Aaron Manley Smith’s Summary

Motorphilia is the first fully online car dealership in Austin,TX.

We market, sell, and ship cars not just locally, but globally.

Our goal is to make buying a car simpler than ordering a computer online.

We also see business different than other dealerships.

When you buy a car from us, you are not a customer.

You are a partner and a part of Motorphilia.

This is a social community.

We cater to a savvier clientele who demands to have the unfiltered facts.

It's a special relationship and you will realize that we are here to help you and we really want to save you, your family, and your friends, money.

Driving cars should be fun and you should not have to break the bank doing it.

The business model is very simple.

1. Keep overhead to a bare minimum.

2. Utilize the internet as the sole medium to reaching out to our global market.

3. Provide incredibly detailed presentations to our customer

4. Make all transactions move quickly and easily.

5. Assist our customers with transportation arrangements anywhere on the globe.
