lot of new ideas and clever inovations floating about once the chains are lifted off this economy by President Trump.
