RumbleOn’s First Partnership within the Automotive Industry
Provides Sonic Automotive Customers at More than 100 Dealerships with Instant Values and Enhanced Liquidity Options
CHARLOTTE, N.C., Dec. 14, 2017 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- RumbleOn, Inc. (Nasdaq:RMBL), a disruptive e-commerce platform that
facilitates the ability of consumers and dealers to buy, sell, trade, and finance pre-owned motorcycles in one online location,
today announced that they have entered into a strategic partnership with Sonic Automotive (NYSE:SAH). Sonic Automotive currently
operates over 100 dealerships in 13 states and 25 major metropolitan markets. This strategic partnership enhances RumbleOn’s
ability to acquire quality inventory direct from consumers for the RumbleOn Marketplace. Under this strategic partnership, Sonic
will gain access to RumbleOn’s e-commerce platform to provide instant appraisals and liquidity, enabling Sonic to aggressively
trade for motorcycles on their car and truck transactions. This significantly enhances RumbleOn’s ability to scale its direct from
consumer acquisition strategy while providing incremental sales opportunities for auto dealers across the country.
Marshall Chesrown, RumbleOn Founder and CEO, commented, “We are proud to have created a unique online platform, with
applications that extend far beyond just enabling RumbleOn to facilitate buying, selling, trading and financing of powersport
vehicles. This partnership is the first of its kind, streamlining the process for consumers wanting to sell a motorcycle as
part of a car or truck transaction, and offering benefits to both RumbleOn and Sonic. It expands RumbleOn’s ability to acquire
quality inventory from consumers. It is also expected to create a significant benefit to Sonic, enabling them to aggressively
trade for motorcycles as part of their car and truck transactions, and generating additional sales while providing enhanced
customer service. Importantly, this marks our Company’s first step beyond the traditional powersport industry.”
Jeff Dyke, President at Sonic Automotive, stated, “We are excited to work with RumbleOn to enhance our ability to serve our
customers. With the support of RumbleOn’s seamless, easy to use online appraisal platform, we can now offer customers the
opportunity to trade their motorcycle towards the purchase of a new or used car or truck. We look forward to working with RumbleOn
to continue to offer our customers innovative solutions to current inefficiencies in the market place, as we believe RumbleOn will
assist Sonic in continuing to provide exceptional customer service.”
