Connecting Dealers and Lenders with Consumers

Buy here pay here (BHPH) dealers and lenders have relied on the GoldStar GPS to reduce their lending risk, collect more payment and quickly recover their assets. Starting today, a host of consumer benefits extend to consumers with the release of the GoldStar Connect mobile app.

Dealers and lenders now can offer connected car features and GPS security and peace of mind to consumers, regardless of vehicle make, model, and year. The nation’s leading used car sales and finance enterprise, J.D. Byrider, sells the mobile app on 90 percent of vehicles sold at its corporate-owned stores. The consumer app sells so well because of the real additional value the product offers, according to Greg Thomas, director of procurement and optimization at J.D. Byrider.
