CARLSBAD, Calif. & CAMPBELL, Calif. (Business Wire EON) November 5, 2007 --
Adicio, Inc., the Internet’s leading developer
of web-based classified advertising solutions, today announced an
agreement with IntelliChoice.com, the leading source for automotive
ownership cost and value analysis, to make IntelliChoice.com’s
Cost of Ownership data available through the Adicio automotive software
platform. The agreement will enable Adicio’s
clients to provide their consumers on their automotive sites with a
complete 5-year picture of the total cost to own and operate vehicles
based on make and model.
IntelliChoice.com’s Cost of Ownership data has
become an important component in the buying cycle as it empowers
consumers to make more informed purchase decisions by providing them
with core ownership costs such as fuel economy, maintenance and
insurance premiums. Consumers will be able to view details including:
Total Target Price, Depreciation, Financing, State Fees, applicable Gas
Guzzler Tax, applicable Hybrid Tax Credit, Insurance, Fuel, Maintenance
and Repairs. The sum of all the items affecting the cost of the vehicle
determines the total 5-year ownership cost. Consumers can also see the
vehicle's estimated value at the end of the 5-year period as well as how
similar vehicles in the same class compare.
"The cost to operate vehicles can be vastly different depending on the
make and model so it’s important to compare
similar vehicles in the same class to get an accurate picture of the
total ownership cost,” says James Bell,
Publisher, IntelliChoice.com. "Our data arms car buyers with the
information they need to make smart buying decisions.”
“IntelliChoice.com uses algorithms that they
have fine-tuned over the last 21 years to determine the cost of
ownership,” says Deep Menon, General Manager -
Motors, Adicio. “This detailed analysis will
enable our clients to provide their online car buyers with essential
information. It’s just another example of how
we consistently add value for our automotive clients so they can
effectively compete in their local markets.”
IntelliChoice.com uses the latest information from numerous automotive
resources to evaluate what it costs to buy, own and operate specific
vehicles over a five-year period. IntelliChoice.com updates vehicle data
multiple times a month in order to capture the many expiring car rebates
and ongoing incentive programs offered by manufacturers--giving
consumers the most up-to-date analysis.
