Where do our members come from?
Members come from every cross-section of the enthusiast community.
From hot rodders and drag racers to sport compacts and exotics. From truck and off-road to drifting and rallying. No matter what marque they follow or interest they pursue, this common automotive passion creates a seriously strong connection with fellow enthusiasts. Uniting these diverse groups into one unprecedented economic powerhouse—to the benefit of consumer and vendor alike—is the driving mission behind Car Guy Nation.
Many of these enthusiasts are active in online forums and car clubs. Those same groups make up the core of Car Guy Nation’s marketing partners. These marketing partners are incentivized to actively promote Car Guy Nation since they share in the revenue generated by their members.

HOW DOES IT WORK?
Buying Power = Low Prices
We focus on selling car guy products and services at the best possible price by leveraging the purchasing power of our membership base, significantly cutting overhead cost and working on tighter margins.
Low Overhead + No Marketing Cost = Great Prices
We have no promotional or advertising cost and instead rely on our members and marketing partners to broadcast the benefits of the club. This social media approach/social commerce business model further reduces our overhead, and those savings are passed on to our members.
Turn Orphan Stock into Cash Dollars
As a rule, our members are very interested in closeouts, overstock inventory and orphan stock that you might have in small quantities. Your CGN account manager will contact you with the necessary Deal Insertion Forms (DIFs) to get your dead stock listed and sold. Unlike eBay there are no upfront costs, we just need your best net/net price.
Empty Seats Don’t Pay the Bills
For service Vendors like driving schools, track events, services centers, repair & installation shops, ticket and travel brokers, we offer a Member Discount Voucher (MDV) program. Car Guy Nation asks that you provide a small “member discount,” and we then promote it to our membership base and help drive the new business to your location or website. This program will cost you far less than any other form of advertising and will help sell those empty seats or services before they become worthless. For samples of our Member Discount Vouchers- click here.
Get in Front of Millions of Car Guys
For “one-off” items of interest to a car guy like collectibles, memorabilia, art, pre–owned high–end watches and vintage posters we have a unique and scalable commission program. Click Here
MAP Pricing/Shipping Policies
All MAP policies will be enforced if deemed applicable and necessary by the vendor. We pay all shipping and drop-ship fees for handling unless other arrangements have been agreed to.

GROUP IT:Request A Group Buy
As a Vendor with Car Guy Nation, many Members will specifically request
your products when they use our Group Buy Program.
Members can propose a Group Buy for a particular item or service and will then drum up interest among their fellow car enthusiasts on Facebook and car forums to provide the numbers they need for the best deal. We then approach you to negotiate a price that will entice our Members and move your product! And we include the Gas Car Program at no cost to you.

QUOTE IT:Use the Nation’s Buying Power
Most of our Members know exactly what they want to buy and how much
they want to pay. Car Guy Nation is all about buying power for them and
selling power for you. By joining forces with us, you can move inventory
without the upfront expense of advertising. If our Members want it, get us a
quote, and we’ll sell it. And it includes the Member incentive of
5% back in gas.
GAS IT:Our Gas Program
Best of all, purchases on the Car Guy Nation site earn a 5% rebate towards
gas for the first 100,000 Members. That’s selling power for you. At the end of each quarter, Members can request Prepaid Car Guy Nation Gas Cards in $50
increments.
American Express administers the program, and the cards are good at most major gas stations across the U.S. This is in addition to any rebates Members might receive from their credit card company.
