(BSNS WIRE) Auto Network Group To Present at Association of Consumer Veh Auto Network Group To Present at Association of Consumer Vehicle Lessors Business Editors/Automotive Writers SCOTTSDALE, Ariz.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--March 2, 1999--Auto Network Group (OTCBB: ANWK) announced today it has accepted an invitation to make a presentation at the Association of Consumer Vehicle Lessors (ACVL) convention on March 5, 1999 in Tempe, Arizona. CFO Mark Moldenhauer will present Auto Network's new website, AutoTradeCenter.com (http://www.autotradecenter.com) to the ACVL members. ACVL is comprised of the nation's 25 largest leasing companies who together account for over 80% of the retail auto leases nationwide. Moldenhauer will also participate as a panelist on Wednesday, March 4, 1999. The panel will focus on the Internet and its impact on the automobile business. The Company's Internet service represents a significant addition to the "business-to-business" service application of the Internet and complements its wholesale automobile business. The web site is a revolutionary online service that allows automobile dealers to view available inventory for more efficient dealer-to-dealer buying, selling and trading. The database of automobile inventory will be for wholesaling only, limiting access over a secured connection to registered dealers. Posting to the database is currently a free service for dealers. In addition, the site provides large dealership groups an Intranet service, allowing access to internal inventory through controlled security access. Auto Network Group, Inc. is the fastest growing, publicly-held wholesaler of used late model and luxury automobiles in the country. The Company is capitalizing on the billion-dollar wholesale market by focusing operations in strategic segments of the country. Auto Network's strategy is to gain market share in key urban areas by acquiring and consolidating the independent automobile wholesaling companies. This strategy will provide the Company with access to a large and growing volume of high-quality late model and luxury automobiles. It will also allow Auto Network to take advantage of geographical disparities in the value of cars. For more information on AutoTradeCenter.com, please visit autotradecenter.com.
