Roadster Unveils the Transparent Car Lease

SAN FRANCISCO, CA--(Marketwired - Jun 22, 2015) - Roadster, the "direct-to-consumer" new car buying solution, today announced Roadster Leases. Featuring exclusive monthly deals sourced by the Roadster team, Roadster Leases finally takes the fear and confusion out of leasing a new car by offering hassle-free, complete and transparent pricing. Consumers can now avoid hidden fee surprises and the disappointment of learning that the lease deal they are being offered is only available for a base model they don't really want.

First, Roadster launched the no-hassle, concierge car buying experience that finally made buying a car online as easy as buying anything else. Starting today, Roadster is further enhancing its leasing experience, bringing even more transparency, simplicity, and affordability to the vehicle leasing process.

"Whether you want to have a lower monthly payment, always drive a new car, or enjoy the most up-to-date technology, there are endless reasons why people would prefer to lease," said Rudi Thun, Roadster's COO. "Roadster has painstakingly researched, rebuilt, and demystified the leasing experience. We have shed more light on pricing, eliminated the haggling, and extracted the fear, uncertainty and doubt so many feel about the leasing process."

Roadster Leases is now available throughout California and features:

• Exclusive deals: Great deals, negotiated and curated by Roadster experts across a wide variety of vehicle categories.
• No hassles: Pre-negotiated vehicle terms and pricing. 
• No surprises: Roadster shows you the drive-off amount and monthly payment inclusive of taxes, registration and fees, down to the last penny.

How does Roadster work?
Roadster dramatically improves the new car buying and leasing process by providing a complete online buying experience from shopping for, to receiving a car. With Roadster, consumers can explore, compare and look for their perfect car online among hundreds of thousands of vehicles and instantly see available inventory, including specific options and packages. The Roadster Concierge team then works with dealers on the consumers' behalf to source cars and gets a great price.

A key part of the Roadster experience, the Concierge team is made up of helpful, unbiased pros who work on all aspects of the purchase or lease process so consumers can avoid the many hours typically spent negotiating in the finance office of a car dealership. Before making any commitment, the consumer receives a simple Deal Sheet that outlines every aspect of the transaction including cash, lease, or finance alternatives. All paperwork is printed in advance and takes less than 15-minutes to sign as part of the delivery of the new car to their home or office. Roadster also helps consumers maximize the trade-in value of their existing car.

Roadster.com was developed to address the increasingly web-savvy car buying public who in 2014 purchased 16.5 million new cars in the U.S., up 5.9% from the previous year (Source: NADA).
