As the automotive industry continues to go more digital, car shoppers want to do more online than ever before. Car shoppers also want easier and more convenient shopping to buying experiences as they browse for vehicles. Research shows us that:

· 66% of shoppers want to do more online compared to their past purchase.*

· 67% of consumers want to see payments when they shop.**

· 30%+ of consumers want to start their search with a budget.**

After carefully evaluating what consumers want, the need to create a tool that provided a more frictionless digital shopping experience for them and the dealers was crucial.

Introducing Kelley Blue Book® My Wallet, an intuitive, personalized shopper tool designed to improve the shopping to buying journey and drive more quality connections between buyers and sellers.

How It Works

If a car shopper engages with Kelley Blue Book My Wallet on Autotrader, they'll be prompted to enter a desired monthly payment, trade-in, down payment, credit range and term length. This gives consumers the most accurate "all-in" pricing in the industry.

From there, their entire search will be customized. Consumers gain budget guidance to help them better understand purchase power and can shop by payment which opens a whole new world of possibility.

My Wallet assists the consumer by:

· Enabling them to bring over his or her research and valuation activity from Kelley Blue Book

· Allowing them to shop with a realistic budget based on his or her credit range and overall buying power

· Showing more personalized payments across listings

· Providing more detailed pricing with taxes and fees and lending options

· Offering full financing through integration with Cox Automotive digital retailing, and allows them to take additional steps with digital retailing including test drive or home delivery

With My Wallet, everyone wins. Consumers get access to personalized payments as they browse, select, then move towards their purchase. Dealers get insights into the consumers financial profile to provide a more personalized sales process with less friction.
