SAN DIEGO, Nov. 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Former MP3.com Senior Vice President Donald Buffamanti and MP3.com Co-founder Greg Flores formally announced today the release of the Auto Spies premium newsletter. The pair that helped MP3.com turn the music industry on its ear has taken aim at the automotive industry with a news service that blends the inside information and investigation prowess of 60 Minutes with the editorial integrity of Consumer Reports.
Auto Spies' mission is to provide car buyers access to the best inside information anywhere. This insight can save car buyers money and help them make the most informed buying decision possible.
During its pre-launch period over the last ten months, Autospies.com has given thousands of readers money-saving insider information on cars, which cannot be found anywhere else in print or on the Internet. "Car buyers have been yearning for an automotive publication that tells it like it is, without the fear of losing ad dollars from auto manufacturers and dealers," says CEO and Founder Donald Buffamanti.
Autospies.com is the only automotive publication in print or on the Internet that does not accept advertising from automotive manufacturers or dealers.
Says President Flores, "Unlike some other publications, our opinions will never be influenced by the reliance on ad dollars. The goal of Auto spies is to always keep our subscribers best interests at the forefront of what we do."
The Auto Spies sift through an Internet rumor mill of thousands of tips and insider news from a global network of "spies," many of whom work directly in the auto industry.
Getting this type of information directly from sources while using the power of the Internet gives Autospies.com the ability to scoop traditional print and Internet magazines by weeks and months. According to Auto Spies CEO and Founder Donald Buffamanti, "The insight and information can help clarify things coming from an industry whose selling tactics, release schedules, quality issues and general practices are not always apparent and sometimes confusing to the automotive consumer." Where "knowledge is power" and "timing is everything," one good tip from the Auto Spies, can save you thousands of dollars.
For instance, if you had been a subscriber to the Auto Spies premium newsletter in January 2002, you would have been alerted to the mounting problems on the new BMW 7-series automobile and seen our prediction of possible recalls four months before the "official" recall was announced from BMW.
Quotes from some of our current subscribers:
"Your article regarding the BMW 745i service loaners was timely; I almost got burned for $7,000 plus $2,000 in finance income!"
"I thoroughly enjoy your newsletter each week. It's nice to get some OPINION and SPECULATION into this kind of publication."
"As a long-time car guy and subscriber to Autoweek, Automobile and Car and Driver, and former subscriber to most of the other car magazines, I appreciate the absence of industry ass kissing and sales-brochure driven pandering in your newsletter."
The Auto Spies Premium Subscriber service has several levels to meet the needs of the casual car buyer as well as the avid car enthusiast. All levels give full access to the archive of inside information, photos, news and rumors for a specific period. Users will be able to choose a 30-day subscription for $20.00, geared toward the casual buyer or for the enthusiast, a full year of the Auto Spies premium newsletter, for $99.00.
Instead of spending hundreds of dollars subscribing to numerous print magazines and wasting hours trying to search multiple sites for the latest information, Auto Spies does the work for you and packages it in a very easy to read and efficient "executive summary."
For a limited time only, the Auto Spies premium newsletter is being offered at no cost. Signup is quick and easy, just go to http://www.autospies.com.
