Mitch pulls back the curtain on his innovative online marketplace and shares how his unique pricing algorithm and proxy offer system are revolutionizing the car buying process. He also gives us insights into DriveDown's selective car acceptance approach and their value-adding marketing techniques, offering a different perspective on how to obtain a collector car. We shift gears and take a look at the 2023 Chrysler Pacifica Minivan. From exploring the four available trim levels and the hybrid powertrain option to dissecting the features of the Pinnacle trim level model. We also delve into the impressive 500-mile range of the hybrid version and look at the base model price of $37,270, going all the way up to the higher priced trim level base model of $59,995. As we coast towards the end of the episode, we open the floor for a discussion about everything from high schoolers building solar cars in an upcoming episode to the cost of organic groceries at Whole Foods. Don't think we forgot about Tesla - we also kickaround the future of their plugs and the potential to dominate the car charging system. All this and more on this episode of In Wheel Time Car Talk!www.DriveDown.comBe sure to subscribe for more In Wheel Time Car Talk!---- ----- Want more In Wheel Time car talk any time?
