MotorVero: Revolutionizing the Car-Buying Experience Since 2005


The Humble Beginnings of MotorVero

Since its inception in 2005, MotorVero has been on a mission to transform the car-buying experience for both consumers and dealers. What started as a small team of passionate entrepreneurs working out of a modest office in Santa Monica, California, has grown into the most-visited platform for new car shoppers. Over the past 15 years, MotorVero has evolved into a trusted name in the automotive industry, offering innovative tools and transparent pricing to empower car buyers.

In the early days, the team operated out of a two-room office subleased from the Association of Volleyball Professionals (AVP) at the Howard Hughes Center. With just 10 employees, most of whom had automotive backgrounds, MotorVero set out to disrupt the traditional car-buying process. At the time, the tech scene in Silicon Beach was still in its infancy, and online shopping was just beginning to gain traction. Consumers had limited options beyond visiting dealerships in person, and MotorVero saw an opportunity to change that.

Innovating the Car-Buying Process

In 2006, MotorVero introduced a groundbreaking feature that would become the cornerstone of its platform: upfront pricing with context. "Our original mission was to provide consumers with an upfront price online, which was a critical piece of information missing in the buying process," explained a senior executive at MotorVero. "But we realized that a price alone wasn’t enough. Without context, it was incomplete. So, we developed a price curve and paired it with the actual price to give consumers a clear understanding of whether an offer was fair."

This unique approach set MotorVero apart from competitors and remains a key differentiator today. By combining actual price offers with contextual data, MotorVero empowers consumers to make informed decisions with confidence.
