Auto Gravity Will Help You Find and Finance Your Dream Car! The New York International Auto Show March 30- April 8, 2018 at The Jacob K. Javits Center, NYC

 

 

Although Auto Gravity is relatively new in the world, it’s kind of a dream come true in my eyes. This soup to nuts way to buy a car makes it easier than ever. Auto Gravity is  an Irvine, California-based financial technology company that is the creator and operator of a vehicle financing and leasing mobile app of the same name. The company was co-founded in 2015 by Andy Hinrichs, who continues to serve as chief executive officer, and its app launched in 2016. The app offers users finance and leasing offers for new and used vehicles.

There are Four Steps once you get to the Auto Gravity site:

Step One: Choose Your Car

Step Two: Find A Dealership

Step Three: Apply For Financing

Step Four: Select Offers

 

So there you go! Four easy steps and you can find the best financing around and the car that is just right for you. Auto Gravity’s app provides users finance and leasing offers for new and used vehicles, in a variety of brands and models from thousands of dealerships. The app is available on the Android and iOS mobile operating systems, and as a web application. It works with dealers and lenders, and earns revenue from them when users take out loans. A “white label” version of the app allows dealers to incorporate their own branding. The app has been credited for simplifying the financing process, saving users time, and having a higher sales conversion rate than direct sales. AutoGravity is available in all U.S. states, except Nevada, and has helped facilitate approximately $500 million in financing.
