/24-7PressRelease/ - DALLAS, TX, February 09, 2007 - Car enthusiasts can now indulge their passion for luxury cars without breaking the bank, thanks to DFW Elite Car Club.com. The sister company of DFW Elite Auto Rental.com, this exclusive new club opens the door to a 4+ million dollar stable of more than 50 luxury cars, ranging from classic beauties to hot-off-the-assembly-line exotics.
"Without Elite Car Club, I simply could not afford to drive the variety of the world's best cars that are now a phone call away for me. In the space of one week, I've driven a Ferrari F430, a Lotus Elise, and a '65 Corvette convertible. I love it," says Adam Caudle.
DFW Elite Car Club.com provides the thrill of driving some of the world's most luxurious cars without the costs or responsibilities that accompany ownership. For a monthly fee, members have access to a fleet that includes Hummers, Land Rovers, Porsches, Ferraris, Bentleys and even the new Rolls-Royce Phantom. Five different "tiers" allow club members to select their level of financial participation and to choose the amount of car usage that best suits their lifestyle. And, unlike many other clubs in the nation that charge a sizeable up-front fee, DFW Elite Car Club.com charges a nominal initiation fee followed by monthly payments. The corporate tier makes the fleet available to corporations for incentives, meetings, vendors and executives.
"Golfers don't buy the course just to shoot a round, so why should people who want to drive the world's best automobiles bear the costs of ownership? Our vision is to provide all the pleasure of driving the cars without depreciation, maintenance, and the other hassles of ownership in a club atmosphere," says local entrepreneur and DFW Elite Car Club.com owner Ron Sturgeon.
"The time is right for people to rethink how they're enjoying the latest cars," says Ron Van Horssen, CEO of the Van Horssen Group, a membership club in Phoenix. "Cars are depreciating assets so theirs no reason to own them fractionally or otherwise. But there are a lot of reasons to enjoy them and compare them."
The concept has attracted attention in both the automotive and business press with recent articles on the benefits of car clubs appearing in Business Week, Forbes, and the Chicago Tribune.
"Membership is a way for people to enjoy driving elite vehicles for a price far lower than the cost of ownership or what it would cost to rent a car of their dreams for a weekend," explains DFW Elite Car Club.com owner Ron Sturgeon. "We already have these cars in our showroom, so our members will have an incredible selection to choose from."
DFW Elite Car Club.com's 50+ distinctive vehicles make it the car club with the largest and most varied inventory in the nation, and its member-to-car ratio - five to one - is the lowest in the United States for clubs with a similar number of elite vehicles. "We researched the top 16 clubs from across the U.S. to be certain our ratio would be the very best for members," Sturgeon adds.
"To maintain that ratio, we'll add cars to ensure that cars remain easily available to members," Sturgeon said. "We are already ahead of other clubs in acquiring the latest hard-to-get vehicles, and we plan on keeping that lead."
In addition to access to more than 50 luxury cars, membership in DFW Elite Car Club.com includes special invitations to exclusive, members-only events; a points system that rewards members for referrals and points that carry over from month to month; an affiliate agreement that provides discounts with other car clubs; and discounts off the innovative Drive Your Dream exotic auto tours.
