Mautofied.com Announces a Banner Sales Year-to-Date of Custom Autos, Trucks, and Motorcycles

Despite declining sales of new vehicles in the U.S. and a nationwide economic slump, Mautofied.com has facilitated over 7,700 transactions as of October 31, 2008. Consistently surpassing expectations, Mautofied.com continues to see record numbers of unique visitors who use its proprietary classifieds to buy, sell, and trade their vehicles. It is now the largest site on the Web dedicated solely to custom cars, trucks and motorcycles.

We thought we'd see a drop off in visitors and sales with all the troubles in the economy, particularly the auto business

But that hasn't happened. We have a significant reach into the auto enthusiast market, which proves the durability of the Mautofied concept.

I was in my last year of college and I was trying to sell my lowered '64 Impala. At the time the only place on the Web to list cars was Auto Trader. My custom car just got lost. I was getting calls from soccer moms wanting to know what hydraulics were. I knew there had to be a better way to reach an audience that appreciated a custom vehicle.

I created Mautofied.com for auto enthusiasts who don't want to waste time sifting through thousands of stockers to find the one custom car their looking for. With our unique search parameters, Mautofied.com has developed a loyal following in the custom marketplace. It's now the third largest listing of autos for sale on the Web

I didn't expect that a nationwide community of car lovers would sprout up

We get a lot of soldiers logging in from Iraq wanting to sell their rides back home. I'm glad we can help

Orange, Calif. (PRWEB) November 20, 2008 -- Mautofied.com, the premier Web site for selling or trading custom cars and trucks, just announced that sales and trades of all types of custom vehicles continues to grow, reaching over 7,770 transactions as of October 31, with an aggregate value of over $55,000,000.

"We thought we'd see a drop off in visitors and sales with all the troubles in the economy, particularly the auto business," Mr. DeSimone, CEO of Mautofied said. "But that hasn't happened. We have a significant reach into the auto enthusiast market, which proves the durability of the Mautofied concept."

As the financial markets tighten and unemployment sky rockets, many auto enthusiasts have had to let their special projects go due to financial difficulties. The incentive to trade for or purchase something more fuel efficient or just the desire for a new project continues to fuel Mautofied's growth. With over 70,000 registered users, close to 600,000 unique monthly visits, and 12,000 new listings, Mautofied.com continues to innovate and enrich its custom classified niche. The site can be viewed at Custom Auto Classifieds.

Mr. DeSimone went on to explain the genesis of the concept for Mautofied.com. "I was in my last year of college and I was trying to sell my lowered '64 Impala. At the time the only place on the Web to list cars was Auto Trader. My custom car just got lost. I was getting calls from soccer moms wanting to know what hydraulics were. I knew there had to be a better way to reach an audience that appreciated a custom vehicle."

In 1999 Google had no listings under "custom auto classifieds." So there was no place on the Web to list vehicles that could be searched by categories of customization work. "I created Mautofied.com for auto enthusiasts who don't want to waste time sifting through thousands of stockers to find the one custom car their looking for. With our unique search parameters, Mautofied.com has developed a loyal following in the custom marketplace. It's now the third largest listing of autos for sale on the Web," Mr. DeSimone said. For the complete list of proprietary search categories go to Custom Searches.

"I didn't expect that a nationwide community of car lovers would sprout up," Mr. DeSimone said.

Customizing cars, trucks and motorcycles has a long tradition in many parts of the country; but once a car is modified, either to the engine, frame, body or interior, this typically skews the trade in value. Dealers don't want cars that have been customized simply because they're difficult to sell or because customizing voids the warranty. Sellers can advertise in the newspaper, but that's often expensive and won't reach beyond the borders of their local area. Sales of custom autos usually take place in the communities of car clubs or shows. When Mautofied went online, it created a nationwide car lot exclusively for custom vehicles. Now once someone completes a project, needs to sell, or is looking to trade they can tap Mautofied's nationwide audience quickly to reach auto enthusiasts who appreciate and find value in custom vehicles.

In turn, buyers can find the type of custom car, truck or motorcycle quickly because of the site's unique search categories. Cars are shipped all over the country, and even to foreign markets like Australia and England. "We get a lot of soldiers logging in from Iraq wanting to sell their rides back home. I'm glad we can help," Mr. DeSimone said. Mautofied.com now has over 10,000 testimonials of satisfied users from all over the world. Those can be viewed at Modified Testimonies.
