eBay Motors Unveils New Program to Help Drivers Keep their Cars on the Road Longer
Thursday, May 25, 2023
"Renew Your Ride" invites car enthusiasts to receive consultations from renowned builders - with a new guarantee that the parts will fit your vehicle
The program also invites drivers everywhere to follow T-Pain as he upgrades his 1994 Honda Accord with eBay Motors
SAN JOSE, Calif., May 17, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, eBay Motors announces a first-of-its-kind program that helps drivers keep their cars on the road longer. Taking place over Memorial Day weekend in Atlanta, the "Renew Your Ride" event offers in-person consultations with expert builders about how to extend the life of a vehicle - from classics and project builds to everyday models - using newly launched eBay Guaranteed Fit purchase protections. After their consultation, attendees will walk away with up to $200 toward their part or accessory purchase on eBay Motors.
Average new car transaction prices are up nearly 30% compared to 2020,(1) and in the face of high interest rates and affordability concerns, more shoppers are putting off buying a new vehicle. Renew Your Ride reflects the increasingly popular choice to upgrade and modify a car rather than buy new, and offers real-world inspiration from renowned builders, including six-time GRAMMY-winning artist, entrepreneur, drift driver, and car builder T-Pain.
The self-proclaimed car lover recently worked with the crew from Donut, the automotive YouTube channel, to upgrade his beloved 1994 Honda Accord using parts backed by eBay Guaranteed Fit. The new purchase protections launched earlier this year, giving users more confidence when buying and selling parts and accessories on the marketplace. Shoppers can simply look for the 'Fits' checkmark on eligible listings to know they are getting the right part, or their money back.
"My Honda Accord is fully custom inside and out - it's a true one-of-one, and I want to keep it on the road forever," said T-Pain. "With eBay Guaranteed Fit, I was confident in finding the right parts to make the performance and comfort upgrades I wanted, like a new exhaust and head unit."
"More than ever, drivers are waiting to buy new vehicles and opting instead to upgrade the car they already have," said Ron Jaiven, GM of Parts & Accessories, eBay Motors. "Renew Your Ride demonstrates the significance of eBay Guaranteed Fit and how eBay empowers shoppers to trust they're getting the right part for their project."

At the Atlanta event, attendees can connect with on-site experts about how to update their vehicles for longevity, safety and comfort. At the end of the consultation, drivers will be able to purchase the recommended parts or accessories backed by eBay Guaranteed Fit with eBay Motors covering up to $200 of the cost. Here's more on what to expect:
-- Local drivers can visit eBay.com/RenewYourRide to schedule an

consultation, attendees can order up to $200 in free parts backed by
