Unlike current pre-owned car selling platforms like Cars.com, Car Lister aims to make the user experience as seamless and painless as possible. Launched last October by Dreamware, Car Lister’s web platform gives users the a way to list vehicles for sale by simply providing a VIN number and a quick series of questions. Titles and vehicle descriptions are generated automatically by Car Lister and even includes a full accident report. Through Car Lister Social, car sellers, buyers, experts, manufacturers, and whoever else can connect with each other through a unique social network just for them. The angel funding will help Car Lister expand their network of relationships with both new and pre-owned auto dealerships across the United States. It will also enable them to further develop their platform, which currently allows buyers and sellers to utilize direct messaging and Facetime to connect with each other. In addition to the funding announcement, Car Lister also announced that former President and COO of Morgan Stanley, Robert Scott, has joined Dreamware as non-executive Chairman of the Board.
Car Lister also made the media rounds earlier today with a YouTube video featuring a petite meter maid lifting a New York City taxi cab. Part of a video marketing campaign, the company teamed up with Thinkmodo to help promote its web app.
