Meet the Auto-Space team.Auto-Space.com is revolutionizing the automotive industry with a new business model that puts the customer in charge. Through Auto-Space.com, our customers manage their entire buying experience online, much like shopping with a favorite e-tailer. Instead of being confined to an on-site inventory, our e-dealership offers drivers an unlimited selection of vehicles. To ensure that our customers receive the highest quality product, we focus on low-mileage cars that are still under the manufacturer's warranty. After our customers purchase their vehicle, Auto-Space delivers it to their doorstep. That's right- they don't even need to leave their house! Our founder, Dr. John Lorge III, was tired of seeing his friends and family being taken advantage of by car dealers and decided it was time for a change. In a tough economy, he felt it was imperative to develop a car dealership that offered the best price for consumers. Dr. Lorge has designed the Auto-Space experience to be as transparent as possible so that the customer gets the best deal on a quality vehicle. Auto-Space doesn't attempt to profit off our customers through financing or extended warranties. Instead, we help our customers save money and find vendors that meets their needs. Hassling and haggling at car dealerships should be a thing of the past. Join Auto-Space.com in the automotive revolution. Choose Auto-Space.com for the right car at the right price.
